PHP Mkdir Permission Does Not WorkIn Feburary 2016 25,

In Feburary 2016 25,
The list of permissions you supply to the 'mkdir' function are valid only on Linux-based file systems. This means you cannot associate permissions with a directory you create under Windows. If you pass permissions with the 'mkdir' function under Windows, PHP simply ignores them.
Default User Account
Remember that a script run on a Web server from a browser runs under the default user account on the Web server such as 'www-data,' not under your user account. If directory permissions are not working, it may be because you are testing a script under your account instead of the default user account. You can test the script as the default user by typing 'su www-data' and exploring the directory permissions assigned to that user.
Directory Mask
If the resulting permissions of a new directory are different from what you passed, it may be because of a directory mask applied to the permissions. The mask is maintained by the Web server, not by PHP. To circumvent the mask, use the 'umask' function to set the mask to zero, create the directory using 'mkdir' and change the directory permissions using the 'chmod' function. For example:
$save = umask(0);
if (mkdir($newdir)) chmod($newdir, 0755);
umask($save);
?>
Recursive Assignment
The 'mkdir' function takes a second optional argument that creates nested directories recursively. When you assign directory permissions recursively, the permissions may not be executed in the proper order and you might get different results from what you expected. To ensure the proper order, use the 'chmod' function to assign directory permissions to the new directory after you create it with the 'mkdir' function. For example:
if (mkdir($newdir, 0755, true)) chmod($newdir, 0755);
?>

How to Fix Internet Explorer When It Is Opening AutomaticallyIn Feburary 2016 21,

In Feburary 2016 21,
Disconnect your computer from your Internet connection. The easiest way to do this is simply to unplug the cable before starting the computer. If your Internet connection is wireless, disable your wireless card. Once your computer is disconnected, restart it. This may stop Internet Explorer from automatically opening windows on a temporary basis while you troubleshoot the problem.
Start your computer in Safe Mode if Internet Explorer is still opening windows that prevent you from troubleshooting. To start in Safe Mode, shut your computer off. Turn it on and immediately begin pressing the F8 key about once a second until you see a menu. Your mouse won't work, but your arrow keys will. Highlight 'Safe Mode' and press Enter. Do not choose 'Safe Mode with Networking.'
Open the Control Panel. In Windows XP, you can reach the Control Panel by clicking 'Start' and choosing 'Control Panel.' Open 'Internet Options.' On the 'General' tab, click 'Delete Cookies.' Click 'Delete Files' and choose to delete offline content. On the Security tab, click 'Default Level' for your Internet zone. On the 'Privacy' tab, click 'Default.' Check 'Block pop-ups' and click 'Settings.' Click 'Remove All' and 'Close.' On the 'Programs' tab, click 'Manage Add-ons.' Disable any add-ons (if you find that an add-on has caused the problem, you may remove it and leave the other add-ons enabled). On the 'Advanced' tab, check 'Reuse windows for launching shortcuts.' Click 'OK.'
Open 'Security Center.' Set 'Firewall,' 'Automatic Updates' and 'Virus Protection' to 'On.' Note whether your virus protection is up to date. Reconnect to the Internet and see if the problem persists.
Repair Internet Explorer if possible. The repair process may require either your original Windows installation disk or a copy of the Windows installation files on your hard drive. Most major computer manufacturers provide you with one or the other. Once you've completed the repair process, restart your computer and test to see if Internet Explorer no longer opens windows automatically.
In Windows Vista, open the Control Panel. Choose 'Internet Options.' On the 'Advanced' tab, click 'Reset.' Click 'OK.' This option may also be available under Windows XP, depending on your version of Internet Explorer. If so, try it before using the separate instructions for repair under Windows XP.
In Windows XP, click 'Start' and choose 'Run.' Type in 'sfc /scannow' without the quotes. Click OK. If you are prompted for your installation disk, provide it.
Malware Infection
Run a full scan of your computer with your anti-virus software. If your anti-virus software is not up to date, try to start your computer normally or in 'Safe Mode with Networking' and update it. If you're unable to get Internet Explorer to stop opening windows long enough to run the update, boot to Safe Mode to run your anti-virus scan.
Run an anti-malware scan like Spybot Serach & Destroy or Ad-Aware. If possible, update your anti-malware product before running the scan. If you don't already have a malware scanner installed, download and install Spybot Search & Destroy from Safer-networking.org or Ad-Aware from Lavasoft.com.
If you can't use Internet Explorer for this purpose but can still access the Internet (i.e. you're able to use Windows without being in Safe Mode), press Window-E on your keyboard to open Windows Explorer. Enter the web page for one of the anti-malware tools in the Address bar and press 'Enter' on your keyboard.'
Restart your computer and test to see if your Internet Explorer is still opening windows automatically. If so, an IT professional may be able to manually clean out or disable the malware causing the problem. If you don't wish to invoke an IT professional, back up your data and re-install Windows.

How to Find Which Fonts Are Missing in PowerPointIn Feburary 2016 19,

In Feburary 2016 19,
Save your presentation on the original computer where you created it. Send it to yourself via email or FTP so that you can access it on the computer that may not have all of the fonts.
Load the presentation on the other computer, preferably where you plan to make or send your presentation. Make sure that the other computer has Microsoft PowerPoint 2004 or later installed so that you can open the file properly.
View the 'Missing Default Fonts' dialog box that appears if some of the fonts don't translate to the new computer. The dialog box lists each font name and informs you that it will replace them with similar fonts. It also gives you the option to take down the names of the missing fonts, then close out of the file and install them onto the other computer system.
Return to your first computer and open the original PowerPoint file with the information about missing fonts in hand. You can replace these missing fonts with more common font types (like Arial or Times New Roman) as another alternative to get the presentation to display correctly on the other computer system.

How Do I Back Up My Contacts on My Samsung Omnia?In Feburary 2016 14,

In Feburary 2016 14,
Your Samsung Omnia purchase included a USB data cable. Use this cable to connect your Pocket PC device to your desktop computer. The Windows Mobile Device Center software will automatically detect the presence of your Omnia and initiate the synchronization process. By default, Windows Mobile Device Center will attempt to synchronize your contacts, email, calendar, and tasks with those already in Microsoft Outlook. If your Omnia is ever broken or lost, you can sync a new device with Microsoft Outlook and regain all of your original contacts without any data loss. For added protection of your contacts, you can export your entire Outlook contact list into one archive file. By selecting the 'Import and Export' option in the Microsoft Outlook 'File' menu, you can follow the prompts to export all of your contacts into a single file that can then be saved onto a CD or DVD for external storage. This will further protect your contact list from any potential desktop computer failure or hard drive problems.

How to Configure Email in Internet Explorer 8In Feburary 2016 12,

In Feburary 2016 12,
In the Tools menu, select “Internet Options.” This will open a dialog box with tabs that allow you to change features on your web browser.
Click on the “Programs” tab in the dialog box. You will see three panels: “Internet programs,” “Default web browser” and “Manage add-ons.”
Go to the “Internet Programs” block. In that block, look for the “E-mail” label (it is the second item). There is a drop-down next to this label that allows you to choose which program to use as your default email client when operating with Internet Explorer 8. There are three options: Microsoft Office Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail.Microsoft Office Outlook is used mostly for business users but is not restricted to business purposes. Some people who have the Microsoft Office Suite use it to configure emails from other online email offerings such as Yahoo! Mail or Gmail. Microsoft Office Outlook is restricted to the computer you install it on; therefore, this option is best for at-home use or for your personal laptop.Outlook Express is very different from Outlook. They both handle email, address books and the like, but Outlook Express also handles Internet news. Outlook Express doesn’t interact with other programs such as Word, Excel, etc., therefore it is mostly a stand-alone program. Outlook has a powerful junk-mail program as well as incoming and outgoing filtering capabilities; Outlook Express can only handle incoming filtering. The biggest difference is that Outlook Express is only meant for single computers whereas Outlook email can be stored on a server and accessed from more places.Windows Live Mail is an online option for email which is great if you have a Windows Live account. The advantage to this is that you can check email from anywhere at anytime.
Click the “OK” button at the bottom of the dialog box to close the dialog box.

How Is a Router's Routing Table Updated?In Feburary 2016 05,

In Feburary 2016 05,
A routing table is a collection of information on where a network is located in reference to the router the table is in. Routers can have one or many ports, and each port can access many different networks. The routing table specifies on which port a packet is sent out based on the address the packet is for. All routing tables contain at least one entry known as the default gateway. The default gateway is where packets are sent if they are addressed to a network that the table has no route for.As an example, let's say you have a router with the following entries in the routing table: network 192.168.1.0 is reached via port 1, network 192.168.2.0 is reached via port 2, network 192.168.3.0 is reached via port 3, and port 4 is the default gateway. If a packet is addressed to 192.168.3.1, the router checks the routing table to see what port network 192.168.3.0 is reached through. Since that network is reached through port 3, the packet is then sent out via port 3. A packet destined for network 192.168.10.0 would leave via port 4 because port 4 is the default gateway, and there is no known route for that network address. It is important to note that the receiving network does not have to be connected directly to a port, only that it is reached by that port. This would occur if there was another router in the line that was directly connected to the receiving network.
Dynamic vs. Static Tables
Routing tables updates depend on how the table is made. If the routing table is static, then updates must be done manually by a network administrator. This is one of the reason why static tables are not popular. If the table is dynamic, then changes will be made automatically. Dynamic routing tables can be changed manually, and the first entries are often added by the network administrator to allow for quicker routing from the start.
Updating Dynamic Tables
For every packet sent across the network, a reply packet is sent back. When the router with a dynamic routing table receives a return packet, it examines the header information to see the route that was taken. It will then use that information to update its router table if it can. If the packet returns on the default gateway, no updates are made, as all packets for the receiving network were already routed through that port from the beginning. In the previous example, if the packet that was sent out via port 4 for network 192.168.10.0 returned via port 2, the routing table would update to show that both networks 192.168.2.0 and 192.168.10.0 are reached via port 2. The next packet sent to network 192.168.10.0 would then leave via port 2 instead of the default gateway.
