+title: An Introduction Is In Order, This Is Me
+
+description: |
+  A post rescued from an old blog of mine from the Wayback Machine. I was 14 when I wrote this, so it's a bit cringy.
+  
+  This was my first ever blog post as 'me'.

+
+I’m not too good with introductions, but I’ll give it my best.
+
+I recently made this blog to share my knowledge with programming, and to bitch about my personal life.
+
+I feel I should warn you, I do not plan on enabling comments on any posts. I simply do not want to reply to low quality questions, or deal with any spam.
+
+I will try to post as much as I can, but no promises...
+
+I am quite savvy with PHP, HTML, JavaScript, and I’m learning a bit of Java and Pearl. Though Java looks really difficult, I may put that off a while.
+
+I am interested in games like Minecraft, Skyrim, and crazy Japanese games. My favourite game at the moment is LSD: Dream Emulator.
+
+I have had experiences as a Moderator on a large Minecraft server called "CityCraft" (citycraft.co.uk). I decided to leave because of the rude-mannered children that occupy the server. The only decent people that I could talk to were the other staff members.
+
+I’ll take this opportunity to say a bit about what I may be posting here. I plan to release code snippets, free downloads, and tutorials.

+title: Convert Images to ASCII With PHP

+  A post rescued from an old blog of mine from the Wayback Machine. I was 14 when I wrote this, so it's a bit cringy.
+
+  I'm not convinced I did this all by myself, probably bodging from across the internet - but yeah it's interesting.

+
+Some forums, bulletin boards, blogs, and other text platforms allow basic BBcode but are strict against images. With this simple PHP script, you can convert any JPG image to HTML (or BBcode) text.
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+function getext($filename) {
+  $pos = strrpos($filename,'.');
+  $str = substr($filename, $pos);
+  return $str;
+}
+
+$image = 'image.jpg';
+$ext = getext($image);
+if($ext == ".jpg"){
+  $img = imagecreatefromjpeg($image);
+}
+else{
+  echo'Wrong File Type';
+}
+
+$width = imagesx($img);
+$height = imagesy($img);
+
+for($h=0;$h<$height;$h++){
+  for($w=0;$w<=$width;$w++){
+    $rgb = imagecolorat($img, $w, $h);
+    $r = ($rgb >> 16) & 0xFF;
+    $g = ($rgb >> 8) & 0xFF;
+    $b = $rgb & 0xFF;
+    if($w == $width){
+      echo '<br>';
+    }else{
+      echo '<span style="color:rgb('.$r.','.$g.','.$b.');">#</span>';
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+?>
+```
+
+**NOTE**: Like all GD-based scripts, this needs a really decent server to adequately run without interference.

+description: |
+  A post rescued from an old blog of mine from the Wayback Machine. I was 14 when I wrote this, so it's a bit cringy.

+  I was still new to PHP and programming in general, so I believed that complex code was better code.

+This script gets the external file size of anything. This script is really good for forum systems, or anything with a limit of file size.
+
+Here:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+// NOTE FROM THE FUTURE:
+// > This code is actually insecure, do not use it -
+//    bonus points if you can find the vulnerabilities.
+// > It is kept here as a record of my progress as a programmer.
+
+$url = "https://mattcrook.io/favicon.ico"; // Put the URL you want to get the filesize of here
+
+function getRemoteFileSize($urll){
+  $parsed = parse_url($urll);
+  $host = $parsed["host"];
+  $fp = @fsockopen($host, 80, $errno, $errstr, 20);
+  if(!$fp){
+    return false;
+  }else{
+    @fputs($fp, "HEAD $urll HTTP/1.1\r\n");
+    @fputs($fp, "HOST: $host\r\n");
+    @fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
+    $headers = "";
+    while(!@feof($fp)){
+      $headers .= @fgets ($fp, 128);
+    }
+  }
+  @fclose ($fp);
+  $return = false;
+  $arr_headers = explode("\n", $headers);
+  foreach($arr_headers as $header){
+    $s = "Content-Length: ";
+    if(substr(strtolower ($header), 0, strlen($s)) == strtolower($s)) {
+      $return = trim(substr($header, strlen($s)));
+      break;
+    }
+  }
+  if($return){
+    $size = round($return / 1024, 2);
+    $sz = "KB";
+    if ($size > 1024) {
+      $size = round($size / 1024, 2);
+      $sz = "MB";
+    }
+    $return = "$size $sz";
+  }
+  return $return;
+}
+

+
+Hope this helps out :)

+Hi,
+
+This PHP script will overlay an image on an image. This is useful for photography galleries and blogs.
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+// NOTE FROM THE FUTURE:
+// > Working with files is risky business, it is best to make use
+//    of a service dedicated to this sort of thing.
+// > It is kept here as a record of my progress as a programmer.
+
+function add_watermark($image) {
+  $overlay = 'OVERLAY_IMAGE_HERE.png';
+
+  $w_offset = 0;
+  $h_offset = 0;
+
+  $extension = strtolower(substr($image, strrpos($image, ".") +1));
+
+  switch ($extension) {
+    case 'jpg':
+      $background = imagecreatefromjpeg($image);
+      break;
+    case 'jpeg':
+      $background = imagecreatefromjpeg($image);
+      break;
+    case 'png':
+      $background = imagecreatefrompng($image);
+      break;
+    default:
+      die("Image type not supported");
+  }
+
+  $base_width = imagesx($background);
+  $base_height = imagesy($background);
+  imagealphablending($background, true);
+
+  $overlay = imagecreatefrompng($overlay);
+
+  imagesettile($background, $overlay);
+
+  // Make the image repeat
+  imagefilledrectangle($background, 0, 0, $base_width, $base_height, IMG_COLOR_TILED);
+  header('Content-type: image/png');
+  imagepng($background);
+}
+
+echo add_watermark('IMAGE_FILE_HERE.png'); // Insert an image here.
+
+?>
+```
+
+**NOTE**: This script does not cache files. I may post a tutorial later about caching dynamic files.

+Today I have conjured a small php calculator script, coded in PHP. There are no limits, and I made sure its a little less hackable :)
+

+  if($action === 'plus'){
+    $result = $value1+$value2; // If the user selected an addition sum
+  }
+  else if($action === 'min'){

+  }
+  else if($action === 'delen'){
+    $result = $value1 / $value2; // If the user selected a division sum
+  }
+  else if($action === 'procent'){
+    $result = $value1 % $value2;  // Work with percentages
+  }
+}
+
+// Below is the HTML stuff, that the user will see.
