PHP: str_word_counter does not count numerals

February 19, 2010 · Posted in PHP · Comment 

Realized that str_word_counter() does not count numerals (just numbers alone without alphabets) as a word.

The manual’s expression is:

mixed str_word_count ( string $string [, int $format = 0 [, string $charlist ]] )

If we supply “ab cd ef”, then the function returns 3, and if we supply “11 22 ab”, then it would be 1 since the function just ignores the numerals only value. The workaround (although it is not a bug or anything. It is a feature.) is to use the “$charlist”.

str_word_count ( string $string [, int $format = 0 , “0123456789” )

Then the numerals will be treated as letters.

Cygwin: nslookup/dig command error : “;; communications error: connection reset”

February 15, 2010 · Posted in Cygwin · Comment 

If you receive following error when execute nslookup or dig command:

;; communications error: connection reset

You have one option if it is for “dig” command. There are two options if it is for “nslookup” command.

For “dig” and “nslookup” command, setup /etc/resolv.conf

For  “nslookup”, the another solution is to use “/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/nslookup.exe” instead of “/bin/nslookup.exe” without creating a resolv.conf entries

Cygwin: How to setup tftpd

February 14, 2010 · Posted in Cygwin · Comment 

Make sure you have setup inetd already.

create a root directory for tftpd:

$ mkdir /tftpboot

Edit /etc/inetd.conf

(before)

#tftp  dgram   udp     wait    nobody  /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd

(after)

tftp  dgram   udp     wait    root  /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s -p /tftpboot

# If you changed the root directory for tftpd, then the above line needs to be modified accordingly.

Restart cygwin inetd service:

$ net stop inetd
$ net start inetd

Check if the tftpd is working

$ netstat -a | grep tftp
  UPD     MyServer:tftp           *:*

(You have to have administrative privileges.)

Make sure you have set system PATH to cygwin binary directory: “My Computer” (right click) –> “properties” –> “Advanced” tab –> “Environment Variables” button on the bottom right above the “OK” button.

Register your  cygwin inetd service to Windows’ service:

$ /usr/sbin/inetd --install-as-service

(The dollar sign above is a prompt)

Then start the inetd service:

$ net start inetd

or

$ cygrunsrv -S inetd
