Get_headers() is a command in PHP that fetches HTTP headers. The get_header() function accesses the header.php file that describes the nature of the Web page or file. The get_headers function also retrieves website redirection information, error codes, authentication requirements and encryption information such as HTTP and HTTPS. The get_headers function must include the URL of the request in the argument. An argument to format the retrieved headers is optional.
cURL
Websites may have cURL enabled or use a socket connection. cURL in PHP supports FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, LDAP and other data transfer protocols. The Web connection details are contained within the cURL class. This eliminates the need to reference the connection details throughout the PHP code, decreasing the amount of time required to create cURL scripts. cURL scripts create cookies and save the cookies to specified directories. The cURL extension in PHP websites allows external websites to be accessed while remaining on the first website. This function is used for retrieving data like stock quotes from a third-party website or third-party payment vendor websites like PayPal and credit-card processors. cURL scripts are essential to creating online shopping carts and continuously updating data feeds. cURL scripts allow reporting on a connection status such as transfer speed, transferred data volume and the percentage of the file that has been downloaded so far.
Factors Affecting Get_File Speed
Get_file functions do not trigger authentication routines such as log in prompts or cookies. The file_get_contents() function also downloads files without exchanging information with the server from which it was retrieved, such as cookie processing. Using a get_file function instead of a cURL script is faster than a cURL script because these steps are skipped. Get_header speed depends on the volume of information it retrieves. Web pages with less information are retrieved more quickly. Web pages that hold less data are downloaded more quickly.
Factors Affecting cURL Speed
cURL speed depends on network latency, network speed and the speed of the server with which it is communicating. cURL scripts also depend upon the processing speed of the servers they access. cURL slows down when handling large XML files. Multi-processing allows multiple cURL tasks to run simultaneously, potentially speeding up the processing time of the whole Web page.

How to Write a Sleepover Party InvitationIn Feburary 2016 20,
In Feburary 2016 20,
Title your invitation with a clever phrase or catchy saying. Typically the title is used to explain the reason behind hosting a sleepover, whether it's a birthday party, New Year's or for the sake of just getting together. Think of the invitation title as a newspaper headline that is used to set the tone for the rest of the invitation.
Add all the necessary basic details such as who, what, when and where. The 'who' is the name of the child hosting the sleepover party. The 'what' outlines what kind of sleepover party it will be or if the party is themed. The 'when' outlines when the sleepover begins and also what time the children need to be picked up in the morning. The 'where' is the address and perhaps detailed directions for those unfamiliar with the area.
Advise the children as to what they need to bring to the sleepover party. Write this after all the basic details. For example, do the children need to bring their own sleeping bag and pillow? How about flashlights if it's an outdoor sleepover? Do they need to bring gifts or games? This allows the guests to properly prepare for a night away.
Outline briefly what kinds of activities and food the guests will enjoy at the sleepover party. This gives them some idea as to what other optional items they may need to bring. It also gives kids a chance to let the host know if they have any allergies to specific foods. If the sleepover party is a theme party, the activities will be coordinated in correspondence to that theme.
Include an RSVP date at the end of the invitation as well as the contact name and phone number.

How to Find Your FTP Port NumbersIn Feburary 2016 19,
In Feburary 2016 19,
Check your email to see if you have received the confirmation email from the Web-hosting service. This should contain your important account information, including the FTP details.
Log into your Web-hosting account to get the FTP details from your hosting control panel. The exact location of this information varies by hosting company. Look for the 'account settings' area of the control panel.
Use your hosting company's online help database to find your FTP port numbers. Typically the port numbers are the same for all users. Most of the time you will be using either port 20 or 21, but you should confirm this with your hosting company.

HyperText Transfer Protocol and HTTP Secure are used for viewing and interacting with Web pages. When you request a website via your browser, the program sends a message to the server requesting the content of the page. The server responds, usually by sending back the page's content together with data the browser uses to render it correctly. These messages rely on HTTP. HTTPS is used for websites with additional security requirements, such as payment pages for online retailers, where you enter credit card details to make purchases.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol facilitates the uploading and downloading of Internet content. FTP client programs interpret and send messages to and from a server using the FTP protocol. Developers use these tools to create a connection to a Web server, then upload and download website material, including HTML files, server scripts, client scripts, Cascading Style Sheets files, media items and more.
TCP and IP
Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol frameworks provide the means for computers to communicate within a network. These protocols facilitate Internet functions at the level of servers -- the machines providing content and services -- and the client machines accessing and using that content. When you browse a website, your computer is the client, while the computer, or computers, hosting the site are the servers. The TCP and IP systems describe the messages sent between the computers to facilitate this process.
Email
Email uses multiple protocols, including Internet Message Access Protocol, Post Office Protocol 3 and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, designed to be used in conjunction with the IP system, to transfer email messages between computers on the Internet. Some email providers use webmail, where you log into a Web page to access email messages, while others use desktop clients, which are programs designed specifically to fetch and manage email messages, as well as allowing you to send new messages. Email protocols outline the structure of the messages required by these programs and the email providers, to provide functionality.

Log in to your 1and1 control panel and click the hosting package on which you want to install WordPress.
Click “MySQL” under the Database heading on the hosting panel and then select “MySQL Database.”
Enter a description for your new database in the field provided. Something as simple as “WordPress Database” is fine, provided you only plan to have one iteration of WordPress installed on your 1and1 account.
Create a password for the database in the “Password” field and then verify it in the “Repeat Password” field. Make a note of this password as you will need it when installing WordPress.
Click “Set Up” to finish creating your database. When creation is complete, 1and1 displays the details of your database, including the database name and username. Make a note of both of these values as you will need them when installing WordPress.
