How to install and configure EasyPHP

If you are going to learn PHP programming you will need to run a server that hosts your PHP pages. For doing this there are multiple ways. All of them are nothing but server applications that run an Apache server on your system, For some reasons I find installing the Apache server itself bit confusing. But that can be worked around by using WAMP or EasyPHP.

If you are getting "msvcr100.dll missing" error see this.

1. Going with EasyPHP download the latest EasyPHP Dev Server from their official site, here. As of writing this the latest is 16.1.1

2. Go with the default installation. Which will install in the directory of your windows.

3. Once installed you will see an EasyPHP tray icon as shown.

4. Right(or left) click the tray icon and click Open Dashboard. Which will open up a page in your Web Browser as shown.

5. Once we got the all we have to do is start the service we need. Since we want make PHP pages, click start under HTTP SERVER. If there are multiple choices of the server as shown below go with anyone. I went with the first one which starts with 32 bit server. I guess the other choices would have done the same.

Now let everything in default and Start it.

6. Once started you can check whether your server is running or not by opening the local host of your computer. To open local host, just type "localhost" (without quotes) in the address bar of your web browser or just click this http://127.0.0.1/

If you don't see any error means everything is working fine.

7. Now this localhost is a location in your system which is present in the installation directory of EasyPHP. Go to the installation directory and find the Folder by the name "www" or "eds-www" in my case.

Open this folder and you will find a phpinfo.php file there. Let it remain there. Now we will work with our php files in this "www" folder.

You can create as many subfolders you want. Like I created a "test" folder for the sake of testing.

8. Now create a PHP file.

I did by this code:

<?php
$testPhrase= "Hello World!";
echo $testPhrase;
?>

Copy it and save the file by the name "index.php"

Place this file anywhere in the "www" directory of EasyPHP as shown.

I placed the index.php in the subfolder "test" I created.

9. To test my code is working we open the localhost in the web browser and head over to the "test" directory.

Upon clicking the "test" subfolder I get my code running.

That's it.

How to make RPC in Unreal Engine Steam Online Subsystem and EOS

Remote Procedure Calls, also known as RPCs, are a way to call something on any other instance. In the Unreal Engine, RPCs are used to ship events from the patron to the server, the server to the customer, or from the server to a specific group.

There are precise policies that RPCs observe, which are unique in the official Documentation. Some of these regulations encompass wherein the RPC must be run, such as the server instance of an Actor, on the owner of the Actor, or on all instances of the Actor. There are some necessities for RPCs. First, they must be referred to as on Actors or replicated Subobjects. The Actor (and component) have to additionally be replicated. If the server is looking an RPC to be executed on a customer, handiest the patron who owns that Actor will execute the function. Similarly, if a client is calling...

How to drag and drop item in Unity3D

For dragging and dropping to work we will need to first grab the Game Object and ensure while the Game Object remains grabbed it's position reciprocates the mouse position. This will work fine for not only PC bug mobile devices as well. First define GameObject which we will be dragging. public GameObject selectedPiece; Now inside Update method we will give reference to touched/clicked object and while there is a reference available to an game object(selectedPiece;) we will move that object to mouse position. When the reference is remove, object won't move therefore dropped. void Update(){ RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition), Vector2.zero); if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){ if(hit.transform != null) { if (hit.transform.CompareTag("PIECE")) { ...
