Below is the process to send image as email content.

Send mails from your domain

Your hosting provided need to create one mail server for your domain then only mails sent from your domain name like from : mail@mysite.com, otherwise some default mail server details displayed in mails header information.

To check is mail server set for your domain then run below commands at dos prompt.

ping smtp.mysite.com

ping mail.mysite.com

Cross domain data exchange

You can use XML language to transfer large data from one domain to other. Suppose domain-x wants to send data from its database to domain-y. Then domain-x will generate xml file for the database and send it to the domain-y via post method for security purpose. Upon receipt of xml file from domain-x, the domain-y will store that xml file in one folder and create one new row in received_xml table, and call a xmlparser script through cron job to extract information from the xml files and store in database and then move that parsed xml file to some other folder(named like parsed) and remove the record from receive_xml table.

For parsing there are so many free scripts available in php,ruby etc., xmltoarray is one of the technique.

Linux Shell Scripting Secrets

URL push and URL pull to send / retrieve information between cross domains

Hello friend,
Today I have done a small but very useful functionality i.e URL push and URL pull means you can send information to remote url and retieve information from other url. Getting information is easy and i think all developers know it, but sending information is little tricky when we don't know how the post variable names.
Below is the code to track the post parameter names and values in targetsite.
//extract($_POST);
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value)
{
echo $key.'='.$value.'
';
}
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
/*Output:
key = value
key = value
etc..,
http://from-site-name.com/filename
*/
?>
So here in foreach loop you will get the post param names and values. So you can store in db with table structure as id autoincrement, key, value, referrer,posted_on. OR use xml file to store the information in structured way like valuevalueetc..,

Ex: http://formsite-name.com/postinfo.php
##################################################################
form action="http://targetsite.com/getvalues.php" method="post"
Name:input type="text" name="name"
Address:input type="text" name="address"
Email:input type="text" name="email"
input type="submit" value="Submit"
/form
#####################################################################

When user submits the above form the remote script (i.e mentioned in form action will execute) here it is at http://targetsite.com/getvalues.php
//extract($_POST);
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value)
{
echo $key.'='.$value.'
';
}
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
/*Output:
name = postedname
address = postedaddress
email = postedemail
http://formsite-name.com/postinfo.php
*/
?>

Wordpress Vs Drupal

Hi, here is my view about where to use wordpress and where to use drupal.

Wordpress
# If your application doesn't contain so many dynamic content forms and have to manage some static pages of information and need a bloging system.

It should suitable company portfolio sites and simple to medium level websites.

Drupal
# If you have multiple dynamic content types (press releases, news articles, blog posts, etc.). Drupal is great at allowing you to create this stuff on the fly, with Wordpress you are hacking things together.
# If your site has more than a two template design structure (homepage and second levels).
# If you have numerous content blocks on the homepage or in sidebars that you will be editing frequently. Drupal’s block system is great at this kind of stuff.
# If you are trying to start small and expect your site to add tons of features/content moving forward.
It should suitable for complex websites which involves so many modules.

Agile method in software development

Agile method is nothing but building software with incremental or interactive work strategies known as sprits i.e building application by involving number of people or teams and push the work into public when considerable amount of work done. And can be able to roll back to any previous version of the application if found any thing wrong or unhappy with the new version of the appliction when some one or team push their work recently.

This approach is the better one when compare to waterfall, or traditional sequential development.In older days A project could be developed much like an automobile on an assembly line, in which each piece is added in sequential phases. This means that every phase of the project must be completed before the next phase can begin. Thus, developers first gather all of a project's requirements, then complete all of its architecture and design, then write all of the code, and so on.

In this scenario, If any thing went wrong in the development stage, can't revert it back and company has spent time and money to create a software that no one wants.

Whereas agile methodology helps a lot to the interactive development mode.
