File management:

A file system (filesystem) is means to organize data expected to be retained after a program terminates by providing procedures to store, retrieve and update data, as well as manage the available space on the device(s) which contain it.


Without a filesystem programs would not be able to access data by file name or directory and would need to be able to directly access data regions on a storage device.

How to Set Up a PHP/MySQL Site in Dreamweaver

Set up a New Site in Dreamweaver




Yes, I want to use server technology

Assigning MySQL privileges via the command line

The final task once you have created your MySQL database and created your MySQL user account is to assign privileges. With MySQL 5 this can be done on a global, database, table, column and routine level. Typically though once you have your root account created then other accounts are assigned privileges at the database level, and that is what will be covered in this guide.

• Start the MySQL command line client by selecting the MySQL Command Line Client item from your MySQL program group in your start menu.
• The MySQL command line client will prompt you for the root password. Enter it and push enter.
• To assign privileges to a user simply type in;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `testdb\_%` . * TO 'test'@'localhost';

• This will grant all privileges a user called test on localhost for all databases beginning withtestdb_. So if you created a database called testdb_mydb this user will have full privileges to it even if created with the root account, but other standard user accounts with no global permissions will be able to access this database. This is very handy for multi user environments as you can set each user to have their own prefix so that they can create and administer their own databases without them being accessible by other users.
• Finally, lets verify that the privileges have been assigned properly. Type in;

SHOW GRANTS FOR 'test'@'localhost';

• This will list all the privileges that the test account has on the server, and you should see something similar to what is displayed below in figure 1.

 Figure 1That's it. You should be able to now create a database, user and assign permissions from the command line interface for MySQL.

Creating a MySQL user via the command line

Now that you have installed your MySQL 5 server on your Windows server, it is time to start getting into the nuts and bolts of it. In this guide we'll show you the steps needed to create a new MySQL user by using the MySQL command line client. In most instances these days you'll be able to use a GUI manager for MySQL such as phpMyAdmin, but in some instances you may need to do it via the command line. Creating a user is a very easy procedure, so lets get into it.

Creating a MySQL database via the command line

So you followed the MySQL 5 installation guide and have MySQL installed and ready to go. The next step will be to create a user and database so you can start using MySQL, and in this guide we'll show you how the basics of how to create a database on your Windows based system. There are many ways to do this as there are a lot of support tools out there for MySQL. In this guide though we'll stick to the basics and show you how to add a database using the MySQL command line client.

• Still remaining on the 5th frame, Select girl_gr and choose Alpha 99% from color list box in your property window.
• Now select 1st frame, choose Motion Tween from Tween list box in your property window.
• Insert Keyframe into 15th frame and later to 20th frame.
• Remaining on the 20th frame, Select girl_gr and choose Alpha 0% from color list box in your property window.
• Select 15th frame, choose Motion Tween from Tween list box in your property window.
• Now go to frame 5 and reduce the size of girl_gr, maybe by 5pix width and height.
• Go to frame 20 and increase the size of girl_gr, maybe by 5pix width and height.
• Insert a new layer above this layer, call it "Layer 2".
• Draw a borderless circle. Which would look something like the one shown below
  
  

  Instructions to draw the above shown borderless circle Draw a black circle in a layer and delete it's border. Insert a layer above the black circle layer. Draw a smaller white circle in this new layer and delete it's border. Position the white circle such that it is right at the center of the black circle. Now, cut the white circle and paste it (Ctrl+Shift+V) in the black circle layer. Click somewhere outside, so that you deselect either of the circles. Now click on the white circle and delete it Your borderless circle is ready!

• Place this circle right at the center of girl_gr but make sure that this circle resides in Layer 2.
• Insert Keyframe (F6) into the 20th frame of Layer 2.
• Remaining in 20th frame Increase the size of the circle. Note, the increased diameter decides where you want the ripple to end or ebb.
• Now go back to 1st frame, choose Shape Tween from Tween list box in your property window.
• Right click on Layer 2 and select Mask.
• Save (ctrl+S). Make it a habit to save your work after each step you do.

Insert Ripple Movie Clip onto Scene 1

1. Now go back to scene 1.
2. Insert a new layer above bg layer and call it ripple1.
3. Drag ripple_mc movie clip onto the working area. Place it right at the center, just the way you placed the circle inripple_mc Movie clip.
4. Insert frame (F5) into the 20th frame of ripple1 layer. This is just to make sure that the ripple _mc runs only for 20 frame.
5. Insert frame (F5) into the 30th frame of bg layer.

Here you go!! Your movie is ready. Press Ctrl+Enter to view your movie. Wasn't it simple.
Tips: Inserting 1 ripple_mc Movie clip is sufficient if your picture is approximately the size of the picture as shown in the demonstartion. If your picture is really big, you might have to insert more than 1 layer of ripple_mc movie clip. See to that the difference between the appearance of each movie clip is 5 frames. Actually the differnce basically depends on the type of effect you want. So you can adjust it the way you want.Download the .fla file

Insert Ripple Movie Clip onto Scene 1

1. Now go back to Scene 1.
2. Insert a new layer above bg layer and call it ripple1.
3. Insert new Keyframe (F6) into the 10th frame of ripple1 layer.
4. With 10th frame of ripple1 layer selected, Drag ripple_mc movie clip onto the working area. Place it appropriate to girl_gr. Make sure that this movie clip is placed exactly where you had placed your square or rectangular vector in ripple_mc Movie clip.
5. Insert frame (F5) into the 30th frame of ripple1 layer. This is just to make sure that the ripple _mc runs only for 20 frame.
6. Insert another new layer above ripple1 layer and call it ripple2
7. Insert Keyframe into the 20th frame of ripple2 layer.
8. With 20th frame of ripple2 layer selected, Drag ripple_mc movie clip onto the working area. Place it appropriate to girl_gr just the way you did in step 4.
9. Insert frame (F5) into the 40th frame of ripple1 layer. This is just to make sure that the ripple _mc runs only for 20 frame.
10. Insert frame (F5) into the 40th frame of bg layer.

Here you go!! Your movie is ready. Press Ctrl+Enter to view your movie. Wasn't it simple.
Okay now few things to Note - In the above demonstration I have created a subtle ripple effect. If you want the ripples to be more prominent, you can add few more layers of ripple_mc movie clip and reduce the Keyframe differences between layers. Like in the tutorial above, ripples appear every 10 frames. You can reduce this period and make it appear every 5 frames, which would make the ripple effect more prominent.
