I had a weird issue on a PHP script. I was returning an error 404 on a WordPress page the following way :

// At the beginning of a template page
global $wp_query;

  if ( $posts_query-&gt;post_count == 0 ) {
    $wp_query-&gt;set_404();
    status_header(404);
    get_template_part( 404 ); die();
  }

When I was accessing the error page on the browser, It worked well, I had a 404 error page displayed + the correct status code when I inspected the page (Network tab).

Extract characters after the last dash of a String RegExp

I wanted to extract characters after the last dash of a string. Regular expression are such a powerful tool to use in these cases. Here’s the one I needed for my problem :

(\w+)[^-]*$

Please note that with PHP, you need to use the preg_match method and surround the regexp with slashes.

preg_match ('/(\w+)[^-]*$/', 'cgo3020-red-xs', $results); // returns xs in $results[0]

Here’s a pretty convenient tool to test your regexp: https://regex101.com/

PHP / Magento - Direct SQL Queries

Not the cleanest but here’s a quick solution to do a direct query on Magento. Might be faster than calling Magento’s objects ?

/**
   * Get the resource model
   */
$resource = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource');
     
 /**
  * Acccess to the database in read only
  */
$readConnection = $resource-&gt;getConnection('core_read');
     
$query = 'SELECT * FROM ' . $resource-&gt;getTableName('catalog/product');
     
/**
 * Execute the query  
 */
$results = $readConnection-&gt;fetchAll($query);

Thank you DevProblems !
