Thai election ID checking

The online service here aims to help people
check where they are to vote. However, it can be
used as ID certification as well.

# nnnn is the id to be checked
http://www.dopa.go.th/cgi-bin/inqelect.sh?pid=nnnn

Here I make it into a function call.

import urllib, re
def getname(id):
  url = 'http://www.dopa.go.th/cgi-bin/inqelect.sh?pid=' + str(id)
  src = urllib.urlopen(url).read()
  pat = '<H3> *(.*?) *<'
  name = re.findall(pat, src)[0]  # don't use other info
  return name

print getname(5100900050063)  # show a name (one of my relatives)

Using multiple tags on Code Snippets

I spent a lot of time trying to select snippets with
contain multiple tags. (series60 and sql)
There is no '+' links I can click anymore.
After about 10 minutes of trial and error, I find out how.
This also answer another question on correct use of URL.

# for tag 'series60' AND 'sql'
http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/tags/series60/sql/

# this doesn't work
http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/tag/series60/sql/

# all of these work (single tag case)
http://bigbold.com/snippets/tag/series60/
http://bigbold.com/snippets/tags/series60/
http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/tag/series60/
http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/tags/series60/

My conclusion is that.
For a single tag, use '/tag/...'.
For multiple tags, use '/tags/...'.
The first is quicker to type, while the second is flexible in case you want to filter further.

Canonical path

This function transforms an HTTP request path (ie, $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']) into its canonical form, removing empty path elements and relative path elements (//, /./, /../). It assumes that there is a trailing slash on the path if it's a directory.

function canonical_path($path) {
    $canonical = preg_replace('|/\.?(?=/)|','',$path);
    while (($collapsed = preg_replace('|/[^/]+/\.\./|','/',$canonical,1)) !== $canonical) {
        $canonical = $collapsed;
    }
    $canonical = preg_replace('|^/\.\./|','/',$canonical);
    return $canonical;
}
