Drupal - Best CMS I have ever seen
2008-04-11 07:50:00 Drupal is an open source Content Management System (CMS). Few weeks ago I discovered Drupal and have started loving it. Most of the time I use my own framework to develop sites. I made that framework with Smarty Template and ADODB library. But this does not satisfy my all needs as I have to develop a site from the scratch with it. I was looking for a better framework or CMS. I tried Joomla, it is also a very good CMS. But I have found that I need to do lots of work to customize it. I think Joomla is very good if you want it only for CMS solution. But I need a system to use it both as CMS & a framework.In this case I have found, Drupal is the best. At the first sight I love it for it's simplicity but powerful environment. Another great thing I like about Drupal is it's community support, which is very large and strong. Thousands of Module are available in Drupal site contributed by the community. Most of the time you do not need to develop a functionality by yourself, just down... More About: Drupal
PHP Email Attachment Script
2008-03-15 06:31:00 I was searching for an easy php email attachment script over net. I found a few scripts but none them able to meet my need. Most of those scripts can send one attachment. But I need to send multiple files. Then I thought to develop a script by myself. To write this function I took help from few examples that I found by searching Google. I've checked this script with Gmail, Yahoo & Outlook. Hope it will work with other email clients.Here is the email function which can able to send multiple attachment:function send_email($to, $from, $from_name, $subject, $message, $attachments=false){ $headers = "From: ".$from_name."<".$from."> "; $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$from_name."<".$from."> "; $headers .= "Return-Path: ".$from_name."<".$from."> "; $headers .= "Message-ID: <".time()."-".$from."> "; $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion(); $msg_txt=""; $email_txt = $message; $semi_rand = md5(time()); $mime_boundary =...

Freelang Dictionary - Helps Me to Get More Projects
2008-02-01 06:37:00 Last night I got a new project invitation from RentACoder. It is a template integration project into osCommerce. Template screenshot was attached with the bid. It is for a French e-commerce site. I noticed that no one bid on this as it is not in English though the amount was good enough. Then I place my bid and have got it immediately, although I do not know French. The only two languages I know are Bengali & English, but I completed several French language sites as well as other languages sites before with the help of online dictionary. Today I searched for a free desktop tool and I've just got a nice one - Freelang Dictionary .

Create Expandable Post Summary in Blogger
2008-01-31 09:29:00 I posted this same tutorial into my itsafun.blogspot.com. I am posting it again to let you know about this nice trick. Here you go -I have setup several blog site using blogger or blogspot. I like it very much. But one most obvious thing I was missing is the option to create expandable post summaries. By default blogger shows full story in the first page and all comments in the own page of the post when you click the post's title. The main problem is most of the time people leave after reading the article. They do not view the comments and hence can't participate on the discussion about that post. Moreover, the first page become longer and longer with full stories. I was seeking for a solution where only few lines will display in the first page as introduction and people will read the full story & comments after clicking "Read More..." link. In help.blogger.com I have found a solution. But it has few disadvantages. Main problem is - you have to write a css code manually with y... More About: Blogger , Post , Create , Summary
My Web Developments

On June 2006 I left that company and tried to become as a freelancer web developer. I registered in RentACoder and started bidding. But it was not so easy to get the first project. I remember, I posted bids almost 2 weeks in RAC before getting the first one.It is very much difficult to get first project in RAC as there are more than 200,000 registered coders. I was little bit disappointed at the beginning. But I was determine to become successful here. After completing 3 small projects successfully one day I met with a buyer who asked me to show how fast I can develop a ecommerce site. On that project I impressed him so much that since that day he is sending me still now project one after another.In RAC I have completed more than 60 projects and my current ranking is below 650 among 200,000 coders which is impressive position for most of the buyers.
