Run a job every first Sun of a month
I came across an interesting cron issue recently. The requirement was to run a job every _first_ Sunday at 12:00PM of each month.
After searching across various sites, skimming through cron manpages, I finally found the following one-liner
0 0 1-7 * 0 <user> <job>Can you believe this simple solution? The reasoning is that Sun will be between 1 to 7th of each month. Once a Sun comes, the job will execute between 1st and 7th just once. After that any further Sundays will have a date greater than 7, and thus never execute!
Sometimes, the simplest solution is the most elegant. BTW, I had read about many other complicated solutions, such as having your own logic to determine the day, apple script, bash script solutions. I was about to give up, when I hit the jackpot! 😀

PHP code obfuscation possible?
Today at my project, I was faced with a simple question from the client – How do you ensure that your PHP code is not tampered?
Honestly, I had no answer. 🙁
The only ray of hope I thought was – Since PHP is interpreted, is there some compressing, or obfuscating tool out there that can help me?
One possible solution I came across was encrypting your logic entirely so as unreadable to humans

Is this failsafe? Can it be still reverse engineered, and original source obtained to defeat the original purpose of protecting your code?
Anyone to help out there?
