PHP query string parsing
by Sanket Medhi 03 Mar '06

03 Mar '06

I am currently working on a small PHP project for my college. I am quit new to it, so this query might seem trivial to you. What I am trying to do is use the index.php to act as the front page of the site, as well as be able to handle queries using the GET method. For example, http://localhost/index.php?search=somestring should work as well. That is, there might or might not be a query string. All I want to know is whether such a query string exists or not. And if yes, what is(are) the parameter(s) (in this case, search is the parameter). Thanks in advance. -- Regards, Sanket Medhi.

[ot][hardware] making redundant connections between switches and a router
by Abhishek Daga 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hi folks, I did attempt a google for this but did not know what search term would actually pull up a meaningful result for this. Apparatus/Equipment. a) SMC wireless dsl router (3 port) b) three 8 port switches, (dlink, dax, smc) Setup: 4 ports in each are used to connect to various PCs. 1 port used up to connect to the wireless router. Problem: I have had issues with routers where frequent reseting is required. So to prevent the entire internal network going down because of a bad router, I decided to make the connections redundant. So connected Port 6 of dlink to port 6 of Dax. Port 7 of dlink to port 6 of smc. Port 7 of dax to port 7 of smc with the assumption that even if the router fails, i'l have uninterrupted access. But this was not to be. Things got messed up, despite enabled connections, machines would not ping each other or the router. Then finally removed the links from Switch 1 and 2 to the router and also the connection from dax to smc and it started working fine. So what got messed up in the above setup? I am thinking its something to do with conflicts but not convinced as to why there would be a conflict? Can anyone throw some light on this? thanks abhi *********************************************************************** According to the theory of aerodynamics, a bumble bee cannot fly.

MTNL Triband with DSL-Ethernet bridge and Linux PPPoE?
by Amish Mehta 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hello All, Has anybody tried MTNL Triband with entry level (but reliable) DSL-Ethernet bridge/converter? i.e. simple device which converts DSL signals to Ethernet signals? My idea is NOT to go for full fledged router(like DLink-502T) but use Linux with PPPoE because afterall DLink modem itself uses Linux. I have read that it works with DLink-502T in bridged mode so it should work with simple and cheap bridges. eBay shows such bridges to cost just 5-7$ but I am not sure if it works with Triband and PPPoE on Linux. That way one can avoid DSL modem deposit(and have their own bridge at same cost) as well as monthly rental. And have all the power of Linux firewall/NAT/cron jobs etc. Please let me know if someone has tried this and which bridge/converter was used and how much does it cost? Thanks in advance. Amish.

There is a service category called Business Auxiliary Service (added in 2003) which excludes "Information Technology Services" from the service tax net. Please refer to the Section 2 of the following circular available on the service tax web site: http://www.servicetax.gov.in/servicetax/circular/st_circ_62-2k3.htm There are some news reports also which add to the confusion: http://www.thehindu.com/2006/01/23/stories/2006012300241700.htm http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2005/10/15/stories/2005101502421100.htm It would be great if any of the firms / companies charging or paying or not paying service tax can shed more light on this. -- Manish
