Can you imagine a world without “Open source PHP”? The answer would be certainly “no”; PHP has powered up the internet as a major open source program and has dominated the current market by providing cost effective solution. Companies prefer PHP than other software’s, the reason anyone can understand is “It’s Cheap” and more important is the return on investment is outstanding. The simple fact is that it delivers the goods at an affordable price. The rise in popularity of PHP has led to change of approach in web-publishing. While in the mid-1990s it was ok to build sites, even relatively large sites, with hundreds of individual hard-coded HTML pages, with the use of PHP today’s webmasters are making the most of the power of databases to manage their content more effectively and to personalize their sites according to individual user preferences .



What is PHP?


PHP is officially called as “Hypertext Preprocessor”. Way back during the invention of PHP it was called as “Personal Home Page Tools”. Rasmus Lerdorf released PHP on June 8, 1995 to accelerate bug location and improve the code. This release was named PHP version 2 and already had the basic functionality that PHP has today.

“PHP is an Open-source computer scripting language originally designed for producing web dynamic and interactive web pages”. PHP is considered as fastest and simplest tool to create web sites with dynamic behavior. Examples of dynamic behavior include writing data to databases, processing credit cards in real-time, and running interactive news and chat web sites. It is used mainly in server side scripting usually written in an HTML context, but can be used from a command line interface or in standalone graphical applications. 

PHP offers excellent connectivity coupled with many databases and web-servers, among them are MySQL “a relational database server”, Informix, Oracle, Sybase, Solid, PostgreSQL and Generic ODBC. The common combination between the PHP script and MySQL database is almost supported on every Linux-based web server. Together we can create everything from the simplest web site to a full blown business web site, an interactive web forum, or even an online role playing game. 


Reasons to use PHP?


As an open source product, users has an easy access to the source codes of the software where revision of the codes is permissible as long as the modified version is indicated to be modified by another user. Its scalability, both on the technical and business front made it ideal for the Internet. And, needless to say, if you're in the software development business yourself, PHP as open-source software lends itself perfectly to collaborative software development.

PHP can run on all the major operating systems with most servers. As PHP allows you to separate HTML code from scripted elements you will naturally notice the increased speed in development. In many instances use of PHP has enabled to separate the coding stage of a project from the design and build stages. PHP as a boon to developers has made their life easier by removing obstacles that stand in the way of effective and flexible design.

Open-source PHP applications has changed the world from managing databases, writing blogs to sending emails. The features of PHP have made it one of the most widely preferred web development languages. There are many extremely popular PHP script-based web pages, and also a large number of PHP-based web applications. Being an open-source product, PHP lies at the base of many popular free web applications, to name a few free web applications on PHP are phpMyAdmin , SquirrelMail , PHP-Nuke , eZ Publish , phpAdsNew , Gallery , Drupal , MediaWiki, SugarCRM , Symfony ,Joomla, WordPress, the phpBB forum, OsCommerce, Zend Framework , Magento eCommerce and many others. Lastly, PHP has changed the developer’s world at large, few of its applications has opened up communication avenues to people who may not have had them otherwise and has enabled far more businesses to operate and communities to grow around the world.

Looking To Download Full Movies Online? Here's How!

Posted by Admin Monday, March 15, 2010 3:17 AM 0 comments

I gotta tell you - I'm a massive movie fan.  For me there's nothing better than sitting down with some snacks and watching a movie.  Lately I've gotten numerous emails from visitors asking where they can go to download movies online, so I wanted to publish a quick article answering this question.

There's a lot of people who now download all of their movies.  The net has made it so that you don't necessarily have to head out to the store to grab the latest movie.

The selection of movie downloads online is fabulous.  You can choose from way more movies on the net than you can in a video store.  Whether it's an older movie or a new release, it's almost guaranteed that you can grab it online.

So How can you download movies online?

I think it's important to talk about where you shouldn't download movies.  You might have heard of file download websites like LimeWire or Kazaa.  Please stay away from these!  There's so many viruses on these sites and it's simple to get overloaded with spyware.  Additionally, when you search for movies it's easy to download broken files and you end up getting something altogether different than what you thought you were downloading.

Another problem is that the download speeds are extremely slow on these types of sites.  You can literally wait over 24 hours for a movie to finish downloading.  Obviously it's annoying to have to wait that long only to find out the movie isn't going to work!

Another choice is pay-per download movie websites.  At these sites you pay for each movie you download.  Each download is usually in the $10 range.  However, there are cheaper alternatives available so my suggestion is to stay away from these.

Your best bet is to join a website specializing in movie downloads.  At these websites you pay a one-time registration fee (about $45-$50) and you can then login and download whatever movie you choose.  These membership sites are dedicated to movie downloads and have an unbelievable selection of movies to select from.  It's definitely your best option as you can download as many movies as you want and you don't need to worry about sluggish download speeds or movies that are broken.

Finding movies online is a remarkable way to get the movies you want without ever needing to head out to the movie store.  It's less expensive, quicker and really addictive!

Here's How To Watch Live TV On Your Computer - It's Easy!
We have gotten a number of emails from people asking how they can watch television online.  Many people are watching their favorite shows on the internet so we decided to dig around and found out more about this alternative.

Watching TV on the net isn't completely new, but just recently it has increased greatly in popularity because of improvements in video quality and the amount of channels.  It wasn't long ago that the video and sound quality was really poor and there weren't all that many channels that you could watch.

Nowadays the technology is to the point where you can watch thousands of channels and view them all in outstanding quality.  It's spectacular the improvements that have occured and it's no surprise more people are turning their computers into media centers.

Let's discuss how you can watch TV online.

As you might have guessed, you will need to install a special internet TV software program on your computer.  There's a couple out there to choose from, so here's a couple of things you need to search for and pay attention to.

First off, ensure that you get a big selection of TV channels.  Obviously it's important to get the major networks ABC, CNN, Movie Channel, HBO etc) but you should also get a wide variety of specialty channels as well.  The best internet TV software programs will always let you watchover a thousand channels.

It's also nice to be able to schedule recordings of channels so that your computer records the shows you aren't able to view them live.  This isn't a widely available feature, but it is out there so shop around.  As well, you should have the ability to connect your computer to your TV set so that you can watch the feed right on your television set if you want to.

Lastly, look for a software program where you need only pay an initial one-time fee and where you aren't billed any fees each month.  When you compare it to a cable or satellite TV bill it's a tremendous deal to simply have to pay the once.  Avoid any software program that wants to charge you a monthly fee as you can get a better deal.

Watching live TV on the net is a fantastic way to catch your favorite shows.  The better internet TV programs will cost you about forty bucks for loads of channels which is an incredible deal.  It's also useful if you have a laptop since you can then watch TV even when you're on the road.  If you're a TV buff, it's worth considering!

Here's a Guide On How To Download Full Nintendo Wii Games Online
If you have a Wii at your place, then you already know how awesome of a system it is!  The Wii keeps selling and there's lots of new and exciting games that keep getting created.  Today we are going to let you know how you can get Nintendo Wii game downloads online and then use them on your system.

As you can imagine, the big benefit to using Wii downloads is that you won't have to fork over any cash for each new game you download.  You can save a ton of cash and you won't even have to leave your place each time you are going to grab a new game!

First off, we need to let you know that there are some websites out there that claim to offer free Nintendo Wii downloads if you install some type of software.  Please steer clear of these!  It's not wise to use these websites for a few reasons.

There's a big risk of getting a virus and you're almost doomed to get spyware installed on your system when you use these websites..  Combine that with slow download speeds and heaps of game files that don't even work and you can understand why it's not worth the trouble.  It's incredibly annoying having to wait for hours and hours for a game to download only to find out the game doesn't work or that you know have a virus.

Rather, you will want to join a Nintendo Wii game download membership site that is devoted to providing game downloads for your machine.  These internet sites are established professionally and provide unlimited game downloads to their members.

We should comment that you can also find other downloads at these sites.  You can download other media files such as music and TV shows that you can use on your Nintendo Wii.

The cost to join these internet sites is ordinarily around $50 or so.  When you think that it costs over that to buy just one game at a store, it's a great value.  You will only be billed the one time and can then download as many games as you want.  You just login and browse through the available games and download the ones you want.  They also provide all the programs you need to transfer the games onto your Wii.

When you start to use Wii game downloads you can save a lot of cash and it's the best way to grab all the latest games.  It's definitely of those things that once you start doing it, you can't stop!

Its!!!!!..................HIGH NOON........for whom Google or China....???

Posted by Admin Friday, January 22, 2010 9:20 AM 0 comments

Hong Kong, China (CNN) -- Now that the big guns have waded into the public standoff between Google and China, who will be the next to blink?
On Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton made a pointed speech on Internet freedom, while Chinese press have labeled the American search engine "White House's Google."
The tit-for-tat continued Friday, with China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs posting a statement slamming Clinton's speech as an inflammatory statement "that goes against truth and damages U.S.-Sino relations."
Speaking to reporters on a conference call Thursday, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said "in a reasonably short timeframe now, we will be making some changes" in China.
The public standoff between Google and China -- over censorship rules, the hacking of Chinese dissidents' Gmail accounts and a related cyberattacks on dozens of other U.S. companies -- has been unprecedented.
"The fact that multiple very large corporations indicated they had all been victims of this ... and many issued public statements and took a stand, that's not something we've seen before," said Eugene Spafford, a computer security specialist at Purdue University who has advised two U.S. presidents and numerous companies and government agencies.
"The most likely possibility is that Google will actually leave China and lose a few hundred million in revenue," says Haim Mendelson, a professor of electronic business at Stanford Graduate School of Business. "From Google's perspective, it better aligns what they say and what they do."
Another possibility, Mendelson believes, would be a compromise where Google would no longer be required to self-censor search items on the Web -- but China censors could still block controversial topic searches such as those onTibet dissidents or the outlawed Falun Gong spiritual group through routers and local Internet service providers.
"But I can't imagine there will be a compromise because of the impression that it will be yielding to pressure from Google, which is a sign of weakness," Mendelson said.
Both Google and the Chinese government appeared to take steps Thursday to ratchet down the rhetoric in the dispute.
"Our business in China is today unchanged. We continue to follow their laws. We continue to offer censored results," Schmidt said. "We've made a strong statement that we wish to remain in China."
"The Google case should not be linked with relations between the two governments and countries; otherwise, it's an over-interpretation," said He Yafei, China's vice foreign minister, at a press conference on Thursday.
Questions over the origins of the cyber attack -- and whether it was directed by the Chinese government -- are the most troubling of the case, Spafford said.

"Are they private citizens acting out of patriotism? Is it government operated? Or government tolerated?" Spafford said. "From Google's point of view, it could be argued the Chinese government isn't reining in their criminal element very well, even if they are living by the rules (in operating in China)."
