More is Less - the 'math'

The alphabet has 26 characters. That's a lot more than 10 digits. If we also distinguish upper- and lowercase, and add digits to the bunch or the heck of it, we already have (26 x 2 + 10)?62 options?we can use?per position?in the ID.

Now of course we can also add additional funny characters to 'the bunch' like - / * & # but those may cause problems in URLs and that's our target audience for now.

OK so because there are roughly?6x more characters?we will use per position, IDs will get much?shorter. We can just fit a lot?more data in each position.

This is basically what url shortening services do like tinyurl, is.gd, or bit.ly. But similar IDs can also be found at youtube:?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzNjIBEdyww

Convert your IDs

Now unlike Database servers: webservers are easy to scale so you can let them do a bit of converting to ease the life of your users, while keeping your database fast with numbers (MySQL really likes them plain numbers ; ).

To do the conversion I've written a PHP function that can translate big numbers to short strings and vice versa. I call it: alphaID.

The resulting string is not hard to decipher, but it can be a very nice feature to make URLs or directorie structures more compact and significant.

So basically:

  • when someone requests rLHWfKd
  • alphaID() converts it to 999999999999
  • you lookup the record for id 999999999999 in your database

Example

Running:

alphaID<span style="color: #66cc66; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">(</span><span style="color: #cc66cc; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">9007199254740989</span><span style="color: #66cc66; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">)</span>;
Copy after login

will return 'PpQXn7COf' and:

alphaID<span style="color: #66cc66; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">(</span><span style="color: #ff0000; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">'PpQXn7COf'</span>, <span style="font-weight: 700; color: #000000; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">true</span><span style="color: #66cc66; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">)</span>;
Copy after login

will return '9007199254740989'

Easy right?

More features

  • There also is an optional third argument:?$pad_up. This enables you to make the resulting alphaId at least?X?characters long.
  • You can support even more characters (making the resulting alphaID even smaller) by adding characters to the?$index?var at the top of the function body.

Thanks to Even Simon, there's a JavaScript implementation. You will also find PHP version there, that implements the encode & decode functions as separate methods in a class.

Convert basic data types to strings using Java's String.valueOf() function Convert basic data types to strings using Java's String.valueOf() function Jul 24, 2023 pm 07:55 PM

Convert basic data types to strings using Java's String.valueOf() function In Java development, when we need to convert basic data types to strings, a common method is to use the valueOf() function of the String class. This function can accept parameters of basic data types and return the corresponding string representation. In this article, we will explore how to use the String.valueOf() function for basic data type conversions and provide some code examples to

Detailed explanation of the usage of return in C language Detailed explanation of the usage of return in C language Oct 07, 2023 am 10:58 AM

The usage of return in C language is: 1. For functions whose return value type is void, you can use the return statement to end the execution of the function early; 2. For functions whose return value type is not void, the function of the return statement is to end the execution of the function. The result is returned to the caller; 3. End the execution of the function early. Inside the function, we can use the return statement to end the execution of the function early, even if the function does not return a value.

How to convert char array to string How to convert char array to string Jun 09, 2023 am 10:04 AM

Method of converting char array to string: It can be achieved by assignment. Use {char a[]=" abc d\0efg ";string s=a;} syntax to let the char array directly assign a value to string, and execute the code to complete the conversion.

What does function mean? What does function mean? Aug 04, 2023 am 10:33 AM

Function means function. It is a reusable code block with specific functions. It is one of the basic components of a program. It can accept input parameters, perform specific operations, and return results. Its purpose is to encapsulate a reusable block of code. code to improve code reusability and maintainability.

What is the execution order of return and finally statements in Java? What is the execution order of return and finally statements in Java? Apr 25, 2023 pm 07:55 PM

Source code: publicclassReturnFinallyDemo{publicstaticvoidmain(String[]args){System.out.println(case1());}publicstaticintcase1(){intx;try{x=1;returnx;}finally{x=3;}}}#Output The output of the above code can simply conclude: return is executed before finally. Let's take a look at what happens at the bytecode level. The following intercepts part of the bytecode of the case1 method, and compares the source code to annotate the meaning of each instruction in

Use Java's String.replace() function to replace characters (strings) in a string Use Java's String.replace() function to replace characters (strings) in a string Jul 25, 2023 pm 05:16 PM

Replace characters (strings) in a string using Java's String.replace() function In Java, strings are immutable objects, which means that once a string object is created, its value cannot be modified. However, you may encounter situations where you need to replace certain characters or strings in a string. At this time, we can use the replace() method in Java's String class to implement string replacement. The replace() method of String class has two types:
