Shutdown Computer From Mobile Using PHP

technoplex1@gmail.com — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 03:55:06 PDT

On the Internet there are some tutorials about shutting down a computer from a mobile phone.But, in this tutorial we'll check out a way to shutdown a computer from a mobile phone using PHP.For those who don't know PHP, it is a scripting language in simple words.We are PHP as it is a server side scripting language,platform independent and open source.That means we don't have to worry about whether the system runs on Windows or Linux.The procedure is really simple.All we have to do is to set up a server on the computer with PHP and execute system command to shutdown the computer.

1.SERVER SETUP

We'll use XAMPP to set up the server.Believe me it is too easy.

Go to xampp home page.Download the available package (installer or zip archive).

Now,follow the instruction given on their site to install the server.Actually installation is just unzipping the archive to a directory.The installation will take just around 2 minute.

However you check my previous post on setting up server on home computer.

2.PHP code

After installing XAMPP, just open up XAMPP directory.Then you will locate htdocs folder.Open that and create a new directory/folder.You can name it anything you want.Suppose the name of the new folder is shutdown.
Open the newly created folder shutdown and create a new file with index.php extension.
Now open up index.php file and place the nice little code if you run windows.

<?php
echo 'Shutting down';
exec("shutdown -s -t 30"); //30 means shutdown after 30 seconds
?>

3.Creating URL

Go to no-ip.com and register a free sub-domain and point it to the the following

http://YOUR-IP-ADDRESS/shutdown/

To find out your ip address just visit any site like http://checkmyip.com/.

That's it.Now you visit that link with no-ip subdomain from your mobile phone to shut down the computer.

30-SECOND BUNNY THEATRE :

Cartoon series in which films are re-enacted by rabbits.Covers everything from Titanic to The Exorcist.

ICANHASCHEEZBURGER.COM :

Pictures of Cats and other cudly animals in funny poses are a web standard.But,this iste adds the satisfying uncloying twist of inviting visitors to submit captions indicating the creatures feelings,writen in "kitty Pidgin" English.

MUSIC BY REMOTE-CONTROLLED CAR :

A heady mix of brilliant inventiveness and utter time-wasting Japanese youngsters (students, almost certainly) play the music from the Nintendo game super Mario by lining up dozens of bottles,then driving by a car along them with a piece of wire attached to sound the notes.

CHUCK NORRIS FACTS :

A homage to the martial arts expert and star of action films such as The Delta Force.Visitors contribute outrageous claims for Chuck's toughness:
"If you can see Chuck Norri, Chuck can see you.If you can't see Chuck Norris, you may have only seconds to live".
"Chuck Norris doesn't read books.He stares them down until he gets the information he wants."

THE FRAMLEY EXAMINER

Absurdist parody of banal small-town newspaper.Headlines include "local Man Neither Local Nor Man" and "At Last Missing Boy Is Found Again At Last".The highlights are classifieds offering such items as a child's Paul simon costume and a set of nested beds that sleep 18 progressively smaller people and the estate agent ads.Two books of the website are published by Penguin/Michael Joseph.

Turn Internet Explorer into Google Chrome

technoplex1@gmail.com — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:49:57 PDT

Its called Chrome Frame, and it is a new browser plug-in developed by Google to give you a Chrome browsing experience inside of Internet Explorer. Let me restate that slightly to make it more clear: Chrome Frame turns IE into Chrome.

With Google Chrome Frame, developers can now take advantage of the latest open web technologies, even in Internet Explorer. From a faster Javascript engine, to support for current web technologies like HTML5's offline capabilities and <canvas>, to modern CSS/Layout handling, Google Chrome Frame enables these features within IE with no additional coding or testing for different browser versions.

Here is the catch

Microsoft is warning IE users that it does not recommend installing the plugin. What does the company have against the plugin? It makes Internet Explorer less secure.

Given the security issues with plugins in general and Google Chrome in particular, Google Chrome Frame running as a plugin has doubled the attach area for malware and malicious scripts.

Here is the Google Chrome Frame.
