Have a custom function that is useful?

Just send me a link to a file with the function, or PM me the working code, and I'll display it in this post.


1. Evaluate mathematical expression
Here is a useful function that will take a mathematical expression and return the answer for it. Valid operators include plus + minus - multiply * divide / modulus % carrot/power ^ and parentheses ().

When used in BB Code, have one argument and it should function like so:

[math]5*6%3+((45/5)/4)[/math]

5*6%3 = 0
(45/5)/4 = 2.25
= 2.25

Here is the function:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Careful with parentheses. If you have (5/5)5 it will result in an error, and nothing will be returned.

Sorry to sound so deft here, but what does this actually do and how would we use it?

Also, I have to know. How did you do that with that screenshot at the top of the post? That is wild.

Just curious here ... was there a reason you didn't quote the message instead of just repeating it?

This is amazing, but some of them are too hardcored, may be I will use some of them.

I thought the attached screenshots would be enough of an explanation.

This hack allows you to give bb code PHP functions (internal or custom).

For example, if I assigned the PHP function rand() to a tag called [rand], it would generate a random value.

[rand="0"]100[/rand]

Would generate a random value from 0 - 100.

This looks great - could be used to resize an image right? And all sorts ....

Btw love that image at the top

Wow. So it is possibly to simulate dice with this (amongst many other things)?! That's pretty hardcore!

Although it wouldn't be too hard to do in photoshop, it's made through a German site called LetterJames, which allows you to add your own captions to signs, etc.

Yes, but at the moment there is a bug requiring you to use the WYSIWYG editor when posting, if you want a random generated value by the function to be hard-coded into that post (replaced with its bbcode tag). Otherwise, you could keep refreshing the page and a new random value would show.

could be used to resize an image right?

I imagine you could do something like that with this, by passing a image URL and using the GD2 library.

So..

If anyone has this installed and working, could you let me know? It's a sort of long (although quick) hack to install, so I just want to confirm everything is in place.

Wow, kickass hack. I won't install it just yet (trying to find a good file comparison program for Linux to upgrade to vB3 Gold - and I'm not digging myself into a bigger hole before I upgrade (31 modified files is enough for RC3, thank you very much) Well definately install it when I finally get vB3 Gold up and running.

/me clicks install anyways.

The following is a useful function I made that evaluates a mathematical expression.

Thank you, sir. Although I can't read ANY German, once you figure things out at that site, It's pretty impressive.
