When I am trying to update a customer ID from a table A to table B, I always need to wait for few hours for the server to process it. This is so annoying and waste of time.

Finally I found the answer today where actually I need to INDEX the customer ID before doing the updates. The difference is just so BIG.

With the same command issue at the following, without INDEX it will takes hours to complete BUT after INDEXING then it just need 1.45 sec for 19,638 records!!!

UPDATE tel AS t INNER JOIN contact AS c  SET t.cid = c.cid WHERE t.addr_id = c.addr_id AND t.cid = 0;
Query OK, 19638 rows affected (1.45 sec)
Rows matched: 19638  Changed: 19638  Warnings: 0

So, now I just perform the update again for full data and let’s see the results

UPDATE tel AS t INNER JOIN contact AS c  SET t.cid = c.cid WHERE t.addr_id = c.addr_id;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (3.55 sec)
Rows matched: 103484  Changed: 0  Warnings: 0

That’s why I say it’s fun to play with web programming now a days lol

There is a missing 5th parameter for PHP Mail() which I never know (eventhough on php.net mail() function did show up 5th parameter).

My problems is no matter on which site I setup mail scripts, the Return-path always showing the main server url which most of the time causing problem for sending email to some protected email server. No matter how I set the headers to include Reurn-path to any email address, it will never show up the correct one. At last now I have the solution,

mail($to, $subject, $bodymessage, $headers, “-fnoreply@domain.com”)

noreply@domain.com is the address I sepcified, there must be a -f in front of the address.

Hope this will be helpful

The solution is very simple, let say your drop down menu #menu is within #header part, you just need to set the #header with z-index:2;

then your next part maybe #contents, this should be set to z-index:1;

Hope you got it

This related to one of my website that I have not been updating recently, so I quickly ftp into my server and check it.

I found that this data_.php script is use for GETTING HTTP POSTS from some where and then it will MAIL it out, so, my server will become the email server for the SPAMMER. Luckily I notice about it earlier now and saw this stupid spammer write different php style than me, so I can sure this is not the script that I wrote for myself (lol, I have to deal with thousand of scripts always)

I have report this to the datacentre admin, they are checking for me now that whether where is the security hole. Stay tuned!!

I signed up the Yahoo! Pipes for quite some while but never got time to really experience it. Today I just come across it again fater yesterday my visit to Internet World 2007 exhibition in Earls Court Centre, London, UK. In the exhibition I met with a guy in a stand selling his piece of software which works like that Yahoo! Pipes but he is going to sell it for €50,000.00!!! So I just politely tell him that his should do so to sell at that price because it’s new technology (I remember it called MASHUP SERVER technology).

Back to the topic here, I just try to make a TEST pipe here (http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/person.info?eyuid=lSogDpswo2uqNu9J6AYp), and then the result is cool I can combine two RSS feeds together. If you have good imagination and cretiave mind, maybe you can create some cool pipes???
