Execute shell command on server using php
Accessing shell command in server may not be available for you at all due to security reasons. But still you can access it using php since this will give you some extra features and time saving efforts. One of the example is to creating backup of your files. You might want to create backup of your files in gz format. But you may not have this feature in your cpanel or being banned by your hosting company. If you can make access to the shell of your server and execute tar command who can stop you from??!!

1 CommentDisable text selection in webpage using javascript
In many cases you may need to disable text selection in web page. Where you have drag n drop enabled, you might not want to see that your text get selected when your draggin an item. You can do this easily using this this function.
// this function disables text select on a perticular dom object
function disableSelection(target)
{
if (typeof target.onselectstart!="undefined") //IE route
target.onselectstart=function(){return false}
else if (typeof target.style.MozUserSelect!="undefined") //Firefox route
target.style.MozUserSelect="none"
else //All other route (ie: Opera)
target.onmousedown=function(){return false}
target.style.cursor = "default"
}
Now if you want to disable selection on completely on your page you can select the “document” object and disable selection
disableSelection(document)
If you want to disable selection on a particular area such div do this
var div = document.getElementById('my_div');
disableSelection(div)
