How to upgrade Drupal ?
Drupal is always releasing security updates every now and then.
PHP communality called it patches!
So here are the steps you can use to patch your Drupal and lock down security hole in Drupal web application.
1. Download latest release of Drupal package from Drupal site.
2. Put your PHP Drupal site in maintenance mode (offline)
3. Take a database backup/export using any MYSQL tools, like phpmyadmin (I use it in MAMP environment ). Same thing you can do by command line if you want to do so.
(mysql –u ROOT –p YOURPASSWORD yourdatabasename > exporteddbname.sql)
4. Make backup of your Drupal application folder.
5. Now it is time to copy all files – untar or unzip your downloaded new Drupal patch package.
6. Copy all files and folders Except “Site folder”, “.htaccess” file and “robot.txt”, you can have custom configuration and setting to these files and folder so it is good not to overwrite these files and folder.
7. Run CRON in your Drupal application.
8. Run update.php it will detect automatically type of database and schema you are using and update it. It takes few seconds, so please don’t halt upgrading process.
http://localhost/drupal/update.php
9. If above process is successful, put back your site in (Online mode) live mode.
10. See status report and you will notice your Drupal is updated.
Your Drupal application is safe now !

What is difference between setInterval () and setTimeout () ?
setTimeout execute javascript statement AFTER x interval.
For example – setTimeout(“execute_something();”, 2000);
This is execute function execute_something() after 2 seconds.
setInterval execute javascript statement EVERY x interval.

This is execute function execute_something() in every 2 seconds.
How to use Firebug within Google Chrome?
Google Chrome does not support plug-ins, there is Firebug-like too already available built within Google Chrome. That is called “Inspect element” just right click on page anywhere and click on “Inspect element” menu command. It will open a new panel like firebug. It works well for CSS debugging and you can change CSS in real time like firebug but JavaScript debugging is not very good supported.
How to change date formate of twitter field “created_at”?
php coder who is reading twitter API for latest tweets want to change date/ timestamp format which is returned by ‘created_at’ key. Most of the times I use JSON based request. e. i. http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=phpmind
These are the fields returned by above request.
Hope fully you understand how json string looks like.
Now it is time to convert date time stamp in more readable format.
echo date("l M j \- g:ia",strtotime($object->returns[0]->created_at));
Please change the date parameters if you want to play with different date formats.
If you want to use javaScript way to format dates here is very cool function.
Returned by twitter – Wed, 09 Feb 2011 02:44:36 +0000
Returned by this javaScript function, TwitterDateConverter ($object->returns[0]->created_at);
Output will be for Example “14 minutes ago”
See Image Below!
function Convert_Datetime($datetime)
{
define("SECOND", 1);
define("MINUTE", 60 * SECOND);
define("HOUR", 60 * MINUTE); define("DAY", 24 * HOUR);
define("MONTH", 30 * DAY); $delta = time() - strtotime($datetime);
// convert
if($delta < 1 * MINUTE)
{
return $delta == 1 ? "one second ago" : $delta." seconds ago";
}
if($delta < 2 * MINUTE)
{ return "a minute ago";
}
if($delta < 45 * MINUTE)
{
return floor($delta / MINUTE)." minutes ago";
}
if($delta < 90 * MINUTE)
{
return "an hour ago";
}
if($delta < 24 * HOUR)
{
return floor($delta / HOUR)." hours ago";
}
if($delta < 48 * HOUR)
{
return "yesterday";
}
if($delta < 30 * DAY)
{
return floor($delta / DAY)." days ago";
}
if($delta < 12 * MONTH)
{
$months = floor($delta / DAY / 30); return $months <= 1 ? "one month ago" : $months." months ago"; }
else
{
$years = floor($delta / DAY / 365); return $years <= 1 ? "one year ago" : $years." years ago";
}
echo Convert_Datetime("2015-04-1 22:10:00"); // one year ago

Perl Interview Questions?
What is use of ‘strict’ in perl ?
The module strict restricts ‘unsafe constructs’, according to the perldocs
When you enable the strict module, the three things that Perl becomes strict about are:
• Variables ‘vars’
• References ‘refs’
• Subroutines ‘subs’
Strict variables are useful. Essentially, this means that all variables must be declared, that is defined before use. Furthermore, each variable must be defined with my or fully qualified
What is scalars in perl ?
The most basic kind of variable in Perl is the scalar variable. Scalar variables hold both strings and numbers, and are remarkable in that strings and numbers are completely interchangable. For example, the statement
$priority = 9;
sets the scalar variable $priority to 9, but you can also assign a string to exactly the same variable:
$priority = ‘high’
Perl difference between lists and arrays ?
A list is a fixed collection of scalars. An array is a variable that holds a variable collection of scalars.
Array operations, which change the scalars, reaaranges them, or adds or subtracts some scalars, only work on arrays. These can’t work on a list, which is fixed. Array operations include shift, unshift, push, pop, and splice.
You can change an array element, but you can’t change a list element.
What is the use of ‘defined’?
defined EXPR
defined
Returns true if EXPR has a value other than the undef value, or checks the value of $_ if EXPR is not specified.
If EXPR is a function or function reference, then it returns true if the function has been defined.
Return Value
• 0 if EXPR contains undef
• 1 if EXPR contains a valid value or reference
#!/usr/bin/perl
$var1 = "This is defined";
if( defined($var1) ){
print "$var1\n";
}
if( defined($var2) ){
print "var2 is also defined\n";
}else{
print "var2 is not defined\n";
}
This will produce following result
This is defined
var2 is not defined
