If you wrote websites in PHP, you would very likely be using PHP Session. Using PHP session allows you to preserve certain data across subsequent accesses. Visitor of your site would be assigned a unique session id and would be propagated throughout his / her browsing session.
However, a lot of inexperienced PHP programmers would have problems using it. They might find it difficult to carry the session id to the other pages, or simply, no session id assigned.
A quick checklist if you face this issue:
- Make sure <?php session_start(); ?> is at the very first line of the page
- Check your php.ini file and make sure session.use_only_cookies=1
Microsoft has released their latest invention – Bing.
Bing provides a new search experience by providing a decision engine. It provides direct access to the information being searched. Moreover, it organizes search results in a way that relevant contents can be more quickly and easily located.
To lead to more informed decisions, Bing harness that information through exclusive tools specific to the task.
When you visit Bing’s website, you would be presented with a nice scenery photo – wait – the search box is at the top. Although Bing is currently in Beta mode, it does its job – provides search results relevant to your search.
Let’s switch to image search – here are some differences. Inside image search you can choose what kind of images you are looking for – small, medium, large or wallpapers, different layouts and colors, different styles, and photos that only shows the face of human or head & shoulders.
Here is another new toy: the xRank. xRank keeps track of notable people and puts them in order. Web searches in Bing for movie stars, musicians, famous people etc were counted and compiled with Bing’s ranking formula. The result is a cultural popularity of different people.
Bing do not have any advertising spots yet, at the time of writing. It would be interesting to see the benefit of advertising on this new search engine.
Try Bing today.
