Comments on: Convert Dell service tags and express service tags with PHP http://www.wlscripting.com/tutorial/35 PHP coding tutorials Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:43:59 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9-beta-1 hourly 1 By: Rodrigo Balibrera http://www.wlscripting.com/tutorial/35/comment-page-1#comment-191284 Rodrigo Balibrera Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:20:08 +0000 http://www.wlscripting.com/tutorial/35#comment-191284 hey thanks, I was looking for code to do this, I work at Dell and I really needed it even though we got all the tools to find out the express code from service tag this is really helpfull to explain how it is built and also as an offline tool when the systems goes trough an outrage or update. i haven't test it yet, I normally use VB.NET, I know a little C So I can figure out the code, thnks. hey thanks, I was looking for code to do this, I work at Dell and I really needed it even though we got all the tools to find out the express code from service tag this is really helpfull to explain how it is built and also as an offline tool when the systems goes trough an outrage or update. i haven’t test it yet, I normally use VB.NET, I know a little C So I can figure out the code, thnks.

Your comments should make the code easier to understand and explain what you are trying to accomplish and why you did it this way. Mentioning that you are converting a 'Dell service tag' to a 'Dell express service tag' and vice versa would a good first.

I highly doubt you executed it in 30min. @Daniel Thank you @Johan: If your coding is on par with your typing or grammar. I highly doubt you executed it in 30min.

@Daniel
Thank you

Daniel, Thanks for the script. Thankful to have found it for a similar project, as I've yet to find the Dell program that I can download to get the S/T of a system, and Dell's Premier website seems to be less than fully functional more than once a week. Now, I can stop searching! Cheers, Ward Johan,

Daniel,

Thanks for the script. Thankful to have found it for a similar project, as I’ve yet to find the Dell program that I can download to get the S/T of a system, and Dell’s Premier website seems to be less than fully functional more than once a week. Now, I can stop searching!

Cheers,

It took me maybe 1 hour to figure things out. I should have thought to call Dell and ask for the conversion but did not. It took me maybe 1 hour to figure things out.

Prmier users from Dell can get several programs for free (depending your purpuse, some have a database with every service tag so they get a program to read the database and writes in a second field the express code, others have other needs). As IT & ICT experts we know that a is not equal to A! You said that you got the task to create some code etc.... I got the convertion algorith in a few seconds from Dell, writing the C program took me maybe 30 minutes from scratch till final release, I'm curious how much time you needed for your whole project?
