Recently, we had a situation that required us to pull in some content from one server to another using an iframe. Generally, this is something we would try to avoid, but we needed to pull some data from a new .NET application into a legacy ColdFusion application.
Unfortunately, the height of the page being pulled in would vary wildly. This led to a fairly disappointing experience where the page was either far too long, or content in the iframe was cut off and the user had to scroll within the iframe to see everything.
We came up with what we thought might be an interesting solution. If the page loading inside of the iframe (the child page) could calculate its height, and somehow let the parent page know, the parent page should be able to reset the height of the iframe.
With a little inspiration, we came up with a pretty neat solution that we’d like to share. Our solution requires that you have the ability to edit the code of both the parent and child pages.
The child page being loaded into the iframe will simply reset the location of the parent page, and include a hash with the height of itself.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.1/jquery.js"></script>
<script>
var parentUrl = "http://kingston/other/test/iframe-outside.html";
setHash = function() {
parent.location = parentUrl + "#" + $('body').height();
}();
</script>
We’re using jQuery here to easily get the height of the <body> tag.
On the parent page that includes the iframe, we’ll again use jQuery and write a small function that gets the height from the hash in the URL, and uses that to reset the height of the iframe.
function setHeight() {
var newHeight = parseInt(location.hash.substring(1)) + 50;
$('#hashFrame').attr('height', newHeight);
}
We ran into a bit of an issue: the page we were loading was taking a few seconds to load, and we didn’t want to set our height on the iframe until the content within the iframe had finished loading (and it had a chance to set the proper height to the url hash).
More jQuery to the rescue! The jQuery .load() method allowed us to call our setHeight() function after the iframe had finished loading.
$('#hashFrame').load( function() {
setHeight();
});
Putting it all together gave us a great way to use our new application inside our legacy application, and make it faily seamless to the end user.
gunzip 'Joomla_1.5.10-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz'
tar -xvf 'Joomla_1.5.10-Stable-Full_Package.tar'
gunzip will uncompress the Gzip archive. This will leave you with the Tar achive: Joomla_1.5.10-Stable-Full_Package.tar.
You want to uncompress this too so so you use tar -xvf.
Regarding -xvf: x if for extract, v is for verbose, and f is for file
Now joomla is ready to Install.
Finally I successfully installed JDMConcept in less than an hour.
I found out later some more methods to install Joomla easily to the server.
Hope it has help you for your Joomla Project.
Simplicity and extensibility are the main reasons why PHP became the favourite dynamic language of the Web. In the last decade, PHP has developed from a niche language for adding dynamic functionality to small websites to a powerful tool making strong inroads into large-scale Web systems.
Below I present 30 useful PHP classes and components that you can use to test, develop, debug and deploy your PHP applications. Let me know if I missed anything or if you have something to add.
Creole is a database abstraction layer for PHP5. It abstracts PHP’s native db-specific API to create more portable code while also providing developers with a clean fully object-oriented interface based loosely on the API for Java’s JDBC. Creole was originally created as a sub-project of Propel to meet specific needs that none of the available abstraction layers were able to address in any satisfactory way.
LINQ is a component that adds native data querying capabilities to PHP using a syntax reminiscent of SQL. It defines a set of query operators that can be used to query, project and filter data in arrays, enumerable classes, XML, relational database, and third party data sources.
ADOdb Database Abstraction Library for PHP. It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Interbase/Firebird, Informix, Sybase SQL Anywhere, Oracle, MS SQL 7 and 2000, SAP DB, Sybase, DB2, FrontBase, Foxpro, Access, Netezza, LDAP, ODBTP, ADO, and generic ODBC. It also features portable database creation, database-backed session support (with encryption), SQL performance monitoring and database health checks.
Propel is an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) framework for PHP5. It allows you to access your database using a set of objects, providing a simple API for storing and retrieving data.
Doctrine is a tool for object-relational mapping in PHP. It sits on top of PDO and is itself divided into two main layers, The DBAL and the ORM. The Doctrine ORM is mainly build around the ActiveRecord, Data Mapper and Metadata Mapping patterns.
PHPillow is an object orientated wrapper for CouchDB.
phpDocumentor is the current standard auto-documentation tool for the php language. Similar to Javadoc, and written in php, phpDocumentor can be used from the command line or a web interface to create professional documentation from php source code. phpDocumentor has support for linking between documentation, incorporating user level documents like tutorials and creation of highlighted source code with cross referencing to php general documentation.
HTML Purifier is a standards-compliant HTML filter library written in PHP. HTML Purifier will not only remove all malicious code (better known as XSS) with a thoroughly audited, secure yet permissive whitelist, it will also make sure your documents are standards compliant, something only achievable with a comprehensive knowledge of W3C’s specifications.
PHP CodeSniffer is a PHP5 script that tokenises and “sniffs” PHP code to detect violations of a defined set of coding standards. It is an essential development tool that ensures that your code remains clean and consistent. It can even help prevent some common semantic errors made by developers.
GeSHi is a generic syntax highlighter for PHP that takes any source code and highlights it in XHTML and CSS. It features case-sensitive or insensitive highlighting, auto-caps/non-caps of any keyword, an unlimited scope for styling, the use of CSS in which almost any aspect of the source can be highlighted, the use of CSS classes to massively reduce the amount of output code, function-to-URL capabilities, line numbering, and much more.
To make code testing viable, good tool support is needed. This is where PHPUnit comes into play. It is a member of the xUnit family of testing frameworks and provides both a framework that makes the writing of tests easy as well as the functionality to easily run the tests and analyse their results.
Unit testing, mock objects and web testing framework for PHP built around test cases. If you know JUnit/JMock or some of the PHPUnit clones this will need no explanation. Includes a native web browser for testing web sites directly.
PHPSpec allows you to write executable examples reflecting specifications of the desired behaviour of the source code being described. You can write code examples which are repeatable, this means you write an example and may repeat it as often as you wish to ensure the implementation code it relates to continues to abide by the example.
During both the development and deployment phases, developers require a consistent stream of diagnostic information in order to determine whether the application is working as intended. The functionality of the PHP Debug component can be used to write debug messages and measure the execution time.
dBug is the PHP version of ColdFusion’s cfdump. It outputs coloured and structured tabular variable information and has the ability to force certain types of output.
Phing it’s a project build system based on Apache Ant. You can do anything with it that you could do with a traditional build system like GNU make, and its use of simple XML build files and extensible PHP task classes make it an easy-to-use and highly flexible build framework.
Xinc is a continuous integration server written in PHP 5. It has built-in support for Subversion and Phing (and therefore PHPUnit), and can be easily extended to work with alternative version control or build tools.
Securimage is an open-source free PHP CAPTCHA library for generating complex images and CAPTCHA codes to protect forms from spam and abuse. It can be easily added into existing forms on your website to provide protection from spam bots. It can run on most any web server as long as you have PHP installed, and GD support within PHP.
Scavenger is an open source real-time vulnerability management tool. It helps you respond to vulnerability findings, track vulnerability findings, review accepted or false-positive answered vulnerabilities, and not ‘nag’ you with old vulnerabilities.
PHP Security Scanner is a tool written in PHP intended to search PHP code for vulnerabilities. MySQL DB stores patterns to search for as well as the results from the search. The tool can scan any directory on the file system.
PHPIDS (PHP-Intrusion Detection System) is a simple to use, well structured, fast and state-of-the-art security layer for your PHP based web application. The IDS neither strips, sanitizes nor filters any malicious input, it simply recognizes when an attacker tries to break your site and reacts in exactly the way you want it to.
phpGACL is an set of functions that allows you to apply access control to arbitrary objects (web pages, databases, etc) by other arbitrary objects (users, remote hosts, etc). It offers fine-grained access control with simple management, and is very fast.
SimplePie is a very fast and easy-to-use class, written in PHP, that puts the “simple” back into “really simple syndication”. Flexible enough to suit beginners and veterans alike, SimplePie is focused on speed, ease of use, compatibility and standards compliance.
This package can be used to generate feeds in either RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0 or Atom formats.
WideImage is an object-oriented library for image manipulation, written in PHP 5. It’s a pure-PHP library and doesn’t require any external libraries apart from the GD2 extension.
pChart is a PHP class oriented framework designed to create aliased charts. Most of todays chart libraries have a cost, our project is intended to be free. Data can be retrieved from SQL queries, CSV files, or manually provided. Focus has been put on rendering quality introducing an aliasing algorithm to draw eye candy graphics.
JpGraph can be used to create numerous types of graphs either on-line or written to a file. JpGraph makes it easy to draw both “quick and dirty” graphs with a minimum of code as well as complex graphs which requires a very fine grained control. The library assigns context sensitive default values for most of the parameters which minimizes the learning curve.
The Google Chart API returns a PNG-format image in response to a URL. Several types of image can be generated: line, bar, and pie charts for example. For each image type you can specify attributes such as size, colors, and labels.
PHP/SWF Charts is a simple, yet powerful PHP tool to create attractive web charts and graphs from dynamic data. Use PHP scripts to generate or gather the data from databases, then pass it to this tool to generate Flash (swf) charts and graphs.
This is an object oriented library for live-manipulating Open Flash Chart.
Savant is a powerful but lightweight object-oriented template system for PHP. Unlike other template systems, Savant by default does not compile your templates into PHP; instead, it uses PHP itself as its template language so you don’t need to learn a new markup system. Savant has an object-oriented system of template plugins and output filters so you can add to its behaviour quickly and easily.
Smarty is a template engine for PHP. More specifically, it facilitates a manageable way to separate application logic and content from its presentation. One of the unique aspects about Smarty is the template compiling. This means Smarty reads the template files and creates PHP scripts from them. Once they are created, they are executed from then on. Therefore there is no costly template file parsing for each request.
PHPTAL is a templating engine for PHP5 that implements brilliant Zope Page Templates syntax. PHPTAL is fast thanks to compiled templates and fine-grained caching. Makes it easy to generate well-formed XML/XHTML.
TCPDF is a PHP class for generating PDF documents without requiring external extensions. TCPDF supports all ISO page formats and custom page formats, custom margins and units of measure, UTF-8 Unicode, RTL languages, some HTML code, barcodes, TrueTypeUnicode, TrueType, Type1 and encoding, JPEG, GIF and PNG images, graphic functions, bookmarks, JavaScript, forms, page compression, and encryption.
Create Excel documents in PHP. This component provides a set of classes for the PHP programming language, which allow you to write to Excel 2007 files and read from Excel 2007 files. This project is built around Microsoft’s OpenXML standard and PHP.
I installed Drupal 6 on my Laptop. It has Vista SP1 and IIS 7. Installation was very simple and smooth. I was smiling thinking it easy. I tried adding Users but it was not registering. I tried creating Blocks again in vain. I copied it to my apache server and It worked fine. I had absolutely no idea what was happening but at least I know its IIS7 issues. I Google for the solutions and found out that FAST CGI module in IIS7 sets the REQUEST_URI server variable incorrectly. Microsoft has released an update to fix this bug (KB 954946).
I installed it and now it’s running well. I also installed Microsoft URL Rewrite Module for IIS 7.0 (x86), which allows .htaccess to work correctly. I found the following sites useful. Check em:
I have been searching for the ultimate PHP Framework that suits my style. Thats easy, lean learning curve, supports OOP, MVC, modules, multi DB and templates.
I have downloaded the following PHP Frameworks:
Akelos, CakePHP, PRADO, Symfony, Zend, ZooP, CodeIgniter, Seagull, PHPDevShell
I have started reviewing PRADO. I will review each soon and will publish the result.

Nobody could ever find love
It is love that looks after us.
And if it finds us
There's no way to escape.
It doesn't choose nor
Force someone to love
Love is indeed a destiny.
Many says love comes,
Love goes.
Others tell that love has its own time
Of knocking at your door.
Yet love finds a way
To tell you it is right,
For love is truly a destiny.
AND
DESTINY AND LOVE
It is not DESTINY that determines “LOVE.”
It is a “CHOICE.”
Our so-called DESTINY is a lie. . .
Relationships last long not because they are destined to last long.
Relationships last long because two brave people made a “choice” . . .to keep it,
to fight for it, and to work for it. Meanwhile, other relationships fail,
not because they are destined to fail.
They failed because one of the two or both made a choice. . .to set each other “FREE.”
We do not choose “Love”. It is Love who chooses us. We cannot hide from Love or escape from it.
If we are destined to love, it will happen no matter what.
The results can be happy or sad depending on how we treat “Love”.
Depending on our choices..
And when you love someone, it’s better to lose your pride to someone you love,
than to lose your love because of your nonsense pride………
