I have found a great source that will help us and me for my future work regarding on how to create a login page in dreamweaver – php/sql. Thanks to webdesign.org and Ades Tynyshov for providing us a very nice tutorial on this.

Note: Before you attempt this tutorial you should have some DB server running on your computer such as MySql. If not download dev5beta3.exe and install PHP, Apache and MySql together with phpMyAdmin with one click, and you will be ready for all the dynamic tutorials.This tutorial will teach you how to make a login page in Dreamweaver MX. At the end of the tutorial you will have a page where users can enter their username and password and if the username and password which they entered match the records in the database they will be allowed to enter the restricted page in other words redirected to the members area.

1. First we should create a table called users. This is the table that we will check the form fields against. Use the following code to create this table. phpMyAdmin is preferred. CREATE TABLE users ( username varchar(20) NOT NULL default ”, password varchar(20) NOT NULL default ” ); After you have created your table populate it at least with one entry, for the sake of example we will use admin for username and admin for password. You are free to populate with your own data.

—————————————————————————————————————————

2. Now Open your dreamweaver and create a new page called login.php Here is the page and here is the code for creating that form with the two fields. After you have created your login page make a connection to your database. (Go to Connecting to Database Tutorial if you don’t know how to make a connection) If you have made a successful connection you should see your Table details in the Application window similar to the screenshot below.

————————————————————————————————————————–

3. While you are still in login.php page Choose Applications > Log In User.

——————————————————————————————————

4. Next you will be displayed with a pop up window where you have to make selections. First part of the window shows details of your form, second part your database and third part is a redirection process and finally restriction option based on your database table structure. This window is quite self explanatory just choose the right option from drop down menu. If you have a successful connection to your database your connection will be displayed in the Validate using connection section. If you don’t see your connection in the drop down menu then you have to check your connection again (Step 2).

For Restrict access based on choose Username and password and not Username, password and access level. This is because our table has only username and password fields. After you are done choose OK.
————————————————————————————————–

5. Check Application > Server Behaviors Panel and you should see your script name there now. You can double click on it and edit anytime again, in case if you want to redirect to different page…etc

——————————————————————————————————-

6. You are done! That was pretty easy huh? Go ahead and test your login.php and see if it will do what it supposed to do. Remember it will check against users table in your database so make sure you enter correct data, in our case it was admin admin for username and password respectively.

Have you experience using a computer then suddenly a blue screen appears with various texts, including a sentence that says physical dumping of memory.. and such? This error only appears at computers running in a Windows environment. Tech people usually call this the “BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH” because when the error occurs, the display will turn blue, the PC will freeze and will require rebooting. Making you lose any unsaved work. Your PC could be suffering from RAM problems or registry errors.

Prescription:

-          For the employees who are working in a company, call your IT support. They work great on these.

-          Run a full scan to check for any conflicts in your PC. Corruption of your registry is a possible reason.

-          Regular defragging and reformatting can also help in preventing this from occurring.

-          You might want to try to use a tool called ‘registry cleaner’ to go through your system and fix all the problems that are in there.

-          For individuals at home, before taking you computer to the computer technician, take note of the texts on the screen and browse the Net for other possible solutions.

Recently my laptop has received numerous threats of virus coming from our office network called WIN32Conficker.A worm and some of its aliases is given below;

Win32/Conficker.A (Microsoft), Crypt.AVL (AVG), Mal/Conficker-A (Sophos), Trojan.Win32.Pakes.lxf (F-Secure), Trojan.Win32.Pakes.lxf (Kaspersky), W32.Downadup (Symantec), Worm:Win32/Conficker.B (Microsoft), WORM_DOWNAD.A (Trend Micro)

I was shocked and worriedly thinking, “has my laptop has been infected?” I rushly looked for any solutions in the net about the said virus and some solutions. I’ve carefully red in the section of mcafee antivirus about the virus characteristics and how dangerous it is:

Quoted from Mcafee:

Virus Characteristics
When executed, the worm copies itself using a random name to the %Sysdir% folder.
(Where %Sysdir% is the Windows system folder; e.g. C:\Windows\System32)
It modifies the following registry key to create a randomly-named service on the affected syetem:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\{random}\Parameters\”ServiceDll” = “Path to worm”
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\{random}\”ImagePath” = %SystemRoot%\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs

Attempts to download a malware file from the remote website: (Rogue Russian site is up but not serving file anymore)
hxxp://trafficconverter.biz/[Removed]antispyware/[Removed].exe

Starts a HTTP server on a random port on the infected machine to host a copy of the worm.
Continuously scans the subnet of the infected host for vulnerable machines and executes the exploit. If the exploit is successful, the remote computer will then connect back to the http server and download a copy of the worm.
Analyzed malware does not have autorun or email capabilities.

Indications of Infection
This symptoms of this detection are the files, registry, and network communication referenced in the characteristics section.

Method of Infection
This worm exploits the MS08-067 Microsoft Windows Server Service vulnerability in order to propagate.

Machines should be patched and rebooted to protect against this worm re-infecting the system after cleaning.
Upon detection of this worm the system should be rebooted to clean memory correctly.
source taken: http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=153464

Quoted from Microsoft:
“[The worm] opens a random port between port 1024 and 10000 and acts like a web server. It propagates to random computers on the network by exploiting MS08-067. Once the remote computer is exploited, that computer will download a copy of the worm via HTTP using the random port opened by the worm. The worm often uses a .JPG extension when copied over and then it is saved to the local system folder as a random named dll.”

And hopefully, i found some fixes and solutions that can help us.

1. F-Secure Solution:

Removal tool specific to remove this conficker/Downadup worm, Download here = ftp://ftp.f-secure.com/anti-virus/tools/DownadupRemovalTool.zip

2. Mcafee provided solution:

- Users infected by W32/Conficker.worm should perform an On Demand Scan to remove remnants of the worm in memory using the latest DATs(Mcafee Site).
- Upon detection of W32/Conficker!mem and REBOOT, the W32/Conficker.worm malware components will be removed.

3. Trend Micro Solution:

Before deploying the sysclean package, you need to apply Microsoft MS08-067 Critical System Patch first.

Please do the following:1. Download and extract the sysclean package.

2. Download the latest Controlled Pattern File (CPR).

3. Download the latest Detection and Cleanup (Trend Micro Anti-Spyware) or the Ssapiptn.Da5 file.

4.Using GPO or any third party deployment tool (i.e. SMS or BigFix), copy items 1-3 to the infected computer.

5. Execute sysclean.com/FULLSILENT.

6. Reboot the infected computer.

Beyond of all solutions that has been provided, to ensure that you willl not be attacked by this virus again, make sure your Windows System is always updated (especially the Windows MS08-067 patch from October), also your Antivirus/Firewall Security.

I browse into the internet and found something very useful.. You can download streaming videos and save it in your pc!!

Are you tired of watching streaming videos coming from youtube and other streaming videos? One thing you wish is to download that video in to your hard drive and save it for future use.. Well, no problem! This might solve it.

This will work if your browser is Mozilla Firefox. (I believe Opera browser will work also)
1. In order to enable these scripts, you must first download and install Mozilla Firefox Extension, Greasemonkey. Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that lets you write bits of JavaScript to “fix up” broken web pages.

2. When you have successfully download and install the greasemonkey, restart your browser.

3. After Restart go to Tools in the menubar. You should see an option there named ‘greasemonkey’ and it must be checked ‘enable’. You should see also an “Install userscript” “Manage userscript”.

4. Next thing you must do is to install the Greasemonkey userscript. To download embedded videos/movies, you must install the script Unembed. (Click OK to install)(just click here and it will prompt to install this script) OR you could just click Tools > Install userscript and select the unembed script to install.

5. After these steps, try to visit site that has streaming videos you wanted to download. On the video, you should see a [download] link at the bottom or right side of the movie, allowing you to save the file into your computer.( Right click the [download] link and choose save as.

Enjoy downloading

Hi, I’ve been developing a flash website and i was challenge to work a series of animations with mouse tooltip. I’ve search through the net and luckily i found a very useful tutorial regarding it. Many thanks to Sidney de Koning(email: sidney@oeoe.nl) for providing us a very good tutorial.

This works on Actionscript 1 & 2:

Make three layers in your main timeline, called actions, caption
and button. Put this piece of actionscript in your actions layer:

function tooltip (string) {
xmouse = getProperty(“”, _xmouse);
ymouse = getProperty(“”, _ymouse);
duplicateMovieClip (“_root.tooltip”, “tooltip1″, 1);
tooltip1.tooltip = string;
setProperty (tooltip1, _x, xmouse);
setProperty (tooltip1, _y, ymouse);
startDrag (“_root.tooltip1″);
tooltip1.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
function remove_tooltip () {
stopDrag ();
removeMovieClip (“tooltip1″);
}

Now make a graphic and name it ‘caption’ give it two layes;
one with a nice background and another with a dynamic txtbox, multiline, wordwrap turned on
and give it the variable ‘tooltip’.
This is going to be your tooltip.

Now make a new Movieclip and call it caption_MC, leave the first frame blank with a
stop() action, in the second frame put your caption graphic you`ve just made and
also give it a stop() action.
Put this graphic about 25 pixels under the + ‘centercross’ (the point where x and y are zero).
This way you are creating the illusion that the tooltip is ‘floating’.
Put this MC on the main stage, doesn`t matter where. Give it the instance name ‘tooltip’.

Now make a button with some nice up-, over-, down-, and hit states,
put this in your main timeline with these actions :

on (rollOver) {
_root.tooltip(“This is a mouse following tooltip!”);
}
on (rollOut, dragOut) {
_root.remove_tooltip();
}
