View Counter

I wanted a view counter for my site that displayed as nixie tubes, but I couldn't find any that worked without javascript. I adapted this php script, and wrote a loop to print nixie tube digits that I found and cropped from here. I also print the view count in the footer, and that's what I have increment the count.

// path of view count file
$path = 'XXX';

// Opens countlog.txt to read the number of hits.
$file  = fopen( $path, 'r' );
$count = fgets( $file, 1000 );
fclose( $file );

// Update the count.
$count = abs( intval( $count ) ) + 1;

// Opens countlog.txt to change new hit number.
$file = fopen( $path, 'w' );
fwrite( $file, $count );
fclose( $file );

// format number
$fcount = number_format($count);

// convert hits to array
$numbers = str_split($count);

// increment through array, print numbers to page as nixie tube pictures
$i = 0;
while ($i < sizeof($numbers)){
// print first line with alt text for screen readers/text browsers
if($i==0){
echo '<img class="nixie" title="Site viewed '.$fcount.' times." alt="Site viewed '.$fcount.' times." src="/img/numbers/'.$numbers[$i].'.gif"//>';
} else {
echo '<img class="nixie" title="Site viewed '.$fcount.' times." alt="" src="/img/numbers/'.$numbers[$i].'.gif"//>';
}
$i++;
}
Site viewed 110,672 times.

Snow

I set up a PHP script to query Open Weather Map and adjust the theme of this site based on local weather. It caches the results to a file, and tracks how long it has been since it last snowed.

// check recent snow flag
$snowedrecently = 0;
if (time()-filemtime($path3) < 7 * 24 * 3600) {$snowedrecently = 1;}

// check age of file, poll weather api if stale
if (time()-filemtime($path) > 4 * 3600) {

    // openweathermap api key and cityid
    $apiKey = "XXX";
    $cityId = "XXX";

    // get current weather
    $apiUrl = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?id=".$cityId."&lang=en&units=metric&APPID=".$apiKey;
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $apiUrl);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

    // cache response to file
    $file = fopen( $path, 'w' );
    fwrite( $file, $response );
    fclose( $file );

    // pull location from response
    $data = json_decode($response);
    $lat = ucwords($data->coord->lat);
    $lon = ucwords($data->coord->lon);

    // get weather forecast
    $apiUrl = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?lat=".$lat."&lon=".$lon."&APPID=" . $apiKey;
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $apiUrl);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    $response2 = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

    // cache forecast to file
    $file = fopen( $path2, 'w' );
    fwrite( $file, $response2 );
    fclose( $file );

} else {
    // read cached api response
    $response = file_get_contents("$path");
    $response2 = file_get_contents("$path2");
}

// pull weather data from response
$data = json_decode($response);
$data2 = json_decode($response2);
$currentTime = time();
$weather = ucwords($data->weather[0]->main);
$weatherdetails = ucwords($data->weather[0]->description);
$weatherdaily = ucwords($data2->daily[0]->weather[0]->main);

// set recent snow flag
if((strpos($weather, 'Snow') !== false) or (strpos($weatherdaily, 'Snow') !== false)){
    $file = fopen( $path3, 'w' );
    fwrite( $file, $response );
    fclose( $file );
}

$lastsnowday = date("m-d", filemtime($path3));

$month=date("n");
$day=date("d");

$snowing = ((strpos($weather, 'Snow') !== false) or (strpos($weatherdaily, 'Snow') !== false) or ($month==12 && $day > 20) or ($snowedrecently == 1)) && (strpos($weather, 'Rain') == false);
The snow theme active on the recipes page.

Banners

I also set up PHP scripts to randomize banners on this site. Some of the banners were found on old sites using the Internet Archive, some are from The 88x31 GIF Collection, Slackware Propaganda, and some I made myself. Each banner has the location of the image, the site that it links to, the alt text/hover title, and a spot for CSS classes for custom mouse cursors/formatting.
