Opensuse linux and D-link DWA-525 (RaLink 3060 based)

Recently i've upgraded wifi network card to D-link DWA-525 based on RaLink 3060 chipset which is wifi-N capable. But my Opensuse 11.4 wasn't able to detect it. There is two ways to solve this problem - first is to download chipset driver from ralink's site (http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/support.php?sn=501), setup, compile it and use. But it seems to be in a beta state because after installation it spams your logs with debug messages (can be disabled by removing -DDBG from config.mk but anyway i don't trust drivers with debug mode turned on by default). Second and proper way in my opinion is to install ralink drivers from repositories. Search for the "ralink-firmware" on http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=ralink-firmware and "one click install" will do all the job for you.

Memory efficient array permutation in PHP 5.5 using generators

Generators support was introduced in PHP 5.5. The yield keyword is a really cool thing that allows to write an elegant and memory efficient code. It was existing in another dynamic languages like python for quite a long time and now it is in PHP as well! To demonstrate generators concept, i wrote a sample function that  yields  all permutations of the given array and avoids of data copying on recursive calls: function permute( $array ) { $length = sizeof( $array ); $inner = function ( $ix = []) use ( $array , $length , & $inner ) { $yield = sizeof( $ix ) == $length - 1 ; for ( $i = 0 ; $i < $length ; $i ++) { if (in_array( $i , $ix )) { continue ; } elseif ( $yield ) { $toYield = []; foreach (array_merge( $ix , [ $i ]) as $index ) { $toYield [] = $array [ $index ]; } yield $toYield ; ...

How to dump http request headers with PHP under CGI/FastCGI SAPI

Good old days of PHP installation exclusively as an Apache module are gone. Most of the modern PHP installations interact with a web server via FastCGI protocol. For instance nginx webserver and php-fpm daemon. This means that certain apache SAPI functions are not available anymore. One of this functions is apache_request_headers() to dump http headers sent by client. From CGI specification rfc3875, section 4.1.18: Meta-variables with names beginning with "HTTP_" contain values read from the client request header fields, if the protocol used is HTTP. The HTTP header field name is converted to upper case, has all occurrences of "-" replaced with "_" and has "HTTP_" prepended to give the meta-variable name. According to the specification above i wrote a piece of the PHP code that dumps all headers sent by client under any PHP SAPI: foreach ($_SERVER as $key => $value) { if (strpos($key, 'HTTP_') === 0) { $chunks = e...

Jqgrid show totals in the footer plugin

This plug-in automatically calculates sum of the all numeric rows in your grid and displays it in the new "Totals" row at the bottom of the grid. jqgrid 4.3.2+ is required. (function($) { $.jgrid.extend({ showTotals: function(options) { var o = $.extend({ total: "Totals", totalRow: undefined, includeRows: [] }, options || {}) return this.each(function() { if (!this.grid) { return; } var self = this; var showTotals = function() { var totals = {}; $.each(self.p.colModel, function(index, data) { if (o.totalRow && o.totalRow == data.index) { totals[data.index] = o.total; } else { var sum = NaN; if (...
