PEPr Proposal [678]: Date and Time::Date_HumanDiff

2012-04-17T12:40:47-05:00

Proposed package: Date and Time::Date_HumanDiff

Proposer: Christian Weiske

Generate textual time differences that are easily understandable by humans.

The class supports minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years.

Some translations are provided, own ones can be supplied.

Examples:

- 5 seconds ago -> `just now`

- 65 seconds ago -> `a minute ago`

- 120 seconds ago -> `2 minutes ago`

- `a week ago`

- `3 weeks ago`

- `a month ago`

- `8 months ago`

- `a year ago`

- `5 years ago`

If those formats are not enough, you can define your own ones, e.g. for "< 10 seconds".

Usage



<?php



require_once 'Date/HumanDiff.php';

$dh = new Date_HumanDiff();

echo $dh->get(time() - 3600);//shows "an hour ago"

?>

Translations



<?php



require_once 'Date/HumanDiff.php';

$dh = new Date_HumanDiff();

$dh->setLanguage('de');

//alternatively, you may pass in a locale:

// $dh->setLanguage('de_AT');//falls back to the "de" language

echo $dh->get(time() - 60 * 5) . "\n"; //shows "vor 5 Minuten"

?>

PEPr Proposal [669]: Encode::Encode_Base58_GMP

2011-11-14T02:31:31-05:00

Proposed package: Encode::Encode_Base58_GMP

Proposer: John Wang

Base58-GMP-PHP

High speed Base58 encoding using GMP with BigInt support

Base58 is a compact, safe, and readable encoding that uses

alpha-numeric characters only (unlike Base64) and limits

the alphabet to easily readable characters, avoiding

[0OIl] (unlike Base62).

Base58 is used by Flickr and others for URL shortening.

This implementation uses the GNU Multiple Precision

Arithmetic Library (GMP) (http://gmplib.org/) for high

speed encoding and decoding.

A md5_base58 function is also provided for digest

generation

PEPr Proposal [662]: Science::Astronomy

2011-08-01T17:53:11-05:00

Proposed package: Science::Astronomy

Proposer: Alexander Wirtz

Hi all,

I'd like to start a package containing often looked after functions for calculating moon phases, moonrise, moonset, azimuths, local sidereal time, etc., which are used in astronomical context.

Currently I've started implementing some of these functions in my other package Services_Weather, but it has grown to a point, where breaking them off makes a lot of sense.

I just wanted to get a feeling, if this should be implemented yes or no, otherwise I continue implementing the bare necessities in Services_Weather.

Best,

Alexander

PEPr Proposal [660]: Version Control::VersionControl_Hg

2011-06-20T19:19:25-05:00

Proposed package: Version Control::VersionControl_Hg

Proposer: Michael Gatto

VersionControl_Hg is a PEAR PHP wrapper for the Mercurial version control system. The API interface is designed to be fluid with chainable methods:

include 'VersionControl/Hg.php';

$hg = new VersionControl_Hg('/path/to/repository');

$unformatted_text_log = $hg->log()->after('Dec 27, 2010')->excluding('**.xml')->format('raw')->run();

All mercurial commands are represented by a base method in this package:

hg log = $hg->log()->run();

However, there is not an exact 1-to-1 corresponence between Mercurial option names and chained helper methods. Instead, I have chosen to use full, semantic method names to make it clear how the option should modify the command. I have used Mercurial long-option names wherever they make sense, but modified them to better fit into the fluid interface.

The initial use case is to make a useful interface to Mercurial for Phing and other deployment & build systems. Eventually, I plan to support all Mercurial commands.

A Mercurial installation is required. Either the stock CLI client or TortoiseHg, which includes the CLI client. VersionControl_Hg is smart enough to search the Path to find a viable Mercurial executable. Platform independence is a primary design goal.

Code, build script, and documentation is available at: https://bitbucket.org/mgatto/versioncontrol_hg/overview

PEPr Proposal [659]: System::MultiThreading

Proposer: Dmitry Belyaev

PEPr Proposal [656]: Web Services::Services_Twilio

2011-03-07T23:58:54-05:00

Proposed package: Web Services::Services_Twilio

Proposer: Neuman Vong

An SDK (or helper library, as we're calling them) for PHP developers to negotiate with Twilio's REST API and generate TwiML responses.

To use, developers will need to sign up for a Twilio account and retrieve ID/Token pair, which can then be used to issue HTTP requests to the Twilio API.
