In this post, for large projects I am referring to those projects that have grown over time adding features that did not exist in the first release of project, with a structure for a little application, and of course: a complete refactoring of the application is not possible.

This is a CodeIgniter Helper that I use in my web application to highlight the active link, like a link in a menu bar or everywhere a link must be active.
How it works
The active_link() function simply accept the name of a controller as parameter and then check if is equal to the controller we are really in, taking it from $CI->router->fetch_class();.

In this tutorial I will show you how to download a file whose content is the result of a database query, thanks to jQuery without reload the page.
The final result is very simple: we have a page with a button, we click on button and we are prompted to download a file, remember we are not reloading page, awesome.
In my example we are downloading a CSV file with a list of users.

My need was to share a directory with a chrooted user, and with Pure-FTPd doing it is very easy.
The FAQ is very exhaustive, I recommend you read it, here in my case I go directly to the point.
From the official FAQ http://download.pureftpd.org/pub/pure-ftpd/doc/FAQ
Making a symbolic link won't work, because when you are chrooted, it means that everything outside a base directory (your user's home directory) won't be reachable, even though a symbolic link.

For those working with NetBeans on a Windows ( for sure XP and Vista ) machine this error is well known.
Do not worry, fix is very simple, just add an extra option in the configuration file.
You can find netbeans.conf under
C:\Program Files\NetBeans\etc
This is the original conf row
