Thanks for confirming that. Being a pensioner, your first option is the way i will go.

I want to convert a program from what I think is Ruby to PHP as I have no knowledge of Ruby. Could someone confirm if the posted code is Ruby please and if there are any known methods to help with a conversion. Is it possible to run Ruby code within PHP? The background to this request is that I have a 3 axis accelerometer and would like to construct a pedometer. I have the data logged to a file but coding the pedometer is a challenge. I found the following ,A Pedometer in the Real World Dessy Daskalov' which does what I want but I dont follow the code. For those interested a link to the article:-http://www.aosabook.org/en/500L/a-pedometer-in-the-real-world.html Any guidance appreciated and I hope this is the right forum. class Parser attr_reader :parsed_data def self.run(data) parser = Parser.new(data) parser.parse parser end def initialize(data) @data = data end def parse @parsed_data = @data.to_s.split(';').map { |x| x.split('|') } .map { |x| x.map { |x| x.split(',').map(&:to_f) } } unless @parsed_data.map { |x| x.map(&:length).uniq }.uniq == [[3]] raise 'Bad Input. Ensure data is properly formatted.' end if @parsed_data.first.count == 1 filtered_accl = @parsed_data.map(&:flatten).transpose.map do |total_accl| grav = Filter.low_0_hz(total_accl) user = total_accl.zip(grav).map { |a, b| a - b } [user, grav] end @parsed_data = @parsed_data.length.times.map do |i| user = filtered_accl.map(&:first).map { |elem| elem[i] } grav = filtered_accl.map(&:last).map { |elem| elem[i] } [user, grav] end end end end

Thank you very much. Will do.

I want to modify a script that send SMS and I am using a switch statement to send different messages dependent on a condition. The original script works fine but no message is sent with my modified script. I wonder if some part is out of scope? Switch SMS.php

Hi, Thanks for that. I would like to implement the the logic in PHP and I agree that I should try it myself. Thanks

Hi, I am new to JS but OK in PHP. I would like to use JS code similar to this' http://www.geocachingtoolbox.com/index.php?page=dancingMen' a php program. My problem is understanding how this works. I have posted what seem to be the two key functions and my first attempt to simplify things as well as the link the above link in the hope somebody can get my thinking working in the right direction particularly in understanding the two functions. Many thanks for a starter for ten, <script type="text/javascript"> var validChars= new Array('a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z') var validNums= new Array('0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9'); function textToIm(){ chars=document.getElementById('dancingMenText').value; splitChars=chars.split(''); newDiv=''; for(i=0; i<splitChars.length; i++){ lowerChar=splitChars[i].toLowerCase(); if (validChars.indexOf(lowerChar)>-1){ if (i+1==splitChars.length || splitChars[i+1]==' ' || splitChars[i+1]=='\n'){ newDiv+='<img src="pages/dancingMen/'+lowerChar+'v.gif" alt="'+splitChars[i]+'" title="'+splitChars[i]+'">'; }else{ newDiv+='<img src="pages/dancingMen/'+lowerChar+'.gif" alt="'+splitChars[i]+'" title="'+splitChars[i]+'">'; } }else if (validNums.indexOf(lowerChar)>-1){ newDiv+='<img src="pages/dancingMen/'+lowerChar+'.gif" alt="'+splitChars[i]+'" title="'+splitChars[i]+'">'; }else if (lowerChar!=' '){ newDiv+=splitChars[i]; } } newDiv = newDiv.replace(/\n\r?/g, '<br>'); if (chars.length==0){ newDiv=''; } document.getElementById('dancingMenDiv').innerHTML=newDiv; } function imToText(char,space){ if (space==1){ document.getElementById('dancingMenDiv').innerHTML+='<img src="pages/dancingMen/'+char+'v.gif" alt="'+char+'" title="'+char+'">'; document.getElementById('dancingMenText').value+=char+' '; }else{ document.getElementById('dancingMenDiv').innerHTML+='<img src="pages/dancingMen/'+char+'.gif" alt="'+char+'" title="'+char+'">'; document.getElementById('dancingMenText').value+=char; } } </script> index.php

Right. Thank you
