PHP Code:
<?php 
  
// Include the qrlib file 
include 'phpqrcode/qrlib.php'; 
  
// $text variable has data for QR  
$text = "GEEKS FOR GEEKS"; 
  
// QR Code generation using png() 
// When this function has only the 
// text parameter it directly 
// outputs QR in the browser 
QRcode::png($text); 
?>

Note: This output is directly generated in the browser. This code will not run on an online IDE because it can’t include ‘phpqrcode’ module.

Example 2: PHP program to generate QR Code and create file.

PHP Code:
<?php 
// Include the qrlib file 
include 'phpqrcode/qrlib.php'; 
$text = "GEEKS FOR GEEKS"; 
  
// $path variable store the location where to  
// store image and $file creates directory name 
// of the QR code file by using 'uniqid' 
// uniqid creates unique id based on microtime 
$path = 'images/'; 
$file = $path.uniqid().".png"; 
  
// $ecc stores error correction capability('L') 
$ecc = 'L'; 
$pixel_Size = 10; 
$frame_Size = 10; 
  
// Generates QR Code and Stores it in directory given 
QRcode::png($text, $file, $ecc, $pixel_Size, $frame_Size); 
  
// Displaying the stored QR code from directory 
echo "<center><img src='".$file."'></center>"; 
?>  

The output of both examples are different. In the first example, the output will display in default frame and pixel size which is generated directly on browser whereas the output of the second example is a ‘png’ file with pixel and frame size as 10 stored in a directory.

What's web development?

by Shedi at 01-10-2025, 03:45 PM 0 comments

Web development is the process of creating, building, and maintaining websites and web applications that run on a browser.
It can also include:
web design, web programming, database management, planning, managing projects, and quality assurance.

Web developers are responsible for the technical aspects of a website, such as its performance and capacity. They may also create content for the site.
The three main types of web development are: front-end development, back-end development, and full stack development.

To become a web developer, you can:

Build web developer skills
Consider a degree in computer science or web design
Take a course in web development
Build a portfolio of web development work
Get certified

Web development is a promising career with a high demand for skilled developers. The average salary for a web developer in the US is $93,127, and positions are expected to grow 13 percent from 2020 to 2030.

Dogecoin Price Analysis: Experts Predict a $2 Target for DOGE

by Shedi at 01-09-2025, 02:06 PM 0 comments

Dogecoin (DOGE), the popular meme-inspired cryptocurrency, is once again in the spotlight as market analysts forecast a potential surge to the $2 mark. The renewed bullish sentiment around DOGE stems from increasing adoption, strong community support, and broader market recovery trends.

Key factors driving this optimistic outlook include:

Growing Utility: Dogecoin’s expanding use in payment systems and partnerships with businesses are enhancing its practical applications.
Market Momentum: A rise in overall crypto market activity and continued interest in meme coins are boosting trading volumes.
Influential Support: Social media hype and endorsements from figures like Elon Musk continue to generate enthusiasm.
Technical Analysis

DOGE is currently holding support near $0.20, with significant resistance levels around $0.30.
Breaking through these key barriers could trigger a strong upward move toward $1, with $2 as the ultimate price target.
Potential Risks

High price volatility remains a concern for traders.
External factors such as regulatory changes or macroeconomic conditions could influence market performance.
While reaching $2 presents a bold projection, Dogecoin's community-driven nature and expanding ecosystem make it a possibility. Investors should stay informed and exercise caution when navigating market shifts.

Will the delay of Pi Network’s Mainnet impact the $100 price point?

by Shedi at 01-09-2025, 01:46 PM 0 comments

Pi Network has fallen off a cliff from its November highs as the $100 price target became highly elusive. This decline is mostly because of the ongoing altcoin retreat and the few mainnet launch delays by the developers. Based on their past statements, the Pi coin mainnet launch will likely be delayed again, which may affect its performance.

Will PI Network Delay The Mainnet Launch Again?

The Pi Network price surged to nearly $100 in October as the countdown to the first grace period continued. It then crashed to $47 and bounced back to $91 as this deadline neared.

These gains were short-lived as the developers postponed the grace period again to December. The same trend continued, and in December, they extended the verification period again to January 31st of this year. In the statement, they noted that their goal was to launch the mainnet in the first quarter of this year.

They argued that more time was needed to ensure that at least 10 million pioneers moved their tokens to the mainnet.

However, there is a risk that the mainnet launch may be delayed again as the developers have done repeatedly in the past few years. In the announcement below, the developers said that the open network can – not will – launch as soon as possible in Q1. Including the phrase can introduces uncertainty about the launch.

      // Change the icon based on mode

      toggleIcon.textContent = document.body.classList.contains('dark-mode') ? '☀️' : '?';

    });

My mybb forum is not sending users activation email after registering

by Shedi at 01-09-2025, 02:00 AM 0 comments

If your MyBB forum is not sending activation emails, the problem could be due to misconfiguration or server-related issues. Here’s a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

Step 1: Check Email Settings in MyBB

Log in to your Admin Control Panel (ACP).
Navigate to Configuration > Mail Settings.
Review these key settings:
Mail Handler: Select either PHP Mail or SMTP depending on your server setup.
If using PHP Mail, ensure your server supports the mail() function.
If using SMTP, fill in the SMTP details correctly (e.g., host, port, username, and password).

Example SMTP Settings:

Quote:Setting = Value
SMTP Host = smtp.yourmailserver.com
SMTP Port = 587 (for TLS) or 465 (for SSL)
SMTP Username = Your email address
SMTP Password = Your email password
Encryption Method = TLS or SSL

Step 2: Verify Email Templates
Go to Configuration > Languages > Your Language Pack > Edit Templates.
Open the messages.lang.php file or search for "email_activateaccount" to ensure the activation email template is correct.
Step 3: Check Spam/Junk Folder
Ask users to check their spam or junk mail folders, as activation emails might be flagged as spam.

Step 4: Test Email Functionality
Use the "Send Test Email" feature in Tools & Maintenance > System Mail Log.
If sending fails, the error logs will provide more information about the issue.
Step 5: Check Server Configuration
PHP Mail Issue: Ensure the mail() function is enabled.
SMTP Configuration: Verify credentials and confirm that your mail server allows external SMTP connections.
Step 6: Review Error Logs
If MyBB logs errors under Tools & Maintenance > System Mail Log, these logs can provide insight into specific problems.

Step 7: Consider External SMTP Services (Optional)
If issues persist, use a third-party SMTP service (like Gmail, SendGrid, or Mailgun) for reliable email delivery.

Example Gmail SMTP Settings:

Quote:Setting - Value
SMTP Host - smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port - 587
SMTP Username - Your Gmail address
SMTP Password - App-specific password
Encryption Method - TLS

How to edit sidebar in mybb theme

by Shedi at 01-09-2025, 12:43 AM 0 comments

How to Edit the Sidebar in a MyBB Theme

Locate the Template File
The sidebar content is usually part of the template files in MyBB. Follow these steps to find and edit it:
1. Access the Admin Control Panel
  Log in to your MyBB Admin Control Panel (ACP).
2. Navigate to the Template Section
  Go to Templates & Style > Templates.
  Select the template set for your active theme.
3. Find the Sidebar Template
  Look for a template named something like index, header, or footer. Sometimes, custom sidebars are placed in the index or a custom sidebar template if defined by your theme.
Modify the Sidebar HTML
In the appropriate template:

Code:
<div class="sidebar"> <h3>Latest Threads</h3> {$latestthreads}  <ul> <li><a href="forumdisplay.php?fid=2">Forum 1</a></li> <li><a href="forumdisplay.php?fid=3">Forum 2</a></li> </ul> </div>
Adding Plugins or Widgets
For dynamic sidebars, use plugins or custom PHP hooks to display content like latest posts or user statistics.

Example Plugins:
- Advanced Sidebox: Offers more sidebar management options.
- Recent Threads or Popular Posts Widgets for dynamic content.
Style the Sidebar
To change its appearance, go to Templates & Style > Themes and edit the CSS in global.css or a custom CSS file.

Code:
.sidebar { background-color: #f4f4f4; padding: 15px; border: 1px solid #ddd; }
Save and Refresh
After making your changes, save the template and CSS files. Clear the MyBB cache or refresh the page to see your updates.
