Quite often this is a slow process, however this class allows the search of the whole database to be limited by the datatypes. This drastically imporoves the search time by reducing the number of fields that need to be searched

Convert Fixed Width File To CSV
This class provides a quick and simple method of converting fixed width files into CSV. It makes use of the SplFileObject to do the iterations, making it very efficient as an iterator knows only the current member. Options are provided to specify the end of line character and field delimiter. This class is especially useful if data needs to come from a fixed width file, and inserted into a database, as most databases support the importation of data from CSV files.

PHP Recursive Array To XML With DOM
This class provides a method to recursively create XML from a PHP array. The functionality is provided by extending the built in Document Object Model (DOM) class. By extending the DOM class, all the functions within are available locally to the array2xml class. The main engine in this class is the createNode method, which is a recursive function that adds the child nodes to the parent root directory. The constructor takes two arguements, which are the name of the root node, and the default node_name which is applied to array elements that have a numeric index, as numeric XML tags are not permitted.

Rss Class
This class, as the name suggests, creates an RSS feed. The rss class extends the DOMDocument class that is built into PHP which enables direct access to all the functionality of the DOMElement extension. Each rss item is defined as an array and passed to the addItem method. Items include images and other elements which have sub types. The addItem method returns an instance of the class to enable method chaining as seen in the Example Usage. The rss class supports all elements from the RSS2 Specification and even includes images, skipDays, and skipHours which contain sub elements. Sub elements are simply passed as an array of values, and then added to the XML structure. The supported element names are held in a switch (see phpswitch.com) to ensure only valid RSS elements are provided, and also delegates what should happen to each valid element when declared. Invalid elements are quitly discarded as there can be no exceptions thrown when using __toString. The __toString method is provided to do away with the need for a seperate getRSS method so the object is echo\'ed directly in this example. However, it is recommended that when using this class, the output is written to a file and the file used as the point of access for rss feeds. This will save much overhead, particularly if the items are generated from a database result set.

May
Log Class
This class provides simple logging functionality but logging error messages to a log file. The name of the log file can be set if multiple log files need to be written for different scripts. This form of logging is a great debugging tool for those using ajax in their scripts as errors are often hidden. However, it is not just for error tracking, and can be used to record any type of events such as logins, forum posts, email sending or any place where a record needs to be maintained. The class makes use of the singleton design pattern so that the same instance of the logger class is always returned, and to provide a globally accessable method of logging.

PDO CRUD
The basics of CRUD are familiar to most PHP developers and the task of creating a factory, and a seperate class for each supported database is both time consuming and difficult to maintain. The PHP PDO toolkit provides a method of creating a CRUD class that will work across all supported databases. This example provides the basic CRUD implementation and can be built upon for further use.
