Code Snippets (PHP / WordPress)

A few small slices of how I wire WordPress, data flows, and backend logic together.

<?php
$args = [
  'post_type'      => 'project',
  'posts_per_page' => 3,
  'meta_key'       => 'is_featured',
  'meta_value'     => '1',
];

$featured = new WP_Query( $args );

if ( $featured->have_posts() ) :
  while ( $featured->have_posts() ) : $featured->the_post();
    get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'project-card' );
  endwhile;
  wp_reset_postdata();
endif;
?>

<?php
function zs_increment_views( $key ) {
  $count = (int) get_option( $key, 0 );
  $count++;
  update_option( $key, $count );
  return $count;
}

// On a template:
$views = zs_increment_views( 'zs_home_views' );
echo 'Portfolio views: ' . number_format_i18n( $views );
?>

<?php
function zs_handle_portfolio_feedback() {
  check_admin_referer( 'zs_feedback' );

  $rating   = isset( $_POST['rating'] )
    ? sanitize_text_field( $_POST['rating'] )
    : '';
  $feedback = isset( $_POST['feedback'] )
    ? sanitize_textarea_field( $_POST['feedback'] )
    : '';

  $stored = get_option( 'zs_feedback', [] );
  if ( ! is_array( $stored ) ) {
    $stored = [];
  }

  $stored[] = [
    'time'       => current_time( 'mysql' ),
    'rating'     => $rating,
    'feedback'   => $feedback,
    'ip'         => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] ?? '',
    'user_agent' => $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ?? '',
  ];

  update_option( 'zs_feedback', $stored );
}
add_action( 'admin_post_nopriv_zs_feedback', 'zs_handle_portfolio_feedback' );
add_action( 'admin_post_zs_feedback',        'zs_handle_portfolio_feedback' );
?>

<?php
function zs_register_inventory_endpoint() {
  add_rewrite_rule(
    '^inventory-json/?$',
    'index.php?zs_inventory_json=1',
    'top'
  );
}
add_action( 'init', 'zs_register_inventory_endpoint' );

function zs_inventory_query_var( $vars ) {
  $vars[] = 'zs_inventory_json';
  return $vars;
}
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'zs_inventory_query_var' );

function zs_inventory_template_redirect() {
  if ( get_query_var( 'zs_inventory_json' ) ) {
    $data = zs_get_inventory_data(); // custom parser
    wp_send_json( $data );
  }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'zs_inventory_template_redirect' );
?>
