DriverIdentifier is a desktop/webapp hybrid—install the program then launch it to scan your system for all device drivers then the program checks to see if there are new drivers available for your hardware on the web and these results are displayed in a browser tab. Any needed driver updates can be directly installed by clicking on the Update link. The program is relatively straightforward. Running it on my Lenovo laptop resulted in a handful of drivers that need updates such as my webcam, graphics card, and SATA controller. Clicking on the update link takes you to a page with several mirror sites from which youRead More →
Today, my server is out of disk and i see there are lot of files in /tmp , their names are phpXXXX , i know these files are uploaded by PHP, but why they are not deleted after the scripts end.

When you think your mysql is slow , the first step is to analyze your sql query with “Exlain” command. This is an example explain select * from table1 inner join table2 on table1.field1=table2.field2 and table.field3 =577458498 It will give you some thing like this , look at the “rows” column , if the number of that column is too high, try to reduce it by changing your query , or add index. +——–+——+——————-+———+———+——-+——+———–+ |table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows |Extra | +——–+——+——————-+———+———+——-+——+———–+ |employee| ref | surname,surname_2 | surname | 41 | const | 1 |where used |Read More →

If I’m ever wondering how long my PHP scripts take to execute, I add this code to the start of my pages: <?php function getTime() { $a = explode (‘ ‘,microtime()); return(double) $a[0] + $a[1]; } $Start = getTime(); ?> Then I add this to the end of my script: <?php $End = getTime(); echo “Time taken = “.number_format(($End – $Start),2).” secs”; ?> Sometimes it’s good to get hard figures on how long your script takes to execute, particularly with complex MySQL queries. If your script is particularly tardy and you want to find out where the blockage occurs, you could also try moving the $Start or $End lines to different parts of the script to measure the execution speed of each section.Read More →
