Magento and other shopping carts are there to make developing ecommerce applications easier and reduce development time. I have recently developed an ecommerce website from scratch and I can tell you its not easy. Not because the programming is hard but there is a lot of consideration and planning involved not to mention hours of testing.

I have been writing an article for the last day. I had it complete and was adding the project demo, when the page got refreshed or something happened, which then wiped my article and replaced it with the default. The draft copy now shows the default. Has my article been lost or s there a version somewhere I cant see.

I have been working on an article for the last 2 days. I was just adding the project files just before I published. Not sure what happened, but the article content reverted back to the default text that is shown for new articles. I cant seem to find an versions of this article. Is there any way of getting this article back or is that it?

Hi guys Hope someone can help with a question, Im not an asp.net developer so please bare with me. I created a very simple Singleton class, that is, its not thread safe. Now I would have though that the singleton class instance would only exist for a single page request. What I am finding is that my test singleton instance persists over several http requests. I wanted to develop a very small cms with a single db instance that exists only for each page request. So really my question is how does IIS keep the singleton instance alive for several page requests. :omg:

Thanks alot guys, you have made me see sense. The fact is nothing will ever change in my company. I think it's time to move on like somebody mentioned. Im going to go and install Windows 7 now, hopefully if its any good it will cheer me up. Have a nice weekend every one :)

I have actually tried this in the past but my boss was reluctant to aggree on some of my suggestions so I left it at that. I want to now give him a list of tasks which we will support and this list does not include doing someone elses work. Ive had this argument with him before and he always tells me that in every company the IT Support help with these administrative tasks.

Hi Eddy Thanks for your response. Surely admin is responsbile for this level of support. I can not imagine a particular individual to be knoweldegable in all areas of IT. I have asked a friend who works as an IT Support staff and he tells me, his job is to troubleshoot, install, config etc and not help users who are incapable of using basic software packages. Perhaps there are companies who merge IT Support with Admin Support, I dont know :doh:

Hi Guys I'm trying to get a general definition for the term "IT Support" that is, what are the job roles of the IT Support staff at your work. Basically, I manage a group of developers and at times we are all required to do some level of IT Support. We hate it, but its a part of the job description so apart from pulling faces, theres nothing much we can do. However for a long time now, we have been providing what I think is administrative support, i.e hellping users with basic MS Word usage such as setting paper margins, setting page numbers on documents, placing images in word documents etc. We have a team of young administrators and an admin manager and I believe it is their responsibility to provide this level of support. Recently the admin manager approached one of my developers to split a word document into several pages, Im thinking WTF.:mad: To cut a long story short, I am preparing for war with my managers to dispute the definition of IT Support. Ive tried to find a general description of IT Support on the internet with no luck. My developers are having to stop working on their projects to do this level of support quite frequently and the stress is begining to show. Can you imagine, your trying to debug a script and someone comes and tells you, their PC is not working becuase - when they type something in the middle of a sentance it deletes everything infront of the caret. I almost had a fit when I heard that one. It was from the admin manager. If anyone can offer any advice I would greatly appreciate it. :)

Put all the image extensions in an array then use the in_array() function to check if the mime type of the file is in the array. Uploading of file exposes your application to lots of security vulnerabilities, checking mime type is not a good method of filtering certain files as the mime type is determined by the browser. You should read about the security of file uploading.

Hi Guys I'm assuming your all trying to develop an interface to a mailbox which has already be setup. Php provides the imap dll for windows which you can use to establish a connection to a mailbox. Alternatively if you know the raw commands for either imap or pop3 and you don't mind getting dirty then you can code it your self.
