	namespace BasicProxy
	{

camt / FormatStringBreaks

Created August 12, 2013 03:28

Break a string down into a paragraph based on last occurrence of a space. Set up to do this for webpage ("<br />"), however easy enough to replace the break with whatever is required for your needs. Not the most elegant, but it works happily.

	private string FormatStringBreaks(string data, int maxLength)
	{
	string res = "";
	while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(data))
	{
	var dLength = data.Length;
	if (dLength > maxLength)
	{
	var next = data.Substring(0, maxLength);
	var last = next.LastIndexOf(" ");

Calculate distance between coordinates

	function distance($lat1, $lon1, $lat2, $lon2, $unit) {
	$theta = $lon1 - $lon2;
	$dist = sin(deg2rad($lat1)) * sin(deg2rad($lat2)) + cos(deg2rad($lat1)) *
	cos(deg2rad($lat2)) * cos(deg2rad($theta));
	$dist = acos($dist);
	$dist = rad2deg($dist);
	$miles = $dist * 60 * 1.1515;

	$unit = strtoupper($unit);

camt / removeChars.php

Created January 31, 2012 00:21

Strip 'X' end characters from a string with PHP. This is faster for longer strings, as it does not need to count it's way to the end of the string first.

$string = strrev(substr(strrev($string), 2));
