Flex sample example in Eclipse

This is a very basic example which makes use of Flex 3 in the frontend , MySQL for data storage and PHP to glue Flex and MySQL. There are two source files used in this example:
i. flex.mxml - for the interface part


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*" layout="absolute" creationComplete="userRequest.send()">
<mx:HTTPService id="userRequest" url="http://localhost/flex/request.php" useProxy="false" method="POST">
<mx:request xmlns="">
<username>{username.text}</username><emailaddress>{emailaddress.text}</emailaddress>
</mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>
<mx:Form x="22" y="10" width="493">
<mx:HBox>


<mx:Label text="Username"/>
<mx:TextInput id="username" />
</mx:HBox>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Label text="Email Address"/>
<mx:TextInput id="emailaddress" />
</mx:HBox>
<mx:Button label="Submit" click="userRequest.send()"/>
</mx:Form>
<mx:DataGrid id="dgUserRequest" x="22" y="128" dataProvider="{userRequest.lastResult.users.user}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="User ID" dataField="userid"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="User Name" dataField="username"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
<mx:TextInput x="22" y="292" id="selectedemailaddress" text="{dgUserRequest.selectedItem.emailaddress}"/>
</mx:Application>



ii. request.php- for computation and communication with the mysql database.


<?php

Define( 'DATABASE_NAME', 'sample');

//connect to the database
$mysql = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '')
or die("no db connection");
mysql_select_db( DATABASE_NAME )
or die("no db selection");


if( $_POST["emailaddress"] AND $_POST["username"])
{
//add the user

$Query = "INSERT INTO users VALUES ('', '".$_POST['username']."', '".$_POST['emailaddress']."')";
$Result = mysql_query($Query);
}

//return a list of all the users
$Query = "SELECT * from users";
$Result = mysql_query( $Query );
$Return = "<users>";

while ( $User = mysql_fetch_object( $Result ) )
{
$Return .= "<user><userid>".$User->userid."</userid><username>".$User->username."</username><emailaddress>".$User->emailaddress."</ emailaddress></user>";
}
$Return .= "</users>";
mysql_free_result( $Result );

print ($Return)
?>


The above scripts assumes that you have already created a database, OR just follow the instructions below:
1. Create a database named 'sample' in mysql database.Then Create a table named 'users'.Create three fields : userid, username, emailaddress.

2. Copy the request.php file in localhost/flex directory.
3.In eclipse install flex builder. Then create a new project named flex . Then give other valuses as default while creating the project. Copy the contents of flex.mxml included in this pack into your eclipse working project.
4. Now run your project. You can see the output.

Python : split any file (binary) to different pieces and join them

This python program takes an input file and then splits it into different smaller chunks. Next it can collect all the different chunks and join it to get the original file. -------------------------------------------------------- # define the function to split the file into smaller chunks def splitFile(inputFile,chunkSize): #read the contents of the file f = open(inputFile, 'rb') data = f.read() # read the entire content of the file f.close() # get the length of data, ie size of the input file in bytes bytes = len(data) #calculate the number of chunks to be created noOfChunks= bytes/chunkSize if(bytes%chunkSize): noOfChunks+=1 #create a info.txt file for writing metadata f = open('info.txt', 'w') f.write(inputFile+','+'chunk,'+str(noOfChunks)+','+str(chunkSize)) f.close() chunkNames = [] for i in range(0, bytes+1, chunkSize): fn1 = "chunk%s...

calculate hop count in a graph using python

The following program finds out the hop count of the nodes in a connected network. Hop Count means the number of point to point connections in a graph of network. For example, in the graph shown below the hop count from node a to node b is one, node b to node c is two, etc. This program assumes the graph given above. usage : getHopCount(dictNeigh, node1,node2) Where:   dictNeigh : dictionary of list of neighbor of each node in the network node1 and node2 are the nodes for which hop count is calculated by the program Exception: if the nodes are not connected then it returns Zero import copy dictNeigh = dict() # dictNeigh defines the neighbors dictNeigh['a'] = ['b','c','d'] # neighbors of 'a' dictNeigh['b'] = ['a']# neighbors of 'b' dictNeigh['c'] = ['a','d'] dictNeigh['d'] = ['a','c','e'] dictNeigh['e'] = ['d','f'] dictN...

My first step to PHP-MySQL

This is a very basic php-mysql tutorial and I will be trying to make it as simple as possible, since I it to be helpful for the first timers. This is the part of program when I was starting to learn Php-mysql. I was just trying to create a html form, get some data filled and then save the data in the database. And also displaying those data back. It was a messy code but I felt glad enough since it was a tangible piece of my learning process. Since then, if anyone asked me some help regarding the startup, i used to provide this code for them to play with. And I thought it will be a good idea if I can share it. a simple html form <form name="form1" method="post" action="target.php"> <p class="style1" align="left"> <label>Enter your details:</label> </p> <table width="421" bgcolor="#cccccc"> <tbody><tr> <td width="195">Name: <input nam...
