Extract compress files on Server using PHP

Hey All,

Sometimes we need to upload large files and folders to server and it takes long time to complete. To make this process faster and simpler you can uncompress the files using one line of code using PHP.

<? exec("gunzip -x filename.zip"); ?>

You first need to upload the zip on server, make sure to give proper path in PHP code. 

You can also compress Server files using below command.

<? exec("zip -x filename.zip  Foldername"); ?>

Please note, execution of above code tested on PHP running on Linux / Unix Server.

Are parents really responsible for their children's bad habits?

Yesterday, when I was going home from office, I was at Rickshaw Stand waiting for Rickshaw and there were lorry peoples,suddenly I noticed one incident, where a couple with their little boy,might be 6th or 7th year old came to Rickshaw Stand. There was water lorry also, who was selling water pouch. The little boy went to the water lorry, the lorry man was busy in arranging other bags of water pouch, little boy took the water pouch and came to his parents. His Parents were seeing the pouch in the boy's hand and ask from where have you taken, he just pointed his hand to lorry. In spite of going back to lorry man and giving back the pouch or making payment, he just stood there and put the pouch into his bag. He had not even ask his son, why did he take the pouch? or taught him that, he should not do that. This is very bad, Parents are hiding their children's mistakes. These small and silly mistakes can create big troubles in life.

ServerIPAddress : This is the IP Address of the database server 4. 3306 : Port 5. DatabaseName : Name of Database So I thought this is perfect for connectivity.. Oops... but garbage value displayed when I fetched data. So what to do? I had spent 1 week to find out what is the problem? Where is the problem? Finally, I found the solution, Need to pass parameter for Unicode support.
