Build windows applications using PHP!!!

WinBinder is an open source extension to PHP, the script programming language. It allows PHP programmers to easily build native Windows applications, producing quick and rewarding results with minimum effort. Even short scripts with a few dozen lines can generate a useful program, thanks to the power and flexibility of PHP.

	Large installed base of PHP programmers. No compiling and linking steps necessary: just code and run. Access to the vast range of existing PHP functions and extensions, including databases, graphics, web functions, XML, PDF, and much more. A small set of WinBinder functions encapsulates many complex aspects of the Windows API and makes programming for Windows an easy task. Provides 100% native Windows classes and controls. Interfaces directly to the Window API. This means fast execution, no extra libraries and no installation required. Supports both procedural and object-oriented programming models. High performance, compares favorably to most scripting languages. Produces standalone applications that can be easily installed and removed with no reboot. Small footprint. A simple Windows application, complete with the PHP runtime and SQLite extension, is smaller than 700 kB (zipped). A database-independent framework allows easy coding (no SQL knowledge is necessary) and smooth integration with the WinBinder code. No database server required if using SQLite. Does not need to use to the Windows registry, but may use it if necessary. PHP is a very popular scripting language that is used mostly for web development but is gaining popularity as a general-purpose scripting language. More Details

Download embedded swf flash file without any browser addon or software

You may often see some cool animations or graphics across the web. When you right click and try to save it, you couldn't. They are flash files. So what is the solution. Of course there are number of browser addons and softwares out there. But I think this is a much better trick to download the swf.

• First open the source of the web page where the flash file you want to download is located (Ctrl + U in Firefox).
• Now press Ctrl + F.
• Type .swf
• And thats it, you got the file name of the flash swf file.
• Now all you have to do is copy the file name and paste them right after the url of the webpage.
• The url must not include the file name or any parameter of the web page. For eg:- If you have a swf file flash.swf in the url
  http://www.example.com/php-example/index.php?page=10 then you may have to clear everything after http://www.example.com/php-example/ and add flash.swf
• Now the final url to download the swf looks like http://www.example.com/php-example/flash.swf
• Now run this url. Select File->Save Page as
• Thats it, you are done!!!
• This method will not work where the flash file is driven from an external data souce like xml.
  

Now, think you want to extract a particular image from that flash file. Its easy when you have flash decompilers around.

PDF to merge with Flash

TechCrunch says:

At the same time Adobe is launching Acrobat.com, it is releasing Acrobat 9—a major upgrade to one of its anchor desktop apps. the big news here is that for the first time, Adobe’s PDF-creating desktop software will supports Flash. So people can now create documents with embedded Flash movies from YouTube, or developers can design entire new skins for electronic documents using Adobe’s Flex framework—the same programming tool they use to create Web applications.

PDF documents made with Acrobat 9 also support collaboration among multiple authors and reviewers over the Internet, making them connected documents. Best of all, they no longer take forever to load. The next step is for Adobe to make it easy to turn any PDF into a Web page, and vice versa.

This technique may be very useful when you want to create fancy headings without rendering each heading with Photoshop? Here is a simple CSS trick to show you how to create gradient text effect with a PNG image (pure CSS, no Javascript or Flash).

Literally, you can apply this trick on any solid background color (as long your gradient color is the same as your background color).

• Now copy the code found in the text area below the text font you want
• And paste it in you site anywhere below body tag where you want them to appear.
