WURF(l) WURF(l) and PHP part 1
If you ever tried to install a mobile application or website, you probably felt like that. hundreds of browsers, standards, non standards and than some.
One application that tried to solve that is WURFL. What it does is keep a huge database of mobile phone browsers and their capabilities, and gives the developers a single place to get coding right.
You write once, and the API acts like a layer, and displays the corresponding code to the requesting browser/phone.
All seemed nice, until I started to install and implement it.
It first asks for a PEAR dependancy log. I installed that.
Now comes the messy part, neither instructions, not on the web nor on the downloaded package are informative enough, nor do they even correlate to the correct folder they are in.
Once tells you to update a file from one location, while residing on a different one.
It's hard to ask from people who invest of their time by writing open and free source, but if you will spend just 1,2, 5 and even 10 hours more, you will save an exponential number of hours by solving questions that the answers are already known.
I will continue with the installation process:
1. Install PEAR install log - done
And that's about the last easy step that WURFLS had to give.
There MUST be a better way to help users, I am not asking for a 24hour support line, but 1 clear easy FAQ/Forum - that will do it.

Sleep for a random time in PHP
If you want your PHP program to halt/sleep for a random period of time, use the folowing:
sleep ( rand ( int min, int max));
*sleep is in seconds
so:
sleep ( rand ( 2, 4));
will sleep for 2 to 4 seconds.

Adsense and Dynamic content
If you want to put adsense on your php dynamic pages, it's possible
Let me explain how GET|POST matters. The process of getting the relevant ad to the page is as following:
1. The user inputs some query and hits Search.
2. The browser sends the request and gets the page with some contents
3. The AdSense javascript on this page calls spider telling him the URL of the page
4. The spider comes, grabs the page and analyzes it thus selecting the relevant ads
Now what will happen if the JS tells the spider the URL like http://www.mysite.com/myscript.cgi? The spider will see a page with default content because it didn't POST a request there. But the user will see quite different page because he did! So ads displayed will correspond with contents of default page, not with what the user has requested. And if the request was sent by user via GET then the JS will pass the spuider the URL like http://www.mysite.com/myscript.cgi?q...ss+destruction, so both user and spider will see the same content and the spider will be able to select the appropriate ads to display.

VIM Search and replace
VIM is an awsome tool for editing, I keep learning new things every day.
Today I learned how to easily search and replace strings:
:[range] s/search/replace/
so easy. there are other options as well, you can work in Visual mode to select lines, you can ask to search and replace in the entire file, etc.
super easy.

Bug 2010 !!!
We all waited for the Y2K bug, that didn't arrive, but voot voot, it hit Germany only 10 years later.
A delayed Y2K bug has bitten hard at some 30 million holders of German debit and credit cards, making it impossible for them to use automatic teller machines and point-of-sale terminals since New Year's Day.
Multiple news agencies said the outage stemmed from card chips that couldn't recognize the year 2010. The DSGV, an association representing German banks, said engineers were working diligently to fix the problem, but a full resolution might not come until Monday.
The outage affected 20 million EC, or electronic cash, cards, which act as debit cards, and 3.5 million credit cards, according to the DSGV. A separate bank association known as BDB said about 2.5 million of its cards suffered from the same problem and another 4 million cards issued by Germany's cooperative banks were at least partially touched.
The reports are the latest to involve the inability of computers to properly handle the 2010 date. Just after midnight on New Year's Day, Symantec's Endpoint Protection Manager stopped accepting updates after it was hit by its own 2010 date bug. Soon after the first of the year, SpamAssassin began blocking huge amounts of legitimate email because they included the 2010 in their headers, a date so far off the spam filter assumed they had to be junk.

Send SMTP in PHP Via PEAR package also in Amazon AWS
If you are going to send SMTP with PHP, and sendmail isn't just good enough, you might want to try and use PEAR package. super one.
Just don't forget to setup correctly the header for the send function
$header['From'] = $websiteName . " <" . $emailAddress . ">";
$header['MIME-Version'] = '1.0';
$header['Content-type']= 'text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';
$header['Subject']= $subject ;

Not funny: A father murdered his 8 month daughter
This has happened yesterday. A father murdered his 8 month old daughter by slamming her on to the floor. I feel like shouting !!! The atrocity, the sheer brutal force one can use against a harmless 8 month - she is your own flesh and blood !!
There are no words to describe this, and only one thing comes to my mind: DEATH PENALTY !!!
I really wish that there would bring up the chair for such criminals.
Some couples whom are childless are waiting for a child for years, and others can easily take a life.
To add more to the horror, the child was crying for 20 minutes (so the neighbors claim) - if that's the case, why didn't they intervene? where is their humanity? Reading such news makes me sad and sick.
Don't have words for this.
