Mostly, I will be busy to blog anything in the upcoming days, the last activity for me this year and this semester was done today, al-7amdolelah it went just fine. I had a session in Faculty of Computers and Information today, held by depiak, titled “PHP in Action”. It was an introductory session for PHP and the web development track. It was supposed to be a live coding session, but I enjoyed talking to the audience a lot till I had no time to actually code the application we were supposed to code. The session didn’t talk about php only which is a good thing, we went into many topics, like linux and the open source concept, and what really relaxed me that the audience liked it and didn’t get bored of the off-topic discussions .
Just before this semester and this year end, I just need to thank Allah for eveything, al-7amdolelah, al-7amdolelah, al-7amdolelah. It was a great year, ups and downs bas kol 7aga mn 3and Rabena 5eer. I hope the next one will be more and more succeful, full of happiness for all of us, me, my AnGel, family and friends. I wish we all do good in our exams, although I’m somehow worried this semester, as I didn’t start studying till now, which is really late for the final semester exams, but I needed an achievement before just getting into the exams mood, as I think it will help more, so I managed to hold the previous mentioned session.
Study well, do your best and may Allah help us all. Thanks for passing by.
If you have noticed, I have been working on my bLOG’s SEO for some time. To make a crowling web site like Google to know that it’s actually your web site, it needs some work. Stuff related to SEO and your right markup of the website’s content, all which facilitates the job of the crawler (Bot). What really confuses me is that yahoo knows that this is Ibrahim Abdel Fattah and Ibrahim Abdel Fattah Mohamed web site, but google doesn’t. Google actually thinks that my LinkedIn and Facebook pages are the best which describes me. They admit that this is “bingorabbit’s bLOG”, but not Ibrahim Abdel Fattah’s. I admit that they both of them crawl my site in an ordinary way and they got no troubles - using Google Web Master Tools -, Yahoo and Google bots consider my website another home where they resides in most of time.
It’s important to have your website points to your name, not your nickname, I’m bingorabbit. but I’m also Ibrahim Abdel Fattah which is most used in a bussiness environment, that’s why I care about such issue.
WOW, and really WOW, although it looks similar to firefox, but let’s talk seriously, IT ROCKS! Yesterday, I knew that Google has released the beta version of Chrome, Google’s Web Browser. Although I was shocked when I knew that the Linux version is not released yet, but I had to give it a try - I’m already giving it a try while typing this post -. The browser is fabulous and I expect it to be the best in less than one year. It has a lot of GREAAAT features, trying not to look to the GUI capabilities, when I saw this:
Chrome Memory Management
I was amazed!..So, try to have a look at the whole story.. and you have to watch this video..
I’m really waiting for the linux version, I think it will be extremely fast because of linux task management settings which I think can highly be utilized with such application.
One of the most amazing features in php is how it shows errors to the developer, you might think of it as a GPS which tells you exactly where you have to go ; Line Number, character and the error itself..CHARM!
Through the whole previous 2 years, I didn’t use error reporting at all, because it was off by default on my localhost - I use Fedora with Apache, php and MySQL installed as my localhost,, I even installed phpMyAdmin . -. I didn’t even mind to set it on, may be because I didn’t right that HUGE script that I may search for an error in and get lost. I have to tell that this really enhances your skills a bit, because you become more into code trying to figure out the semi-colon that you forgot and it terminated the script with a blank screen. Anyway, today I thought about giving it a try so I had to do it manually so you should do the following:
$ su -
- then enter the root's password and press enter -
# vi /etc/php.ini
Search for “Error handling” (type /Error handling and press enter in vi), this is where the error handling and logging configuration block starts. Try to find the statement where it says:
;error_reporting = E_ALL
If it had a semi-colon (;) in the beginning, just remove it, if there where no semi-colons - the common situation - , go to the next step.
Next, search for “display_error” (type /display_errors and press enter in vi), mostly you will find this equals Off so you will find it saying:
display_errors = Off
Change the “Off” to “On”, save the configuration file ( Shift+ZZ in vi) and issue the following command to restart the web server service:
.
where they resides in most of time.
