Coding in Neopets New Features

[gingerew]

<?echo(ucwords(strrev(strtolower(str_rot13(implode(array_map

(function($a){return(ord($a)!=0x20)?chr(ord($a)-1):$a;},

str_split("\"moR fS{{OFuCfd MDDov"))))))));?>

 

So this is slightly old news, but on the New Features section for Techo Day, Sept 13th, I noticed this code. Since I know nothing at all about coding, I have absolutely no idea what this means! Or if it means anything at all for that matter. Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if anyone else had some insight on this and why TNT included it. Unless it was just a random mistake...

It's a PHP snippet.

 

Echo means "show" or "display" then it's referring to a bunch of functions that would take a string and do stuff with it. I'm 99% sure that it wasn't meant to be shown on the news page :P

I saw that too and was wondering the same thing :/ They could turn it into a clue for the next Lenny Conundrum haha

It actually means something! I thought it was a bug too.

 

Someone on Tumblr explained it: it means "Happy Programmer Day". :D

My boyfriend just informed me that Sept 13th was programmers day so maybe it had something to do with that?? Who knows! It probably was just a mistake.

 

Edit: His hunch was obviously right! Thanks dummydumpty for satisfying my curiosity :D

I was too lazy to lookup what the functions meant XD

Thanks for telling us :)

Haha I agree, I love TNT for stuff like that. It's the little things that make the difference!

Hahaha, that is AWESOME! I saw that too - it's pretty cool they snuck that in there!

Apparently according to the Editorial it was Mr. Insane's ramblings. :)
