List the names of all the computers in the network on a combobox

In this simple article you will learn how you can bring the IP address's of all the machines in a local network on to a combobox

Create a C# windows application project.Insert a combobox into the form

using System;
using System.Net;


Insert the code below into the page load of the form


String strHostName = Dns.GetHostName();
Console.WriteLine("Host Name: " + strHostName);

// Find host by name
IPHostEntry iphostentry = Dns.GetHostByName(strHostName);

// Enumerate IP addresses
int nIP = 0;
foreach(IPAddress ipaddress in iphostentry.AddressList)
{
combobox1.items.add(ipaddress.ToString());
}

Uploading a file

$uploadedImage = new Upload($_FILES['uploadImage']);

if ($uploadedImage->uploaded) {
$uploadedImage->Process('myuploads');
if ($uploadedImage->processed) {
echo 'file has been uploaded';
}
}

List files in the directory

List all files in a directory and return an array.




function dirList ($directory) {
// create an array to hold directory list
$results = array();

// create a handler for the directory
$handler = opendir($directory);

// keep going until all files in directory have been read
while ($file = readdir($handler)) {

// if $file isn't this directory or its parent,
// add it to the results array
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
$results[] = $file;
}

// tidy up: close the handler
closedir($handler);

// done!
return $results;
}

Force Downloading a file

Forces a user to download a file, for e.g you have an image but you want the user to download it instead of displaying it in his browser.



header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");

// displays progress bar when downloading (credits to Felix ;-))
header("Content-Length: " . filesize('myImage.jpg'));

// file name of download file
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="myImage.jpg"');

// reads the file on the server
readfile('myImage.jpg');

Random Password Generator

PHP password generator is a complete, working random password generation function for PHP. It allows the developer to customize the password: set its length and strength. Just include this function anywhere in your code and then use it.

function generatePassword($length=9, $strength=0) {
$vowels = 'aeuy';
$consonants = 'bdghjmnpqrstvz';
if ($strength & 1) {
$consonants .= 'BDGHJLMNPQRSTVWXZ';
}
if ($strength & 2) {
$vowels .= "AEUY";
}
if ($strength & 4) {
$consonants .= '23456789';
}
if ($strength & 8) {
$consonants .= '@#$%';
}

$password = '';
$alt = time() % 2;
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
if ($alt == 1) {
$password .= $consonants[(rand() % strlen($consonants))];
$alt = 0;
} else {
$password .= $vowels[(rand() % strlen($vowels))];
$alt = 1;
}
}
return $password;
}

Uniform Server

The Uniform Server is a WAMP package that allows you to run a server on any MS Windows OS based computer. It is small and mobile to download or move around and can also be used or setup as a production/live server. Developers also use The Uniform Server to test their applications made with either PHP, MySQL, Perl, or the Apache HTTPd Server. The main advantage is that no installation is required.You can just copy the folder to any system and set up the server in that machine.You can even carry your server in a thump drive
