Convert Time String (HH:MM:SS) To Seconds
Sometimes it is necessary to find the amount of seconds in a time string for use in equations. Below are PHP and Python functions to do this. These functions work by splitting the time string by ‘:’, then calculating 60 to the power of the split time count minus 1 (allowing for MM:SS format and…

PHP Levenshtein distance
Below is my implementation of Levenshtein distance in PHP. This is useful to determine the distance between two latitude & longitude pairs. {{{ lang=php line=1 $lat1 = deg2rad($location1->lat); $lng1 = deg2rad($location1->lng); $lat2 = deg2rad($location2->lat); $lng2 = deg2rad($location2->lng); $theta = $location1->lng – $location2->lng; $dist = sin($lat1) * sin($lat2) + cos($lat1) * cos($lat2) * cos(deg2rad($theta)); $dist =…
