how to Install Apache, PHP, MySQL and phpMyAdmin on Windows XP

This tutorial will show you step-by-step how to install:
Apache 2
PHP 5
MySQL 5
phpMyAdmin on Windows

For those who want to install an all in one solution on Windows I recommend
WampServer

http://www.wampserver.com/en/

The WampServer package is usually delivered with the latest
releases of Apache, MySQL and PHP.

Once WampServer is installed, you can add other releases by downloading them on this
website. They will then appear in the WampServer menu and you will be able to
switch releases with a simple click.

Each release of Apache, MySQL and PHP has its own settings and its own files (datas
for MySQL).

Using wampserver

The “www” directory will be automatically created (usually c:\wamp\www)

Create a subdirectory in “www” and put your PHP files inside.

Click on the “localhost” link in the WampSever menu or open your internet browser and
go to the URL : http://localhost



Et Voila!


Double click on the downloaded file and just follow the instructions. Everything is
automatic. The WampServer package is usually delivered with the latest
releases of Apache, MySQL and PHP.

Et Voila!

or XAMPP

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

The Apache Server combined with the power of PHP, MySQL, and phpMyAdmin, creates one of the best possible development environments for a web programmer. Getting everything properly configured can take 20-30 minutes. And it can work on a non expensive OS such as Windows XP or Windows 7 Home Edition.

Installing Apache:
Follow the steps carefully.

1 Go to http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi and download "Win32 Binary (MSI Installer): apache_2.2.4-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi" to your desktop.

Note: Make sure that you download Apache version 2.2.4 (Win32 Binary MSI Installer)!

2 Double click "apache_2.2.4-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi", and if prompted, click "run".

3 An installation wizard will appear:



Click "Next".

4 The next page contains the terms of agreement. Select "I accept", and click "Next".

5 Read about the Apache Server, and click "Next"

6 The next screen will ask you for specific server information. Enter the values seen below:



Click "Next".

7 On the next screen, select "Typical Installation" and click "Next".

8 Click "Next".

9 Click "Install".

10 Open up Internet Explorer and type in "http://localhost". If you see a page that says "It works!" then the Apache server has been installed successfully.

Note that if you install Flash Media Server an other instance of Apache will be installed which could cause conflict on the following default Apache server. It would be nice if the FMS team could handle this nicely in their installer....



A few notes on your Apache Server Configuration:
Apache is installed by default in your "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2" directory.

Inside that directory there is a folder called "htdocs" (matching of your \www\ or \public_html\ directory on a unix system). You can develop your applications inside this folder and access them by going to http://localhost/my_file_name.html

The Apache Configuration settings are defined in a file named "httpd.conf" located in the "conf" directory. Do not attempt to change these settings unless you know what you're doing.

Installing PHP:

Next we will be installing PHP version 5. Follow the steps carefully.
1 Go to http://www.php.net/downloads.php and download the "PHP 5.2.0 zip package" to your desktop. (Be patient while it downloads, the ZIP file is over 9MB!)

Note: Make sure that you download the PHP 5.2.0 zip package! The rest of the tutorial is written using this version.

2 Create a new folder called "php" in your C Drive. Copy the "php-5.2.0-Win32.zip" file to there ("C:\php") and extract it using WinZIP or a similiar program.


3 Your "C:\php" directory should now look like:



4 Next copy the "php.ini-dist" file from "C:/php/" to "C:/WINDOWS" and rename it to "php.ini". This is your PHP configuration file. We'll come back to this later.

5 Now it's time to tell Apache that PHP exists. Open up your Apache configuration file ("C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf") in notepad and add these four lines to the bottom of the "LoadModule" section:

LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "c:/windows"

6 In your "htdocs" directory, create a file called "info.php". Open it in notepad and add this line of code to it:



7 Restart your Apache Server for the changes to take effect:

Start > All Programs > Apache HTTP Server 4.2.4 > Control Apache Server > Restart
or faster use the Apache Service Monitor seating in the tray icon bottom right bar on Windows XP

8 Open up Internet Explorer and type in: http://localhost/info.php. If your browser takes you to a page that looks like this, then PHP has been installed successfully!



Modifying your PHP Configuration File:

1 Your PHP configuration (php.ini) file is located in "C:/WINDOWS/php.ini". You can modify it with notepad or a similiar text editor. My favorite is Notepad++


2 Open it up and find the line that says:


extension_dir = "./"


and change it to


extension_dir = "C:\php\ext"


Find the line that says:


;session.save_path = "/tmp"


and change it to


session.save_path = "C:\WINDOWS\temp"


Installing MYSQL:

Next we will be installing MySQL version 5.
Follow the steps carefully.

1 Go to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html#downloads and download the "Windows (x86) ZIP/Setup.EXE (version 5.0.27)" to your desktop. (To do this you'll need to register an account with MySQL.)

2 Once "mysql-5.0.27-win32.zip" has finished downloading, you can extract it using WinZIP or a similiar program.

3 Once extracted, double click on the "Setup.exe" file. An installation wizard will appear.



Click "Next".

4 Select "Typical" Installation and click "Next".

5 Click "Install". (Be patient, this can take up to several minutes).

6 The next screen will ask you to "Sign Up". Select "Skip Sign-Up" for now.

7 The next screen will tell you that the installation wizard is complete. Make sure that the "Configure the MySQL Server now" field is checked before clicking "Finish".



8 The MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard should appear. Click "Next".

9 Select "Detailed Configuration" and click "Next".

10 Select "Developer Machine" and click "Next".

11 Select "Multifunctional Database" and click "Next".

12 Click "Next".

13 Select "Decision Support (DSS)/OLAP" and click "Next".

14 Select "Multifunctional Database" and click "Next".

15 Make sure "Enable TCP/IP Networking" is checked, the Port Number is set to "3306", and "Enable Strict Mode" is checked. Click "Next".

16 Select "Standard Character Set" and click "Next".

17 Check "Install As Windows Service", set the Service Name to "MySQL", and check "Launch the MySQL Server automatically". Make sure that the "Include Bin Directory in Windows Path" is NOT checked. Click "Next".

18 On the next screen, check the box that says "Modify Security Settings". Enter a password for the default "root" account, and confirm the password in the box below. Do NOT check the boxes "Enable root access from remote machines" or "Create An Anonymous Account". Click "Next".

19 Click "Execute". (This may take a few minutes. Be patient).

20 Click "Finish".

21 To test if MySQL was installed correct, go to: Start > All Programs > MySQL > MySQL Server 5.0 > MySQL Command Line Client. The MySQL Command Line Client will appear:



22 It will ask you for a password. Enter the password you created in step 18. (If you enter an incorrect password MySQL will automatically close the command line)

23 Next, type in the commands shown below: (shown in blue)



If you don't get any errors, and it returns the information shown above, then MySQL has been successfully installed! Next we will need to configure PHP to work with MySQL.

Configuring PHP to work with MySQL:

Now that both PHP and MySQL are installed, we have to configure them to work together.


1 Open up your php.ini file (C:/WINDOWS/php.ini) and find the line:


;extension=php_mysql.dll


To enable the MySQL extension, delete the semi-colon at the beginning of that line.


2 Next we must add the PHP directory to the Windows PATH. To do this, click: Start > My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables. Under the second list (System Variables), there will be a variable called "Path". Select it and click "Edit". Add ";C:\php" to the very end of the string and click "OK".


3 Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.


4 Create a new file in your "htdocs" directory called "mysql_test.php".


5 Copy the following code into "mysql_test.php" and click save. (Make sure to replace the MYSQL_PASS constant with the MySQL Password you specified during the MySQL installation).




6 Open up Internet Explorer and type in "http://localhost/mysql_test.php". If the "mysql_test.php" page returns something similiar to:


ID: 1
Name: John


Then PHP & MySQL have been successfully configured to work together. Congratulations! The next and final step is to install phpMyAdmin.

Installing phpMyAdmin:

Now that both Apache, PHP and MySQL are installed, we can install phpMyAdmin, a tool that allows you to easily manage your MySQL databases.
1 Go to http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php and download "english.zip" under the phpMyAdmin 2.9.2 section to your desktop (I assume that since you are reading this article that you understand English).


2 Create a new folder called "phpmyadmin" in your "htdocs" directory. Extract the contents of the "phpMyAdmin-2.9.2-english.zip" ZIP file here. Your C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\phpmyadmin" directory should now look like:




3 Create a new file in the "phpMyAdmin" directory (above) called "config.inc.php". Place this code inside it and be sure to replace "YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE" (in both places below) with your MySQL Password:




4 phpMyAdmin has now been successfully installed! To use it, open up Internet Explorer and type in "http://localhost/phpmyadmin". This will bring you to the main phpMyAdmin page. Note is is always recommended not to install admin tool in default location if deployed on a server open to internet access for security reason.

Enjoy using Apache, PHP, MySQL, and phpMyAdmin!

THE SPINE XML IMAGE MENU

The Spine XML Image Menu is an image based menu with lots of flexibility that is straight-forward and simple, but also fun and creative. It scales the menu image items on mouse over and you can also choose to have a tooltip. On click, the menu will link out to a URL . If the stage is wider than the menu, the menu will be centered, otherwise, if the menu is wider than the stage, it will scroll left to right on the mouse’s horizontal position. It works great as a products menu that would link out to the specific product page.
The menu is XML driven and you can set the following things in the XML file:
– the background color
– the width of the menu items
– the height of the menu items
– the thickness of the border on mouse over of the menu items
– the amount of scaling on mouse over of the menu items
– whether the tooltip is on or off
– the background color of the tooltip
– the background transparency of the tooltip
– the image/SWF path for each of the menu items
– the tooltip text for each of the menu items
– the link URL for the on click of each of the menu items
– the link target for the on click of each of the menu items
So you can have as many images/SWFs as you want and they can be any size you want!

Android

The Applications layer hosts all Android and third-party applications, and several or more third-party applications can execute simultaneously. However, as noted, doing so can shorten battery life.

Beneath the Applications layer is the Android Frameworks layer. This layer consists of Java classes that provide application functions such as window management, window content display, application messaging, and handling phone calls. Obviously the interface Android presents at this level uses the Java programming language, and because the source code is available, you can modify these classes to extend their capabilities or over override their behavior. Note that some of the lower levels in the stack present C++ interfaces.

Next on the software stack comes the Libraries and Runtime layer. The libraries implement 2D and 3D graphics support, along with multimedia content decoding. This layer has engines to support application features, such as a SQLite database engine and WebKit, which handles web content rendering.

Like Java ME, Android strives for hardware independence by using a bytecode interpreter to execute Android applications. However, it doesn't use Sun's JVM, but instead uses its own Dalvik Virtual Machine (DVM). The advantage to Android's use of a different bytecode interpreter is that the DVM was designed so that multiple instances of it can run, each in their own protected memory space, and each executing an application. While this approach offers stability and a robust environment for running multiple applications, it does so at the expense of compatibility with Java ME applications.

The lowest layer of the stack is the Linux kernel. It provides preemptive multitasking and system services such as threads, networking services, and process management. It handles all low-level drivers and manages the device's power




My favorites device right now is the

Samsung Behold II which is now official. It is offered by T-Mobile and run on Android OS. Behold II is also known as SGH-t939 and is quite an impressive phone.

The device has a 3.2″ AMOLED touch-screen, supports 3G networks and T-Mobile promises it will be out before the holidays.

Samsung Behold II will be Samsung’s first Android-powered device with T-Mobile and will have an integrated GPS receiver
so you can take full advantage of Google Maps, and hundreds of others apps that uses location information.

Samsungs Touchwiz 2.0 and Cube Interface is pretty slick and is a great demonstration of what Open GL can deliver on handled handset

How to retrieve XMP Data/Cuepoints using the FLVPlayback

Some users may wonder how they can retrieve the XMP data using the FLVplayback Component.

The best approach is based on the following article

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flvplayback_fplayer9u3_04.html

and consist of implementing your own Custom callbacks via a custom client class


The FLVPlayback component automatically creates an instance of the class fl.video.VideoPlayerClient, assigns it to the NetStream's client property, and handles all callback messages that come through the NetStream. The default class fl.video.VideoPlayerClient handles only the callbacks onMetaData() and onCuePoint(). Both of these messages generate events (MetadataEvent.METADATE_RECEIVED and MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT) so that you do not need to register a custom class to handle these callbacks.

However, if you do wish to use custom callbacks, you must register a custom client class. You should extend fl.video.VideoPlayerClient to ensure that the onMetaData() and onCuePoint() handling supplied by VideoPlayer and FLVPlayback will continue to work properly.

The requirements for a custom client implementation are as follows:

* The constructor method must take an fl.video.VideoPlayer instance as its only parameter.
* The custom class must include a ready property which should be set to true when all messages expected at the very beginning of the NetStream have been received. This step is necessary because the VideoPlayer class initially hides the video and plays the beginning of the file to access the correct dimensions and duration of the video. It then quickly rewinds the video to the beginning and unhides it. If the rewind occurs before all messages at the very beginning of the file are received by VideoPlayer, there's a chance those messages may never be received.
* It is highly recommended that you declare the custom class as dynamic to avoid encountering runtime errors. Errors may appear if any callbacks are triggered that the class is not set up to handle.
* It is also recommended to extend fl.video.VideoPlayerClient to ensure proper onMetaData() and onCuePoint() handling.

1) Create a new extented Metadata EVENT

Copy IVPEvent.as from the source code of FLVplayback locally under your FLA project under fl\video sub folder

Use the code below to register a new extended event save it in a file ExtendedMetadataEvent.as


package fl.video {

import flash.events.Event;

/**
* Flash^® Player dispatches a ExtentedMetadataEvent object when the user
* requests the FLV/F4V/H264 file's metadata information packet (NetStream.onXMPData)
*
* @langversion 3.0
* @playerversion Flash 9.0.28.0
*/
public class ExtendedMetadataEvent extends fl.video.MetadataEvent {


/**
* Defines the value of the
* type property of a xmpDataReceived event object.
*
* @see FLVPlayback#event:xmpDataReceived xmpDataReceived event
* @eventType xmpDataReceived
* @langversion 3.0
* @playerversion Flash 10.0.0.0
*/
public static const XMPDATA_RECEIVED:String = "xmpDataReceived";


/**

IMPORTANT: Don't try to parse the XMP data in the callback as it might be causing some timing issue and you want to give the hand back to the Netstream Object ASAP.

addChild(_playback);
_playback.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.METADATA_RECEIVED, metadataListener);

I'm sure other people involved in the relief work can suggest other things, but a few comments from my point of view:

- Communications capability underpins the ability of other relief workers to do their jobs effectively, so although we, as a community, aren't feeding people or tending to their medical needs, we are helping those who are doing those crucial jobs by allowing them to focus on their work.

- In the short-term, the equipment that's been requested by people on the ground has either already been delivered, is onboard a ship that left Jacksonville about twelve hours ago, or is being containerized to load on a ship that's leaving from Port Everglades tomorrow.

- Also in the short-term, keep an eye out for con-artists who are trying to lure people in to fake aid-donation web sites with spam. Law enforcement is coordinating internationally to take those offline as promptly as possible.

- In the mid-term, what our community needs to do is to make sure that backhaul infrastructure gets into place to move traffic in the 1Gbps-10Gbps range from Port au Prince to Miami. There are several cable systems which land in Santo Domingo, and Columbus has a branching unit off Guantanamo, so our main efforts have been focused on getting a festoon cable run around from the Santo Domingo landing (the University of Puerto Rico Marine Research labs have committed their cable-laying ship, crew, and divers, but we're still looking for an appropriate spool of armored singlemode in the 12-24 core range (more certainly wouldn't hurt, as this would be unrepeatered), and on finding funding to get Columbus to run the spur in from their BU. BTC apparently has fiber already existing or in process of turn-up between Port au Prince and the Bahamas, but nobody's been able to get a response from them yet about its status.

- More generally, as a community, we do good when we make sure that places like this, places that may not have large or lucrative markets, are still served by diverse fiber, rather than by a single fragile monopoly, or not at all, as in Haiti's case. There are many countries as vulnerable as Haiti, and many of them have no fiber. Most humanitarian disasters happen in poor countries and these are generally the countries our community currently has the least capacity to serve. We can think a little more broadly than that, looking to a future when people in poor countries have more smartphones, and students and small businesses are getting online. We don't need to wait for markets to develop... we can invest in those markets, and _cause_ them to develop. Then they won't be as vulnerable to disasters like this.

- Thinking to the longer term... The majority of people who die in humanitarian disasters die of second-order effects like starvation and disease that come in the wake of an earthquake or flood or whatever. That's just beginning now in Haiti, and will continue for some time. The people who died in the earthquake itself will be far outnumbered by those who will die as a result of insufficiently prepared emergency response. PCH and Cisco have been trying for _years_ to get donors to support a ready-to-go emergency communications team for disaster response, but it's been impossible to get donors to fund _preparedness_ rather than after-the-fact response. But immediately after an emergency is the _most expensive_ time to acquire generators and fuel and solar panels and wind generators and batteries and satphones and fiber and space-segments and so forth. All of that can be _much more cheaply_ purchased or contracted for beforehand, and delivered on-site weeks earlier. A!
and those weeks are the weeks of effective response that reduce second-order deaths in the wake of an emergency. People who think they're being helpful with a donation now should understand that the donation would have saved ten times as many lives if it had been made a year ago, than if it's made now. If your companies have charitable foundations, please get them to think about that.

Did Prog Rock's Greatest Artist Inspire Avatar? All Signs Point To Yes

James Cameron spent years creating Avatar's floating islands and crazy dragons, and then an army of concept artists brought them to life. But maybe they had some inspiration from somewhere else? Like classic album-cover artist Roger Dean? Behold the evidence.

Chances are, if you've looked at a weirdshistic record cover by Yes, Asia or other bands, you've admired Roger Dean's paintings of surreal landscapes. If you've ever seen all good people turn their heads each day, then you're already a Dean fan.

Connor Freff Cochran, founder of Conlan Press (which is busy putting out a bunch of Peter S. Beagle books, hosting Beagle's 52/50 poetry subscription service, and putting out art books) contacted us and suggested that Avatar's lush moon might have gained some inspiration from Dean. And when you look at Dean's artwork and compare it to the concept art we posted the other day, it's hard not to see the resemblance.

All of this makes me want to rent Avatar (when it's released on DVD) and see if I can sync it up with YesSongs.

Applications for the iPhone made using Adobe Software

Annonced today at MAX. Flash Professional CS5 will enable you to build applications for iPhone and iPod touch using ActionScript 3. These applications can be delivered to iPhone and iPod touch users through the Apple App Store.

Flash and Video Games PS3 and XNA ???

Civilisation, Mass Effect and Crysis used Scaleform GFx for their Flash graphics.

https://www.scaleform.com/products_gfx.php
https://www.scaleform.com/products/clik

Scaleform® GFx™ 3.0 introduces the Common Lightweight Interface Kit (CLIK™) to help accelerate the design and development of user interfaces on multiple platforms including PCs, Consoles, and Mobiles. The CLIK component architecture and workflow enhancement tools enable users to rapidly create user interfaces from prototype to final design.

Adobe Flash contains a variety of premade and preconfigured interface components to enable easy interface creation. The Scaleform CLIK components are similar to the components found in Flash, but have been custom-designed specifically for creating games using Scaleform GFx 3.0.

Watch Flash Web Site on your HDTV with your PS3

The beautiful part of the PS3 is that the new browser in the PS3 has Flash Player 9 installed. What’s even more beautiful is that it is at least version 9.0.115 because all of my tutorials can be watched from the comfort of your couch. Connecting the PS3 with an HDMI cable makes the tutorials look amazing.

I also recommend the Logitech PS3 keyboard which makes cruising the web a joy.

during its lifetime. Instead subclass once at the HWND creation time, and then un-subclass at the HWND destruction time.
ONLY un-subclass if the value of GWLP_WNDPROC matches your window proc.
In general, you do not know if other subclasses will unsubclass at WM_DESTROY or WM_NCDESTROY time, so it is safest if it attempt to unsubclass
rst in WM_DESTROY time, and then (if that does not succeed) at WM_NCDESTROY time. You willnot get a WM_NCDESTROY
message if you were able to unsubclass in response to the WM_DESTROY message.

Tealium Web analytics Blog

With the recent news on Yahoo Finance regarding Omniture-Adobe acquisition, I was curious to know a bit more about Web Analytics and provide pointers to anyone reading my blog. I posted an article some time ago on how to add Google Web Analytics to a SWF. Anyhow, here is a very great blog that I found at Tealium.com for those interested in Web Analytics. The blog is really well written by web Analytics Experts. Former Web Side Story, Visual Science and Omniture folks...

Quoting Paul Tondeur :

Both web pages provide information about the content and the level of the book.
Chapter 8 is available online as a free sample, and covers working with models and animated models that have been created in external programs. Among other things, the chapter discusses how to export models from Autodesk 3ds Max, SketchUp and Blender.
