Redirection Validator

This is a devcontainer for use in VSCODE (or similar).

This container contains a pretty old solution made in 2017 (I think) to validate A LOT of redirect mappings, which is especially useful when doing site migrations or moving content around.

Note: It works fine, but the sophistication/quality of code is not great. It also marks my last use of JQuery (if I have anything to say about that). It was hacked together very quickly for personal use and I wasn't aware of any of the reactive and very useful libraries I could have used as alternatives for JQuery.

I want to refactor the whole solution and hopefully make it into a Chrome Extension and/or a well-functioning bookmarklet. I did make a very rough bookmarklet, but it's ugly and a poor solution, so it needs to be reworked.

Anyway, I haven't changed the code for now and the only update really is to "wrap it" in a devcontainer and create a repository for it.

Here's a few tips:

• Exposed ports are:
  • 8000
• In the terminal, run php -S 0.0.0.0:8000 to start the app.
• OPCache has been disabled globally AND in the check.php script.

Try Out Development Containers: PHP

This is a sample project that lets you try out the VS Code Remote - Containers extension in a few easy steps.

Note: If you're following the quick start, you can jump to the Things to try section.

Setting up the development container

Follow these steps to open this sample in a container:

1. If this is your first time using a development container, please follow the getting started steps.

2. To use this repository, you can either open the repository in an isolated Docker volume:

   • Press F1 and select the Remote-Containers: Try a Sample... command.
   • Choose the "PHP" sample, wait for the container to start and try things out!

     Note: Under the hood, this will use Remote-Containers: Open Repository in Container... command to clone the source code in a Docker volume instead of the local filesystem.

   Or open a locally cloned copy of the code:

   • Clone this repository to your local filesystem.
   • Press F1 and select the Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container... command.
   • Select the cloned copy of this folder, wait for the container to start, and try things out!

Things to try

Once you have this sample opened in a container, you'll be able to work with it like you would locally.

Note: This container runs as a non-root user with sudo access by default. Comment out "remoteUser": "vscode" in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json if you'd prefer to run as root.

Some things to try:

1. Edit:
   • Open index.php
   • Try adding some code and check out the language features.
2. Terminal: Press ctrl+shift+` and type uname and other Linux commands from the terminal window.
3. Run and Debug:
   • Open index.php
   • Add a breakpoint (e.g. on line 4).
   • Press F5 to launch the app in the container.
   • Once the breakpoint is hit, try hovering over variables, examining locals, and more.
4. Running a server:
   • From the terminal, run php -S 0.0.0.0:8000
   • Press F1 and run the Forward a Port command.
   • Select port 8000.
   • Click "Open Browser" in the notification that appears to access the web app on this new port.
   • Look back at the terminal, and you should see the output from your site navigations
   • Edit the text on line 21 in index.php and refresh the page to see the changes immediately take affect
5. Attach debugger to the server:
   • Follow the previous steps to start up a PHP server and open a browser on port 8000
   • Press F1 and select the View: Show Debug command
   • Pick "Listen for XDebug" from the dropdown
   • Press F5 to attach the debugger
   • Add a breakpoint to index.php if you haven't already
   • Reload your browser window
   • Once the breakpoint is hit, try hovering over variables, examining locals, and more.
