I posted PHP connect DBF file with a sample. Now Pierre left the message and asked why error comes up.
I doing some tests and get the answer.
1) The database.dbf is reserved name.
2) The field name is always capital.
1) Start early and invest regularly
Regular investing puts the power of compound growth on your side. And the earlier you start, the more you may have in the future.
2) Reduce taxes today
RRSPs are designed to help build your financial future and the contributions have the added benefit of being tax deductible. By making RRSP contributions on every pay day, you can take advantage of potential and immediate tax savings - by asking your employer to deduct less tax off your paycheque.
I recommend TaxCut by H&R Block
to prepare your 2007 tax return for USA residents.
3) Think global
As Canada makes up only about 4% of global stock market capitalization1, global investments can play an important role in reducing risk and increasing return potential. A portfolio made up of several types of investments from different countries may be stronger over the long term - and less exposed to risk - than one that's invested in a single country, asset class or type of investment. That's why a sensible approach for most investors is a globally diversified portfolio that includes Canadian and international stocks, combined with fixed income investments.
4) Consider an asset mix strategy
It is important to have the right asset mix as studies show that asset allocation is the key driver of a portfolio's performance. 2 Typically, as you get closer to retirement your mix should become more conservative to emphasize asset preservation over growth. Conversely, younger investors with more time before retirement can afford to be more aggressive in their approach.

Google introduced it Chart API last December.
For reference, I noted here my tips.
I need a 3D Pie chart. The code should looks like below:
The code can break down as shown here:
"cht=p3" is the chart type, in this case, a 3D pie chart.
"chd=t:50,10,40" are the chart values, text-encoded, and separated by a comma.
The number should be ranged from 0 to 100.
"chs=500x200" is the custom chart size, 500 by 200 pixels.
"chl=PR|HTTP Status|Whois" are the different labels for the pie chart sections, separated via the pipe character. Chinese is not supported by Chart API.
chart types include: line charts, bar charts, pie charts, Venn diagrams & scatterplots.
Dreamhost has a one-click install function. It is easy to install a new program. Now I will go through the Joomla! 1.5 installation.
In the Web Panel of Dreamhost, choose googies > One-Click Install
Choose the Joomla! 1.5 and site/directory to be installed, and also give the name of database.
Later, I receive an email tell the steps of installation. I added some screenshot on it to make it vivid.
Site: http://www.yourdomain.com/
Now visit the site to finish your installation with these settings:
1 : Language
select 'en-GB - English (United Kingdom)' and click Next
2 : Pre-installation Check
click Next
3 : License
click Next
I have some site on the Dreamhost. To monitor the traffic and performance, I have Awstats on site and runing many cron jobs every day. I have the experience of how to install AwStats on the Ubuntu server.
The cron job is runing well on the Dreamhost server. The problem is I will receive tons of email about the job status.
Actually, I don't need these emails. If the job is completed successfully, the Awstats report should be updated. I checked the report often. So the fail of job is not my concern.
To disable cron emails, just add one line code as shown below:
First SSH server.
add this line to the top of your cron file:
That's simple. No more cron emails coming.
To repare the corrupted MyISAM tables, just cd to the directory that holds the MyISAM datafiles, then run this:
If it doesn't work, try this command,
The above two commands can fix most of the problems of MyISAM tables.
MySQL is very popular. Many open source or free software use MySQL as their main database engine.
To make our data safe, please remember to backup your data regularly.
There are two methodologies you can use to back up MySQL databases without spending money.
The first is to create a series of SQL statements that rebuild one or more databases. This is usually accomplished via the mysqldump script.
The second is to copy the database files themselves if you can ensure they're not being changed during the backup. This is currently possible only for MyI*SAM archive tables using the mysqlhotcopy script.
Let's go into the details of how to back up MySQL database.
Backing up MyISAM tables
The folloing command creates a SQL dump of all MySQL databases in a given instance, locks all tables as necessary, flushes the logs, and writes the name of the current binary log to the output. The second command couses MySQL to switch binary logfiles so that you can back up the logfiles that was used during the backup.
No matter which type of selector we want to use in jQuery - be it CSS, XPath, or custom - we always start with the dollar sign and parentheses: $()
$() Factory Function
Let's see some more common examples:
A tag name: $('p') gets all paragraphs in the document.
An ID: $('#some-id') gets the single element in the document that has the corresponding some-id ID.
A class: $('.some-class') gets all elements in the document that have a class of some-class.

I have a HTTP status check online tool here. It is made by PHP with cURL extension.
The trouble is some responses are good. Someone tell me that the url should be 302 redir or 200 Ok, but the tool shows 403 Forbidden.
After doing some search and study, I find the problem of some server that don't accept the Header request only.
Anytime you set the option...
PHP Code:
CURLOPT_NOBODY automatically shifts the request to a HEAD, type request, so most servers don't allow HEAD type requests, results most times in 403 errors, so you use...
PHP Code:
So cURL, will send the request as GET or POST, but still only really make a HEAD request because the CURLOPT_NOBODY flag was set to true, which causes cURL to read only up to the end of the response header.
1) $() function is actually a factory for jQuery object. It is the object encapsulates zero or more DOM dlements.
2) .addClass() and .removeClass()
They are fairly self-explanatory.
Its only parameter is the name of the class to add or remove.
Here are two samples.
From today, I will start to learn jQuery framework. I compared the popular five Ajax toolkits, including jQuery. Now I choose jQuery as my Ajax toolkit.
I will build a Inout Board system by PHP, MySql and jQuery. To replace current Pentacle InOut Board based on the ASP and Access.
There is category, Ajax, in this blog. I changed it to jQuery to focus on the jQuery only.
OK, I will put some notes or tips of jQuery into David Yin's Blog - jQuery.

How to config it to Chinese interface?
Another security upgrade is out for WordPress. This one is fairly urgent, as it allows other members of your blog to "hijack" posts not written by them.
From WordPress Development Blog.
WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release. If you have registration enabled a flaw was found in the XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow a user to edit posts of other users on that blog. In addition to fixing this security flaw, 2.3.3 fixes a few minor bugs. If you are interested only in the security fix, download the fixed version of xmlrpc.php and copy it over your existing xmlrpc.php. Otherwise, you can get the entire release here.
Please upgrade to the latest version as soon as possible.
When I am doing some programing, I may need the Regular Expression rule to validate the data user submit.

Microsoft has officially entered a bid to buy Yahoo for $44.6 billion, just days after Yahoo cut staff by 1,000 employees. And Microsoft is clearly hoping to use Yahoo to gang up on search giant Google. On a conference call Friday, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer called a combination of Microsoft and Yahoo a more "credible" alternative to Google in the online advertising and services market. "By combining the assets of Microsoft and Yahoo we can offer a more competitive choice for consumers, advertisers and publishers," he said.
Yahoo's stock is up nearly 50% (28.71 per share) in morning trading.
