Legend Never Dies

Ronnie James Dio, the frontman of heavy metal bands Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio and Heaven and Hell, has passed away from his battle with stomach cancer. He was 67.

Rumors of Dio's death began circulating online Saturday. His wife, Wendy Dio, took to Twitter Saturday night to tell fans, "He is not doing well, but he is not dead." But Sunday morning at 7:45AM, she confirmed that he had passed away.

A message on Dio's official website reads, "Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us. Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever."

A common problem of including external files to your PHP script

Hi coders, I want to share a common phenomena with you about including an external file to your script. It could happen that there is an external file in your server which is named a.php (for example) and you have included it in another file called b.php. You also have permissions. But the file is not including to your mother script.

This is sometimes a common problem for many of you. The reason behind this is, there is a term called "allow_url_fopen" in php.ini. If your server configuration unintentionally (or i should say intentionally) turn off this property, then this will lead the problem.

But you can thankfully turn on this property with the help of the ini_set() function in php. The syntax to turn on the "allow_url_fopen" is: ini_set("allow_url_fopen", "On"); In this way, you can set the value for this property and this will solve your problem of including the file in your script.

IPad to hit US stores April 3, hoping when it will come to BD markets :)

A BIT LATER THAN EXPECTED

The US launch date for the iPad model with short-range Wi-Fi wireless links, starting at a price tag of $499, is slightly later than the previously expected late March launch. Customers looking for versions of the iPad with third-generation (3G) high-speed cellular data links will have to wait until late April, said Apple. Just wondering when it will come to the South Asian Markets. Cant wait to see it on action. Researchers believe that,  after the release in US market, Apple is also going to ship iPad to another 9 European markets.

Two most common and important aspects of OOP: Abstract Class and Interface

Sometime in interviews, many of you may have faced the term of OOP(Object Oriented Programming) called Abstract Class and Interface. These two are very common yet powerful issues of object oriented programming language. I am going to talk about some common aspects that we need to take care of while using abstract class and interface. Also i will discuss when to use abstract class and when to use interface. So i hope after reading this article, you will get a clear idea of using both these two trends of OOP.

I assume that you already have knowledge on class, object and inheritance. If not, then i strongly suggest you can go to: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/concepts/ and read this thoroughly.

How to get and set the values of php.ini files through your php script

As we know that every php installation contains a configuration file named php.ini. This file contains all the required values that is needed to run and execute your php script. It sometimes happen that the configuration file that resides in the server(could be your local server or remote server) may conflict on some issues with your php script and in that case you may want to check/append the values so that your script works perfectly. You can do this with the help of two php built in function called "ini_get" and "ini_set".

OpneSource Integrated development environment(IDE) called NetBeans for PHP

For coding purpose, we use different type of integrated development environment (IDE). There are so many IDEs and sometimes its difficult to choose the best one to use. As I am a php developer, my focus shall be on the IDE for PHP code snippet. I already used Zend IDE (of course the trial version), Dreamweaver. But  from the last few days i start coding on a IDE called NetBeans V.6.8. NetBeans is based on JAVA platform and it needs JRE(Java Runtime Environment) to be installed on the PC. Among the IDEs I have used so far, this one is the best. I have heard from many PHP developer that they don't find any IDE with debugging facility for php code testing. Apart the Zend Debugger(again you need the licensed copy), NetBeans has a built in debugging facility with Xdebug.
