Software Blog

I’ve taken the Logic High Software portion of this blog in house so that I can access some of the better features of wordpress.org

All the old posts will remain here, but new posts will be made at http://software.logichigh.com

See you around!

Fix a string in PHP for use in Unix Filenames

Language: PHP

Problem: You are trying to use a string as or in a UNIX filename (for instance, passing a filename to a command within the exec() function) and addslashes() falls short because it doesn’t include spaces or ampersands.
Solution: It’s rough but it works fine.  Run your strings through this function first, and don’t use surrounding quotation marks (no need).  If you’ve got a better one or have questions, leave a comment

function makeUnixFilename($string)
 {
 return str_replace("&",'\&',str_replace(" ",'\ ',addslashes($string)));
 }

Which Logo is best?

I’m forming a Corporation with a few partners in Hawaii, and kind of torn on logo design.  What do you think?

XHunt Progress Report

Well, I’m finally done with the US Navy, and the vacation has worn off, have begun work in earnest towards X-Hunt, and the design and functionality is turning out MUCH better then I had envisioned.  This is going to be a killer application.  Launch is taking longer then expected because we want to launch a really professional product, but currently hoping to have beta or final version out in the next 3 weeks.  Below is a screenshot from the XHunt search page.

Partnership

I’m excited to announce a business partnership between Logic High Software and Top Level Communications of Honolulu, this relationship will bring high quality user interface and graphics design to all of our iPhone projects and well help ensure that the user experience is up to the level Apple customers have come to expect.
