How to Create a Joomla Web SiteIn Feburary 2016 15,

In Feburary 2016 15,
Log in to your website's administrative panel and locate the Fantastico icon, which is usually a smiley face. Click this icon to begin the Joomla installation process.
From the main Fantastico Web page, locate and click on the Joomla 1.5 hot link and select the new Joomla installation option.
By default, a new installation will assume that you will be installing Joomla into the root directory of your website (www.yoursite.com), which is usually the case. If your requirements dictate a different directory, the process does allow you to do so easily.
Assign an administrator user name and password. These credentials will be used to log in to the back end of the website, where most of the work will take place (www.yoursite.com/administrator).
Assign the administrator email address, administrator full name and the name of your website. This information can all be changed later if needed.
Lastly, you are presented an option to install sample data. If you lack Joomla experience, the sample data will be invaluable to help you learn where everything is, what it does, and how it was configured. Then, click the Install button.
Experiencing Joomla
Once Joomla has been properly installed using Fantastico, navigate to the administrative side of your new Joomla site. Open a browser to your website address followed by /administrator (i.e., http://www.yoursitename.com/administrator). Log in with your administrative credentials created during the installation.
From the control panel, explore the Global Configuration area, where you can set the global site meta description and keywords used by search engines to find your website. Configure the search engine optimization settings as appropriate.
Visit the Article Manager and open the various sample pages created from the sample data installation. Note the section, category, and access level settings specifically. Create new sections and categories as required. Modify the viewing access levels on some articles.
Explore the User Manager. Create and modify user accounts and their respective viewing permissions. Log in with one of the new accounts you create. Note which articles you can view with one or more new accounts.
Delve into the Menu Manager by editing existing sample menu items as well as creating new ones. Create a new menu and attach pages, sections and categories to it.
Review the Media Manager and note where and in what format your images can be stored.

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.

Open Notepad and paste the following text into a new document:open releases.mozilla.organonymousXYZ@XYZ.COMcd pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/5.0/win32/en-US/binaryget 'Firefox Setup 5.0.exe'These are batch commands that connect your computer to Mozilla's 'Pub' folder on its FTP site. After connecting, the commands download the latest version of Firefox to your hard drive. Replace 'XYZ@XYZ.COM' with your email address. The Mozilla FTP site uses that as your login password.
Click the 'File' menu at the top of Notepad, and then click 'Save As.' Notepad opens its 'File Save' window.

Click the Windows Start button and type 'CMD.' The 'cmd.exe' icon will appear at the top of the Start menu. Click that icon to open the CMD window.
Type the following text in the CMD window:ftp -s:mozillaConnect4.scrPress 'Enter.' Windows launches its FTP program and processes the commands stored in the file you created. Windows also displays a message that begins with 'Opening BINARY mode data connection.' Wait while Windows downloads the file. When the download completes, the 'ftp>' command prompt appears.
Type 'Quit' to disconnect from the Mozilla FTP site after that command prompt appears.

What Is the PHP Mail Character Limit?In Feburary 2016 08,

In Feburary 2016 08,
The PHP 'mail' function takes three required and two optional parameters, all of which are strings. The first parameter contains the email address of the recipient. The second has the subject of the message. The third parameter is the email message itself. The fourth parameter contains extra headers such as 'From,' 'Cc' and 'Bcc.' The last parameter contains any flags that should be passed on the command line. The function returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the message was successfully relayed to the mail server. For example:$result = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
Email Size
PHP does not impose any special limits on the size of an email message. It does, however, establish the maximum amount of memory that a single script can consume. This setting is called 'memory_limit' and can be modified in the 'php.ini' setup file, usually found in '/etc/php5/apache2/.' The default setting is 8 MB for PHP versions prior to 5.2 and 128MB in PHP 5.2 and later. Since an email message is a string passed to a function, that string cannot cause the script to exceed the 'memory_limit' parameter. This limit is not affected by email attachments because the contents of an attachment are not passed in memory to a PHP function.
Character Limits
PHP imposes a limit of 70 characters for each line in the text of an email message. This means that you have to insert the line feed character '\n' to break an email message into multiple lines if the message is more than 70 characters long. The PHP 'wordwrap' function will do this for you by passing it the message string and the maximum width of 70, for example:$result = mail($to, $subject, wordwrap($message, 70), $headers);
PHP Relay
PHP does not send an email message. It relays a message to a mail transport agent, or MTA, such as Exim, Microsoft Exchange, Postfix, qmail or Sendmail. The MTA sends the email to the recipient. The return value from the PHP 'mail' function indicates the success of the relay to the MTA, not of the delivery to the recipient. If an MTA imposes restrictions on the size of an email, including attachments, and the message exceeds that limit, the PHP 'mail' function will return a successful result and the message will fail with the MTA. The MTA will typically send an email to the sender indicating that the message was not sent because it exceeded the maximum size permitted.

How to Purchase an Email AddressIn Feburary 2016 01,

In Feburary 2016 01,
Purchase your own domain name for your email address. The domain name is the portion of the email address that comes after the '@' symbol in the email address. For example, mypetstore.com or myconsultingfirm.com.You can purchase a domain name for your email address from most web hosting providers. Instead of choosing the 'Web Hosting' option, just choose the 'Hosted Email' option.
Compare email hosting providers to find a provider that is suitable for your needs. When comparing, take into consideration how many email boxes you are allowed to setup, as well as the amount of storage that is available for each mailbox. Consider other options that are important to you, such as being able to access your email via webmail, email client, or PDA. Consider the daily sending limits and whether there is 24/7 customer service and backup servers.
Use a valid credit card to sign up for an email hosting account. The mail hosting account will only cost you and average of $1 to $2 per month, whereas a full-fledged web hosting account can cost you around $10 to $15 per month.
Log into your email hosting account. Create the mailboxes you would like to use with your account. For example, customerservice@mypetstore.com or feedback@myconsultingfirm.com. You don't have to setup all of your mailboxes at one time. You can create additional mailboxes as needs arise.
