How to convert/encode files to FLV using FFMPEG & PHP
So, as I’ve written in an earlier article on how to install FFMPEG on your server, while there are those who probably use a “YouTube Clone” script, there might be those who want to create their own using FFMPEG & PHP. FLV is the most widely used type of codec that runs on most Flash players.
So, let’s get started, there are actually a few steps into converting a file to FLV which are shown below Continue Reading

The first step is to create a simple text file that will store your username and password, separated by a colon (:). The small catch is that the password must be encrypted. Luckily, there are many free web-based utilities that will encrypt the password for you. Try one of these:
Simply enter your desired username and password in one of these pages and submit the form. You’ll get back a string similar to the following: Continue Reading

Sometimes I put up with computer stupidity much longer than I should. By default, Thunderbirdpositions the cursor at the bottom of the e-mail body when replying to an e-mail instead of at the top. I couldn’t figure out how to change it, so instead I rewired my brain to press Ctrl+r, Ctrl+Home to reply.
Today I decided enough is enough. After a brief Google search I found the solution to setting the reply position on e-mails to the top instead of the bottom. The stupid thing is that it’s not an application-wide setting, it’s an account setting.
1. In Thunderbird: Go to “Edit > Account Settings” *
2. Select “Composition & Addressing” for the account in question
3. Make sure the “Automatically quote the original message when replying” checkbox is checked.
4. In the dropdown box below that, select the option “start my reply above the quote”
This worked for Thunderbird 1.5, ymmv
* update: on Windows, the option can be found in: Tools -> Account Settings.
update 2: If you’re commenting to say “thank you”: You’re welcome!

Question: How to backup the whole database?
Answer: Just omit the “table_name” argument. For example, mysqldump -u root -pwordpress > D:\wordpress.sql
Question: How to backup all the databases in MySQL?
USE –force to continue on errors
Answer: Use “–all-databases”. For example, mysqldump -u root -p –all-databases > D:\db.sql
linux mysqldump -u admin -p –all-databases > db.sql
Now let’s to restore it. Enter the following command in the command line window (or shell):
mysql -u root -p wordpress < D:\wordpress_posts.sql
This will restore the “wp_posts” table. You need to specify the database name. Here, it is “wordpress“. The following command restore the whole database:
mysql -u root -p wordpress < D:\wordpress.sql
If you want to restore all the databases (you used “–all-databases” argument to generate a backup file before), you don’t need to specify the database name.
mysql -u root -p < D:\db.sql

$tmp_tpl = preg_replace(‘#(?<=<!–COMMENTBOX–>).+(?=<!–ENDCOMMENTBOX–>)#’, ”, $tmp_tpl);
Of course, to test this out, when you say echo $tmp_tpl, you won’t see anything, as these are comment tags (and thus do not display). So you would have to right-click and view source to see the ‘<!–COMMENTBOX–><!–ENDCOMMENTBOX–>’ effect.
