I’d like to share a php code that you can use for bing translator api. Just add your bing api id into “AppID= ” part.

<?php

echo translate(’Hello World’, ‘en’, ‘fr’);

function translate($text, $from, $to) {

$data = file_get_contents(’http://api.bing.net/json.aspx?AppId=YoutApiIDHere&Sources=Translation&Version=2.2&Translation.SourceLanguage=’ . $from . ‘&Translation.TargetLanguage=’ . $to . ‘&Query=’ . urlencode($text));

$translated = json_decode($data);

if (sizeof($translated) > 0) {

if (isset($translated->SearchResponse->Translation->Results[0]->TranslatedTerm)) {

return $translated->SearchResponse->Translation->Results[0]->TranslatedTerm;

} else {

return false;

}

} else {

return false;

}

}

?>

Another usefull php function. It removes a folder with the content inside.

//function
function delTree($dir) {
    $files = glob( $dir . ‘*’, GLOB_MARK );
    foreach( $files as $file ){
        if( substr( $file, -1 ) == ‘/’ )
            delTree( $file );
        else
            unlink( $file );
    }
    rmdir( $dir );

}

//usage
delTree(’FolrderName’);

I’ve began to use this usefull function against sql injection and cleaning other bad characters before inserting data into database.

//function

function clean($str) {
  $str = @trim($str);
  if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
   $str = stripslashes($str);
  }
  return mysql_real_escape_string($str);
 }

// usage:
clean($_POST["data"]);

hope it helps.
