  • PHP Introduction
    PHP PHP ─ Introduction PHP started out as a small open source project that evolved as more and more people found out how useful it was. Rasmus Lerdorf unleashed the first version of PHP way back in 1994. PHP is a recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor". PHP is a server side scripting language that is embedded in HTML. It is used to manage dynamic content, databases, session tracking, even build entire e- commerce sites. It is integrated with a number of popular databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase, Informix, and Microsoft SQL Server. PHP is pleasingly zippy in its execution, especially when compiled as an Apache module on the Unix side. The MySQL server, once started, executes even very complex queries with huge result sets in record-setting time. PHP supports a large number of major protocols such as POP3, IMAP, and LDAP. PHP4 added support for Java and distributed object architectures (COM and CORBA), making n-tier development a possibility for the first time. PHP is forgiving: PHP language tries to be as forgiving as possible. PHP Syntax is C-Like. Common Uses of PHP PHP performs system functions, i.e. from files on a system it can create, open, read, write, and close them. The other uses of PHP are: PHP can handle forms, i.e. gather data from files, save data to a file, thru email you can send data, return data to the user. You add, delete, modify elements within your database thru PHP. Access cookies variables and set cookies. Using PHP, you can restrict users to access some pages of your website.

  • Thoughts on V. Mathesius' Conception of the Word-Order System in English Compared with That in Czech)
    JAN FIRBAS FEOM COMPARATIVE WORD-ORDER STUDIES (Thoughts on V. Mathesius' Conception of the Word-Order System in English Compared with that in Czech) The study of word-order was a life-long interest of Professor Vilem MATHESIUS (1882—1945), the founder of the Prague Linguistic School. At the beginning of his academic career, he took it up in a series of articles (Slvdie), pursuing it later in a number of further papers (see Soupis), the last of which appealed three years before his death. It presented a summary of his researches into the word order of English as compared with that of Czech. It is this last paper of Prof. M., entitled Ze srovndvacich sludii slovoslednych (From Comparative Word-Order Studies), that will be the starting point of the present discussion. (1) Endeavouring to continue in Prof. M.'s word-order studies, wc propose to examine the solutions and suggestions offered by it. We should like to do so in the light of our own researches as well as of those of others, and in this way to survey the field that has been covered by these researches since the publication of the paper almost a quarter of a century ago. We do not, however, intend to submit an exhaustive treatment of all the problems touched upon'by Prof. M. It is the general conception of his paper, not the details, that we shall be concerned with here. (2) Nor can we discuss the place Prof. M.'s word-order studies occupy in the development of linguistic research. (3) Let us only briefly remark that Prof.

The use of an owl displayed is a step from period practice. Creature Twyne Dragon. Device. Per pale argent and sable all semy of fishhooks bendwise counterchanged. Please see the Cover Letter for a discussion on fishhooks. Desiderata Drake. Name. Maol Duín Ó Duinn. Name. Submitted as Máel-dúin O’Duinn, the submitter requested a name authentic for 15th C Ireland. As submitted, the name is unregisterable since the byname mixes the English patronymic marker O’ with the Irish patronym Duinn in violation of RfS III.1.a. This can be fixed by changing the marker to the Irish Ó. This change was specifically allowed by the submitter. The given name Máel-dúin is documented to before the 13th C; it is a Middle Irish form of the name inappropriate for use in the 15th C. The Annals of the Four Masters has a Magnus mac Maoile Duin in an entry for 1486. Irish bynames that use mac in this period are typically true patronymics; Magnus’s father almost certainly bore the given name Maol Duin. The normalized Early Modern Irish form of this name is Maol Duín; precedent holds that accents in Gaelic names must either be used consistently or dropped consistently. We have changed the name to Maol_Duín Ó Duinn, a fully Early Modern Irish form appropriate for the 15th C, in order to register it and to fulfill the submitter’s request for authenticity.

Identifying Basic Constituent Order in Old Tamil: Issues in historical linguistics with Special Reference to Tamil Epigraphic texts (400-650 CE) 1 Appasamy Murugaiyan Paris, France [email protected] Abstract Why and how languages change over time have been the major concerns of the historical linguistics. The Dravidian comparative linguistics in the last few decades has arrived at excellent results at different levels of language change: phonology, morphology and etymology. However the field of historical syntax remains to be explored in detail. Change or variation in word order type is one of the most important areas in the study of historical linguistics and language change.

  • MM — a Macro Package ______For Generating Documents
    MM — A Macro Package for Generating Documents ________________________ 1. INTRODUCTION This document is the user’s guide and reference manual for the Memorandum Macros (MM), a general- purpose package of text formatting macros for use with the UNIX system text formatters troff and nroff. The user must be familiar with the UNIX system and with the use of an editor. Some familiarity with the request summary in the Troff User’s Manual is helpful. A Troff Tutorial provides a general overview of formatter capabilities, while Troff User’s Manual provides detailed information as well as a summary of requests. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of MM is to provide a unified, consistent, and flexible tool for producing many common types of documents. Although the UNIX system provides other macro packages for various specialized formats, MM has become the standard, general-purpose macro package for most documents. MM can be used to produce: • Letters • Reports • Technical Memoranda • Released Papers • Manuals • Books The uses of MM range from single-page letters to documents of several hundred pages in length, such as user guides, design proposals, etc. 1.2 Conventions Each section of this memorandum explains a single facility of MM. In general, the earlier a section occurs, the more necessary it is for most users. Some of the later sections can be completely ignored if MM defaults are acceptable. Likewise, each section progresses from normal-case to special-case facilities. Read a section in detail only until there is enough information to obtain the desired format, then skim the rest of it because some details may be of use to just a few people.

  • 1 Issues with the Decimal Separator in Compound Creator (CC) We Have DWSIM 4.0 Installed in the Computer Classrooms, S
    1 Issues with the decimal separator in Compound Creator (CC) We have DWSIM 4.0 installed in the computer classrooms, since we do the installation once in a semester (starting in February), so we haven’t updated the software in the classroom (though I have 4.3 in my desktop). With version 4.0, a team of students “created “ succinic acid with CC. They used the comma as decimal separator in Windows and in DWSIM, including CC. They used the experimental boiling point of succinic acid (they introduced 508,15 K, probably unnecessary decimal figures). However, when they added the database and created a stream of pure succinic acid, the model gave an error, failing to calculate the VLE in the stream (NRTL Nested Loops). When we edited de CC file, the boiling point in the General properties tab was shown as 5015: The comma had disappeared. And this seemed to be the source of the error. We fixed it by defining the dot as decimal separator in Windows and introducing 508.15 K in CC. Then it worked. I tried to reproduce the error some days later in DWSIM 4.3, but all worked perfectly: comma in Windows and comma in DWSIM including CC. Just an example of how the use of comma or dot can be a bit confusing for the user. Also, it seems that Compound Creator in DWSIM 4.3 allows to use the comma as decimal separator. I attach a PDF with the details of “everything apparently OK” with the comma in CC in 4.3.
