A new question2answer plugin by NTHQ for Admin page – Search In Setting

The search-in-setting plugin

If you and the admin of one question2answer site, you may get your self lost in Admin page where there are too many setting items to remember – it’s hard to say which sub menu one configuration item is located e.g. `Show view count in question lists` in Admin – Viewing menu that helps to toggle the display of number of page views for each question.

Today NTHQ team is proud to announce the arrival of our new question2answer plugin, called search-in-setting,  that will help us the admin of the site to work more comfortable with the hundreds of setting items in Admin page. The snapshots tell us all about it – a new search box that works similarly to Chrome browser preference search feature.

Websites that help to choose laptop with `battery life`

www.newegg.com

www.microcenter.com

Search lots of sites but only the above two sites have the filter for `battery life` – this is so much important when using a laptop but so little sites help users to pick out the long-lasting ones. So strange!

Cool PHP error-suppressing operator – the @ operator

Today by accident I get new php syntax – the @ operator
I often see code
if ( isset($REQUEST[‘someName’] && … ) {
…
}

The `…` in the if statement is the real/futher expression usage on
isset($REQUEST[‘someName’]

 

With @, this isset(…) stuff is no longer needed

e.g.
<?php

$a

= array(‘a’=>1, ‘bb’=>22);

echo ‘<h2>error</h2>’;
$b = $a[‘ccc’]==333 ? 1 : 2;
echo $b;

echo ‘<h1>no-error</h1>’;
$b = @$a[‘ccc’]==333 ? 1 : 2;
echo $b;

To me, the @ operator saves & eases myself from worrying if a field in the `$_REQUEST`/array already exists or not. With @, I just call it out and write the expression/condition for it without bothering to start with isset(…) any longer!

Hope you would share this cool operator with me!

PHP – `php.ini` file for Apache and PHP CLI (command line) is NOT the same

Today, after spending 3 days (yes 3 days!) trying to install PHPUnit on my Windows 7 machine, I realize that `php.ini` used by the PHP CLI is not the same with Apache server.

Quoted from Danial Brown from php.net “If there’s no php.ini file in the path it’s checking, it’ll just
use the internal defaults.  You may not have a php.ini file anywhere
on your system, which is okay if you don’t need to do any tuning.”

And from Stephen “If you have one, it is likely in: <php>\php.ini”
”

So, I just write this down so as we can find it on the internet when we run into PHP-related installation like this. Hope that you would find it helpful!

  -A, –no-auto-rehash
                      No automatic rehashing. One has to use ‘rehash’ to get

                      Automatically switch to vertical output mode if the
                      result is wider than the terminal width.
