Famous Internet Programmer

Not everyone will like changing his email address to get rid of spam because many people share their email addresses with their friends, colleagues, subscribers, and customers. They also may have business cards and other material with the email addresses printed on them. Moreover, getting a new email address won’t free you from spam forever. It will work the first time while your email is new. But as far as you will be using it to communicate with your contacts, the spam flow coming to that email address will be growing. So, how to combat spam? Where is the right solution? One of the effective ways to combat spam is using an anti-spam filter. Fortunately, there are a lot of anti-spam tools available on the Internet.

I am using the anti-spam filter is called SpamCombat. For me, it’s a “must-have” tool. I’ve been using it for about 2 years and my statistics show that 80% of emails I receive are deleted by SpamCombat.

The particularity of SpamCombat is that it works at the source i.e. it connects directly to your inbox on the server and manages the emails there. It’s not the same when you are using the filters in your email software, for example Outlook or Thunderbird. The major difference is that SpamCombat deletes spam and junk emails on the email server so that you never have to download them. Using an anti-spam filter in Outlook, for instance, would mean that you have to pull down the messages onto your computer first and then analyze and manage them accordingly. This may pose a threat if some emails contain viruses.

SpamCombat is easy to use. It’ll take just a few minutes to set it up. The downloadable version of SpamCombat will never expire so you have plenty of time to decide if it is working for you. SpamCombat is provided with 6 filters, which detect spam emails with great accuracy and precision. You can customize the filters for your needs. On the company’s user forum there is a topic dedicated to SpamCombat filters: http://www.justlan.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=937

The program users gratefully share their filters with others and I found many useful anti-spam filters there. I added some of them to my SpamCombat installation and the amount of spam that was identified increased to 80%. This means that on average, 3 of every 10 emails I receive are legitimate and are allowed through by SpamCombat. The rest are deleted at the server and I don’t have to spend time downloading them. This is a big deal if you are using dialup access to the Internet.

There is a concept of a blacklist and a whitelist. You can “whitelist” and “blacklist” the emails by any field from the message header (not only by the From field where the message sender’s email address is) and by any word or phrase from the message content. SpamCombat will allow all emails through that are on the whitelist, and it will mark for deletion or automatically delete all those that are on the blacklist. Adding or removing someone from the whitelist or blacklist is a very simple point and click exercise.

SpamCombat also allows using wildcards and regular expressions to set legitimate filters up. For example, if you specify all emails coming from your company domain name as being legitimate, then all messages from your colleagues will be allowed through without you having to specify each person. You can achieve this by using a wildcard setting such as “*@youworkdomain.com”. This can also be used to blacklist an entire domain such that all messages are immediately marked for deletion or automatically deleted depending on your settings.

There is also the Bayesian filter, self-learning system based on legitimate and spam emails you receive. I trained the Bayesian filter well and now it identifies my legitimate and spam emails in the proper way.

SpamCombat also has more advanced filters. One of them is known as “DNSBL filter”. There are servers on the internet which list known spam addresses. When you receive a message from one of these addresses, SpamCombat automatically marks it as spam without your filters even being invoked. This is a remarkable filter. It identifies about 10% of spam emails that I get.

Another advanced filter is called Complex Filter. This filter is based on the VBScript. If you are familiar with the VBScript, you can write a script and add it to the Complex Filter. A nice filter is described there: http://www.glocksoft.net/sc/discover-amazingly-powerful-anti-spam-filter/

The software configuration is very flexible. You can choose a deletion mode for spam emails by yourself: you can specify the emails to be deleted automatically without your participation, or you can have the program mark them for deletion but let you preview them just in case. This is important at the beginning until you tailor the program for your mail.

You can also set SpamCombat to move spam emails to the internal program trash or delete them permanently. The emails will be stored in the trash for a number of days depending on your settings. There is also a way to recover an email from the trash and receive it with your regular email client.

SpamCombat is independent software and does not interfere with your email client. It sits in the system tray and does its work thoroughly. On my computer, it checks my inbox every 20 minutes and notifies me that new emails arrived. I then review them and do a cleanout. I have my email client setup to only receive messages when I instruct it to so that SpamCombat has the most opportunity to do its work.

SpamCombat is an indispensable tool in my email arsenal. If spam is a vital problem for you, it could do likewise for you. Download your free copy today and use it for as long as you want to fight spam on your main email account.

I’d like to be able to run/test my PHP programs on my desktop, instead of constantly uploading them to my server to run, and have to deal with constant use of phpMyAdmin. So how can I run a php environment and mySQL database on my Windows Vista desktop? (Free programs, if possible.)

You can install Wamp Server (http://www.wampserver.com/en/) on any Windows Machine. You must then ensure that the computer is on, when you want to use the site!

This comes with PHP & MYSQL built in ready for you. You should then navigate to where it installed to the htdocs directory and put your code their.

The WAMP icon bottom right of screen, and click "PHPMyAdmin" this will open up mysql, so you can create databases!

Once you have created database, navigate to http://localhost/ here you will find your newly created website!

Once ready to go live on your network right click on the WAMP icon in task-bar and click "Put On-line". This will then make your local IP address (ask network admin, its in your settings) show your forum.

Now on any computer, in your network you will have your site running from your IP.

If you wish, You can open your internet firewall and put the forum on-line too. So your network can access the forum world wide.

OK yes I’m an idiot…
Here’s the part of the code I’m having trouble with:

for ($cointoss = rand(1,2); $toss = $toss;) {

if ($cointoss = 1) {
$heads = 1;
print "Number of heads, $heads <br />";
}

else {
$tails = 2;
print "Number of tails, $tails <br />";
}

}

//end of my crapy code…

I’ve already set the $toss in the form. It’s giving me an infinite loop or whatever. What I’m tryin to do is have the user type in the number of tosses they want it to do (which is going to be defined as $toss) and then have it count how many heads and tails in total and out put it back to the user. Like “Number of heads, 10” “Number of tails, 10” “You flipped the coin 20 times”. That kinda thing.

Please don’t give me the answer straight up, it’s for class I don’t want to cheat. What I want is some help as to what the hell I’m doing wrong. The teacher tried explaining it to me, but I didn’t get it and I REALLY had to be somewhere so I didn’t ask for a clarification. PLEASE someone help me!!!!!!
Now I’m getting:
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_WHILE in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\lab4.php on line 38
"

Here’s my code now:

<?

if (empty($toss)) {

print <<<HERE

<form name="form1" method="post" action="lab4.php">
<table width="500" border="1">
<tr>
<td> Coin Toss Simulator </td>
<td><input type="text" name="toss"></td>
<td><input type="submit"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

HERE;
}

else {

$cointoss = rand(1,2);
$atoss = 0

while ($atoss < $toss;) {
$atoss++;

if ($cointoss == 1) {
$heads = 1;
print "Number of heads, $heads <br />";
}

else {
$tails = 2;
print "Number of tails, $tails <br />";
}

}

print <<<HERE

<a href="lab4.php">flip coin again</a><br />

HERE;
}

?>
I changed it to a while … and I tried out the == …
but yeah…

Um, I’ll try what that dude said about just making it count 10 flips, maybe if I get it to do that then I can figure out what I NEED it to be doing … I’ll post up the stuff again soon … thx 4 the help
OR …

What about:

/*
changed again but now it’s back at a never ending loop AHhhhhhhh!
*/

else {

for ($cointoss = rand(1,2); $toss == $toss;) {

if ($cointoss = 1) {
$heads = 1;
$heads++;
print "Number of heads, $heads <br />";
}

else {
$tails = 2;
$tails++;
print "Number of tails, $tails <br />";
}

}

// end of code
ok I’ll brb I’m gonna make it just freakin count …

Your for loop is infinite because you need a double equals for the $toss=$toss (it should say if $toss == $toss) part of your for loop. You also need == for the if statement. A single equals is for assignment which means it returns true in a condition if it does not create an error. Also without doing something to toss inside that for loop it will either not run at all, or run infinitely.

Hope that helps

I was looking at books for game development on the Books-A-Million web site. I saw a book called Game Programming with PHP. Does anyone know of an online article/web site that teaches game development with php?

I would not recommend that you go after game programming with php as it is a server side language which makes it limited when it comes to dynamic responses to user actions and graphical interface.

Generally, pay his site a visit as it has much about game programming.

I would like to create a web page ( using free domain offering sites like 110mb.com) where chatting is available .
How to code chat in php?
Since php gets input only via forms not like c or java. But in chatting continuously inputs have to be processed.

If you have code just copy and paste it.
But pls do not provide any URL.
Or you just teach me how to implement chat.

Thank you for answering .

The World Wide Web has always been an entity that needed a little bit of help in order to run effectively. As long as there has been the Internet, there have been tools to help keep it running well. More times than not, those tools are the ones associated with Linux. Much of web development is based upon the system of LAMP development, which consists of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. This system makes up better than two-thirds of all Internet servers.

In short, LAMP development tools are effective because they offer developers with the ability and freedom to do a lot of different things in website design. Generally, the open source underpinnings of the system of the LAMP tools offer the ability to design websites and databases that are both effective and creative. These tools would be described as being very user-friendly, making them a popular choice of web designers world wide.

LAMP development tools have grown in popularity because of their availability and their adaptability. Both admirable features in a web design tool program, these things offer easy access for web designers. In addition, the LAMP development system has taken the lead as the top web design program because it is continually evolving. The system takes suggestions at many times from the folks who use it. Their effectiveness lies in the fact that they cater directly to the needs of the customers. The system constantly changes and improves itself because it takes to heart the needs of the devoted and informed customer base. Nowhere else in the web hosting and development market does that happen.

With LAMP development technology, web designers can get down to what they do best. They can focus on using creative measures to design and produce great websites. The added advantage of having this system is that the designers can take their focus off of administrative work and onto what they do best. This allows a certain amount of flexibility for a web design business.

The specifics of the LAMP development program all revolve around the Linux system. While it is best to have all of the programs working in unison, it is not completely necessary. The Linux part is the most important, though. The Linux distribution system is an important, but perplexing part of the equation. With so many different types of Linux out there for consumption, it can sometimes be confusing on which one to choose. The best and most effective of all of the Linux systems is probably the Anaconda-based installation system. The advantage with this program is that it allows for the configuration of many different types of hardware options.

While Linux might be important, no one can overlook the Apache portion of the LAMP development program. This open source tool is effective because of its rich code base and its prevalence on the web. The Apache element of the program is effective because it requires really no extra work in order to install. In addition, Apache is something highly configurable and easy to modify.

The MySQL database is an interesting part of the equation. This open source tool has almost revolutionized the way that web pages are hosted. This tool has given web designers an even greater measure of versatility because it allows for real-time web hosting. This allows users to create dynamic websites that are fully functional.

The LAMP development system is something that has always powered the World Wide Web. Combining the powers of Linux with the other features gives web designers the ability to create versatile websites. This system will continue to be powerful tools for web designers as long as the changes of users are noted and implemented.
