A little while back I was trying to make a router for my application which I had grouped into classes. So a url could be like this :
www.site.com/index.php/class_name/method?id=15
or
www.site.com/index.php/controller/action?id=15 in the MVC style
or
localhost/project/index.php/class_name/method?id=15

In httpd.conf file the following line should be uncommented :
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
by removing the # sign before it.
Then comes a section which looks like this :
<Directory "C:/Apache2.2/htdocs">
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* — "Options All"
# doesn’t give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.

One interesting way of listing foreign keys is like this :
select
concat(table_name, '.', column_name) as 'foreign key',
concat(referenced_table_name, '.', referenced_column_name) as 'references'
from
information_schema.key_column_usage
where
referenced_table_name is not null;

The innodb storage engine supports foreign keys in Mysql.
To create foreign keys in phpmyadmin :
1. Convert both tables into innodb.
2. View the structure of the table which will have a foreign key. Make the referencing field an INDEX.
3. Now come back to structure view and click Relation view. In the Relation view page the field (which was made an INDEX) can be made a foreign key referencing to some other field in another table.

Lots of newbies keep asking or search for techniques to hack someones email password like yahoo gmail msn etc.
First of all it should be noted that getting someone’s password out of a server is something impossible for the very simple reason that in most cases the password is stored no-where. Newbies think and make attempts to get the some one’s password from the target server. But yes this is not possible. Passwords are not stored directly, but as hashes (if you are a web developer then you must be knowing this). Hashing is basically a one way algorithm to turn a string of any size into a fixed sized string. For more on hashing get to wikipedia. Hashes cant be reverted to get back the original string. Now when a user logs into a system, he provides his username and password. Now the password is hashed again and compared with the hash that was stored during registration. If both match then access is granted.
