what is .htaccess?
=> it’s a file located at your server use for control apache activities. usually we place .htaccess file in server root but it’s also possible to locate elsewhere. moreover, .htaccess file help us to rewrite apache behavior. in addition, you can rewrite some variables of php.ini form .htaccess file. regardless of php framework or coding style .htaccess is helpful for all.
have a look my previous tutorial which describe basics of .htaccess file in server and local host.
Well now some advance topics. you can rewriet php.ini upload maximum file size value using the following line of command in your .htaccess file
php_value upload_max_filesize “25M”
and test it from your php script by
echo ini_get("upload_max_filesize");
.htaccess ReWrite Rules(Short and Very Very useful)

It’s a good experience for me. i have posted the problem elsewhere as well. let me copy and paste that one first. http://www.bluehostforum.com/showthread.php?p=68607#post68607
last 2 days i have spent couple of hours to resolve an issue of mail sending. here is my code of php
<?php
include_once('class.phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // defaults to using php "mail()"
$body = '
<html>
<head>
<title>Birthday Reminders for August</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
';
$body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);
$mail->From = "webmaster@shopno-dinga.com";
$mail->FromName = "Shopno Dinga";
$mail->Subject = "PHPMailer Test Subject via mail()";
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$mail->AddAddress("aminulsumon@yahoo.com", "hello faruk");
//$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif"); // attachment
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
?>
my script doesn’t show any error. it’s able to send mail to gmail and hotmail inbox. but only for yahoo it goes spam folder. i don’t think that, it’s an issue of yahoo.
Please note that, webmaster@shopno-dinga.com email address is created through cpanel.
I ask some friends to resolve it. Someone says, use @, some one say’s seems to him ok and one says, go google and search phpmailer(he is the busiest one 
). however, i have tried to implement phpmailer one and i get success. It’s easy to implement. a very simple php class and set some value. that’s all.
phpmailer site: http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/
donwload link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=26031&package_id=252700 and click PHPMailer v2.3 for PHP5/6
$subject = 'Birthday Reminders for August';
// message
$message = ‘

$subject = ‘Birthday Reminders for August’;
$to = ‘aminulsumon@yahoo.com’;
$headers=‘MIME-Version: 1.0′.“\r\n”;
$headers.=‘Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1′.“\r\n”;
$headers.=‘To: Aminul <aminulsumon@yahoo.com>’.“\r\n”;
$headers.=‘From: Shopno dinga <webmaster@shopno-dinga.com>’.“\r\n”;
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
And Still same result. Mail goes to spam folder for yahoo !!!
Well, lets analyze with this simple code
<?php $to = 'aminulsumon@yahoo.com'; $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'To: Aminul Sir <aminulsumon@yahoo.com>' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'From: Dinga <webmaster@shopno-dinga.com>' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Reply-To: webmaster@shopno-dinga.com' . "\r\n"; $message = 'very simple mail. only text no html currently.'; $subject = 'test mail from manktech'; if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) echo "mail goes to $to \r\n"; else echo 'mail jai nai.'; ?>
Please note that, from some hosting(i think those are first class domain) this code is able to send yahoo recipient mail in their inbox but still not from my hosting(bluehsot) 
Debugging Starts: First check whether your domain is blacklisted or not. Check through http://www.mxtoolbox.com/ site.
=>checked and try to fix many ways but still mail goes to spam for yahoo recipient.
Well, after couple of days, i get only person who is able to provide me proper explanation. Most of the professionals reply as, “It’s completely header issue. so try to fix that and it will work”. but when i request himself to change he failed. someone point his finger to use third party emailer but after implement when i knock them “Still it’s spam”. they have no proper explanation. i found less people who say “Sorry brother can’t understand what actually going on”. Well, only one friend reply the real fact. He said “Yes, yahoo have some additional filtering and that’s why mail from all domain are not accepted and goes spam. But google have an excellent service which will overcome spam issue.” here is his mail’s reply:
and finally i do a good RnD. simple few steps configuration. Most importantly, MX Entry configuration. keep in mind, it’s in your cpanel not at your domain control panel(by example, godaddy.com). Finally, i am able to create email account which is fully featured of gmail. 
yes it’s surprising. exactly same outlooking and features(by example, google doc, calendar) of gmail.
Now i am able to access my email from https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/shopno-dinga.com using username :admin@shopno-dinga.com and password: something.
This tutorial may be helpful for someone who is interested to learn mail stuffs with proper explanation. And it’s really charming to get gmail features for your domain email accounts. Best of luck
Finally i purchase a second hand but fresh condition laptop with 26K, here is it’s configuration: Toshiba Sattelite L300, Intel Celeron 2.0 GHz, HDD: 80GB, Display 15.4 inc, RAM: 1 GB, Used: 8 month.
So it require me to setup internet and here are the steps to setup network. Note that my mac address is: 00:13:D3:9E:65:7F. First install fedora operating system and follow these steps.
LINUX COMMANDS(For Ubuntu Network Setup)
====================================================
#sudo update-rc.d -f NetworkManager remove
=> Remove default connection.
#sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
=> Enter the following configuration(change according to your configuration)

PHP is best suited with Linux but Linux is not easy OS like windows. On the other hand, so far i feel, LINUX is more speedy/powerful then windows not only in server pc but also developer pc. So when i plan to switch to linux i need to think about some issues one by one and try to solve.
PHP Editor->
-> Windows: e-text editor
-> Mac: textmate
-> Linux: gphpedit, netBeans, bluefish
Web Server->
-> Windows: WAMP, XAMP
-> Linux: I am searching. May be built in
There are millions of linux command over the net. but here are some commands i use so far. my target is to learn minimum number of commands what are always used. I am using Linux Fedora 10 version. i feel, linux command changed over version of linux(not basic commands).
TO install a Software(Say yuuguu)
=> # vi /etc/yum.repos.d/yuuguu.repo
[yuuguu]
name=Yuuguu
baseurl=http://update.yuuguu.com/repositories/yum/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
=> # yum install yuuguu
TO uninstall a Software(Say yuuguu)
=> # yum remove yuuguu (Best One)
=> # rpm -e yuuguu-build.2257-1.i386
=> # rpm -e yuuguu-build.2257-1.i386 –nodeps
=> # rpm -e yuuguu-build.2257-1.i386 –force
TO update a Software(not Sure)
=> # yum update yuuguu
Check a software installed or not
=> # rpm -qa | grep yuuguu
So far these are all. I am trying to move forward and i shall fillup this white board
we all know the feature and advantages of serversion. although, i like DRY(Don’t Repeat Yourself), but i like to introduce a scanario. say we are developing a project where a number of folders and hundred or thousands of files exists. this is common scanario for projects developed using framework. now, in order to develop or fix a module, its tough for developers to keep in mind which files he had changed or write last night or couple of hours ago. in addition, this is an extra headake(incorrect spelling ) for developers to keep in mind these things. on top of, subversion allow you to rollback whole sites days back or month back.
well, previously i thought, it’s not possible to install subversion in shared hosting. its’ only for dedicated hosting and as though, shopno-dinga is not dedicated server, it’s not possible to get subversion huge huge benifit. but i was 100% wrong. i have googled and find out myself, it’s possible for both dedicated and shared hosting. what to do ? how to setup? these are the commmon question in my mind. to install subversion in shared server first requirermnt is to activate SSH. i have go through two shared hosting cpanel. one have SSH option and other don’t have. so, i have to request to get SSH feature in cpanel(for non-existant SSH). now another one, one cpanel have SSH feature and i thought it’s activated. but once again, i am 100% wrong. i start trying to activate SSH. to do so, i need to create public key(shopno-dinga-key.pub) and private key(shopno-dinga-key.ppk). that’s all ?? NOP !!! after create these keys i need to submit my photo id and i do so. But still my request is pending. because i am not owner of my shared hosting 
, which mean the owner have to sent an email from his account to activate SSH. i have called bluehost 24 hour live support and using Yes-No-Verygood english i understand, it’s not possible for me to activate SSH without my hosting orinigal owner. So i am waiting for that activation !!!
As soon as SSH will be activated, i shall start intall subversion into my shopno-dinga.com shared hosting.
Yes right now i have two pc. One is running Windows and another Linux. I have installed Fedora 10. But configure network and internet was really a nightmare for me. But last night i was able to do it successfully (after one week failure). By one of my junior friends(Rony) help here is the configuration. All these configurations i create from fedora terminal.
Install Linux(Huge resource over the net):
http://www.howtoforge.com/the_perfect_desktop_fedora7
LINUX COMMANDS
====================================================
#ifconfig
=> Display configuration
#iptables -F
=> Flash Firewall
To Set IP “Addrerss” and Netmask
================================
#vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
ONBOOT=yes
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=192.168.2.119
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BOOTPROTO=static
MACADDR=00:13:D3:9E:65:7F
:wq (This is save file)
To Set IP “Gateway”
========================
#vi /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=yes
HOSTNAME=aminul-sumon
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1
:wq (This is save file)
To Check Cable Connectivity
=====================
#mii-tool
Correct Output => eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
Most Easy Way is
=============
#netconfig
#service network restart
Now after configure my network here are the output taken from terminal:
here are the output of my linux machine:

Taste of Web development using PHP
Well at this stage, we know how to setup PHP, MySql and Apache. We have installed either XAMP or WAMP (ready made package of PHP, MySql and Apache). Moreover we run a simple PHP script hello_world.php. Which means now we are able to create a project, write php code and run it in browser.
Lets move forward with a simple page with some HTML controls. Lets define our requirement first.
It’s a member information page with the following fields: first name, last name, email, contact no, present address and sex. When we enter data and submit this page it will goes to another page and shows the information. That’s all for today.
Lets start. Our first task is to create a simple page member_info.php. Now lets add the fields first name, last name, email, contact no, present address and sex. Before write a single line of code we have to think first, which HTML fields we will use. For first name, last name, email address it’s fair to choice text box. Moreover, for present address wise to select text area as though address need multiple line of input. Lastly, for sex it’s clever decision to choose radio button with predefined values Male and Female. So here is our page member_information.php.
Untitled Document
| Welcome to Member Information Page | |
| First name | |
| Last Name | |
| Address | |
| Sex |
Male
Female |
Now when you browse this page (like: http://localhost/project_name/member_information.php ) you will get all fields of your page. When you enter some informations and press submit the page goes to http://localhost/project_name/success.php. Lets clarify how is it works. if you observe this page closely you found
//some html controls.. text box, radio button and submit button
A submit button is fully responsible to submit the page to server along with all inputed informations. And form action=”success.php” define where these informations will be submitted. As a result it submits to success.php. Hey!!! It shows you No page Found 404 Error Right? Don’t worry. You are correct. Just make sure your URL (at address bar) end with success.php.
Well at second step. lets build success.php. This is a simple page where we show all data inputed at member_information.php. Here is the code of success.php
Untitled Document
| Welcome to Member Information Page | |
| First name | |
| Last Name | |
| Address | |
| Sex | |
So you get your inputed data. right? Right now you url in address bar is http://localhost/project_name/success.php Lets analyze success.php. Actually we use here $_POST['field_name'] to display any field_name value. By example, we have
which means address is a HTML field what is submitted to success.php through a POST method. Lets remind our mind we have
in member_information.php page.
that’s all for today. Try yourself to understand how this page is working. test by add some fields like phone number in member_information.php page and display it at success.php.
Best of luck
Many developers and DBAs who spent their lives on M$ SQL or Oracle turn up their noses at mysql, they refer to it with disdain. According to them the lack of foreign key support in mysql means it is not a proper RBMS and not standard compliant. Nothing can be further from the truth.
Mysql has supported foreign keys for a long time now many people simply don’t know of it or use it because foriegn keys cannot be used with MyISAM type of tables. You need to use InnoDB type tables instead.
Since many of the mysql tutorials on the web were written long long ago before InnoDB support was added, they rarely refer to the use of this table type or foreign keys. Fortunately it’s a trival matter to convert your tables from MyISAM to InnoDB – provided that their data integrity has not been violated.
ALTER TABLE tablename TYPE=InnoDB is all that is needed to perform the conversion. Now you are ready to add foreign keys – let’s look at an example.
alter table userProfile add Foreign key (userId) REFERENCES users(userId);
This foreign key isn’t particularly usefull – all it can do is stop you from entering a User Profile for a non existent user (as you were about to ..). Rather more usefull is to have a foreign key that results in an unwanted user’s profile being deleted when you delete the entry in the user’s table. But first we need to drop the contraint that we have already created. alter table userProfile drop foreign key userId;
Beware; this drop foreign key statement will fail if there are inconsistencies in your data. The only remedy then is to create a new table do an INSERT .. SELECT query , drop the original table and rename the new table to use the old table name then take a deep breath.
Before we were so rudely disturbed, we were discussing cascading deletes, here is how you should create your foreign key if you want to make use of this feature: alter table userProfile add constraint foreign key (userId) references users(userId) on delete cascade;

Yes… we feel grief that, shopno-dinga blood bank hacking stopped.
As you all know that, good and excellent website, product, or news face lot criticism. in that way shopno-dinga was pleased after hacked daily. oh sorry it wasn’t once daily instead, number of times a day. but it’s now past. we are not hacked any more now a days. Yes really surprised. really surprised.
for your kind information:
Blood bank registration page: http://www.shopno-dinga.com/blood_bank/
Blood bank list of donor page: http://www.shopno-dinga.com/blood_bank/DonarList/
we have not used CAPTCHA (image validation). we think, shopno-dinga hacker is tired. ha ha ha ha ha. if hacker is not tired then how is it possible to prevent hacker without using CAPTCHA.
however, think yourself. it’s your duty but we are highly disappointed that, no more hacker
i am sure you are 100% right. Yes this is the way by which shopno dinga prevent hacker WITHOUT Captcha

Before start php you need some back understanding of web technology. How web sites are developed?
Web site consist of three parts. We need to understand clearly what these are and how it works. First of all you need a server called web server. Apache is a server of linux where you actually put your files. Secondly you need to choose a scripting language. Without any scripting language you site can’t be dynamic. We choose PHP as web language. Finally to handle operations of data you need a database. Mysql is best suited with PHP and Apache.
LAMP: Stands for Linux, Apache, Mysql and PHP. So we can easily understands that, PHP is best suited in Linux server and this is the reason why everybody chooce Linux server for hosting. In contrast, most of we are using windows. Moreover, configure LAMP is not so easy for everyone. So what’s the solution? There are a number of integrated tools which are simple to install and configure automatically. XAMP is a very good one. WAMP is another one. You can download both for free from the web. Download XAMP/WAMP anyone you like and compatible with your OS. Once XAMP/WAMP download and installed you are ready for to code with PHP, MySql and Apache.
For instance lets download and install XAMP. Then goto c://xamp/htdocs/ this is called root/document root. Lets create our first project named practice
