I found this few lines of PHP script useful to sanitize user input, it removes characters except numbers and letters:

$clean_code = preg_replace('/[^\w]/', '', $string);

Or this one:

$clean_code = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/', '', $string);

Let’s say we have a website like somewebsite.com and there is an input form, but we don’t want to submit that form from that website, instead we send POST request to that page from another website. Here is a handy PHP script to do so:

<?php

$url = 'https://somewebsite.com/';
$data = array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'vaue2');

$options = array(
    'http' => array(
        'header'  => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
        'method'  => 'POST',
        'content' => http_build_query($data)
    )
);
$context  = stream_context_create($options);
$result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
if ($result === FALSE) { /* Handle error */ }

var_dump($result);

?>

I have a tons of files in a directory that has underscore in their names, and I need to rename them by replacing underscore to dash.

I wrote this script in PHP and it worked!

By default if we generate a QR Code of short text or string, we will get a small QR Code image approximately less than 100 pixels. But we can multiply by any number we like.
