We have PHP 5.2.6 deployed to c:\php and in that folder there is the php.ini file. On Windows, can a website override these settings similar to the way that apache has .htaccess? e.g. DirectoryIndex index.php index.html <IfModule mod_php5.c> php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off php_flag register_globals off </IfModule> <IfModule mod_php4.c> ...
Hi, Background: We develop win32 applications, and use the "Thompson Toolkit" on windows to give us a unix-like shell that we use as our command-line. We have a GUI program (with a WinMain and message loop) that we want to write to the console, but printf and so on don't work, even when we launch the program from the console. How can w...

Is there any way to set a system wide memory limit a process can use in Windows XP? I have a couple of unstable apps which do work ok for most of the time but can hit a bug which results in eating whole memory in a matter of seconds (or at least I suppose that's it).

I have a WPF app which snaps to screen edges (I just set the .Top or .Left of the window if you're within 20 pixels of the screen edge), but I recently added some code provided by the WPF SDK Team to "mess" with the window chrome, and although it's working great (screenshot), it's causing the "snapto" to move the window unexpectedly (e.g...

Is there an easy way to create standalone .exe files from Lua scripts? Basically this would involve linking the Lua interpreter and the scripts. I believe it is possible (PLT Scheme allows the creation of standalone executables in the same way), but how, exactly? ...
I recently turned on Windows Firewall logging on my computer and started tracking incoming and outgoing connections. Something curious about the logfiles is that I have noticed numerous UDP packets (in fact, it constitutes basically all of my incoming traffic) that don't have my host as destination or source showing up in the logs. I th...
I am working on a project that does a large amount of hashing, signing, and both asymmetric and symmetric encryption. Since these steps have a significant effect on our performance and available load, I was wondering if there is a hardware based solution to offloading the work. I have done some surfing to find out, and the only items I...

I received some suggestion...
Does anybody know how to determine the location of a file that's in one of the folders specified by the PATH environmental variable other than doing a dir filename.exe /s from the root folder? I know this is stretching the bounds of a programming question but this is useful for deployment-related issues, also I need to examine the depen...

While researching this issue, I found multiple mentions of the following scenario online, invariably as unanswered questions on programming forums. I hope that posting this here will at least serve to document my findings. First, the symptom: While running pretty standard code that uses waveOutWrite() to output PCM audio, I sometimes ge...
In c#, I have a handle to a window ( an IntPtr ), I want to change the background color of that window. How can I do this?
