Edit the LocalSettings.php
add the notes:// protocol
where you find this line (add it as an array item)

$wgUrlProtocols = array( 'http://', 'https://', 'mailto:' ,'notes://');

The mt_rand() function is a drop-in replacement for rand().
It uses a random number generator with known characteristics using the Mersenne Twister from the php docs website

I somehow noticed php rand() has a pattern, So I dug up the php docs for a better rand function and end up discovering this neat random function

Use mt_rand()

<?php
echo mt_rand() . "\n";
echo mt_rand() . "\n";

echo mt_rand(5, 15);

?>

Output

1604716014

I was able to figure out how to run Simple_html_dom php library on codeigniter

Download the simple html dom library here simple html dom

I copied the file Simple_html_dom.php to

/system/libraries

Then in my controller I call it using

require_once(‘Simple_html_dom.php’);

To use it, I initialized it using this line

$html = new Simple_html_dom();

Load a page or link using the line

$html->load_file(‘http://www.google.com’);

and parse or find elements using this line

$html->find(‘table tr td’)->plaintext;

works fine and fits right to what I needed to do.

Visit google today and see an animated logo of a falling apple

Newton himself often told the story that he was inspired to formulate his theory of gravitation by watching the fall of an apple from a tree.
Cartoons have gone further to suggest the apple actually hit Newton’s head.

GRAVITY……… and there goes the apple
