Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with OCI8

Finally, Akhirnyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Alhamdulillah berjaya configurekan Ubuntu LAMP Server untuk work together with OCI8 (Oracle Call Interface)... yang membolehkan connection ke database Oracle possible!!! Thanks to the author of this tutorial... here it is.... \(^o^)/

To be able to access Oracle databases from PHP, you will need to have PHP compiled / linked with the Oracle OCI (oci8) library.

You could use the pre-built PHP 5 from Zend or there are two other ways to get PHP working with OCI8:

1. Install the Oracle Database [Oracle10g] [Oracle9i]
2. Install Oracle Instant Client

If your Oracle database is in another machine, the Oracle Instant Client is a smaller install.

PHP using Oracle Database Server

PHP using Oracle Instant Client

Tested Environment:

Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS Oracle Instant Client 11.2

Prerequisites:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install php5-dev php-pear libaio1

Instant Client installation requires some environment variables to be able to see the library folder. Edit /etc/environment and add at the end:

# Oracle Instant Client
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib/instantclient_11_2"
TNS_ADMIN="/usr/local/lib/instantclient_11_2"
ORACLE_BASE="/usr/local/lib/instantclient_11_2"
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE

Then download the Oracle Instant Client from Oracle.com another (you will need to create an account)

You will need the Basic (48MB) and SDK (600K). The Basic Lite version does not work.

cd /usr/local/lib
sudo unzip 
sudo unzip 
cd instantclient_11_2
sudo ln -s libclntsh.so.11.1 libclntsh.so

The symbolic link is needed by during the compilation step later.

sudo pecl install oci8

You will be prompted for the location of the library:

instantclient,/usr/local/lib/instantclient_11_2

You will be prompted also for the ORACLE_HOME location, type 'all', accept and then insert:

instantclient,/usr/local/lib/instantclient_11_2

If successful, you may now add the following line at the bottom of php.ini

extension=oci8.so

The php.ini is found in 2 places: /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Check to verify if the OCI8 module is available.

PHP Built-in Web Server

Finally PHP will have its very own web server. But please pay attention, this is not for production purposes. This is mainly for quick testing purposes only. Can't wait? Well head on to this link and download for yourself and try it.

Apa lagik geng PHP??? Download and tryler... :D

5 Powerful Fat-Fighting Spices - Jon Benson

Parsley:  Improves digestion so you can use
the foods you eat. The more food you "use"
the less you store as bodyfat.

 Basil:  Known to us pros as the "secret"
appetite-suppressing herb. Yep... it makes
you feel more full. Fantastic for killing those
late-night carbohydrate cravings.

Oregano:  Reduces bloating! I love that.
When you are cutting body fat, you often get
tricked into believing belly bloat is belly
"fat"... but it's not. It's water pulled in from
cells during fat loss processes. Oregano
helps reduce it.

Rosemary:  Helps keep you calm and lowers
the bellyfat-storing hormone "cortisol". It's
nature's best cortisol-lowering spice.

 







Black Pepper:  Known fatburner, and it just
tastes really good. Plus a really powerful anti-
oxidant!

13 Healthy Fat-Burning Snack Ideas | Quick healthy mid-meals

13 Healthy (and Delicious) FAT-BURNING Mid-Meal Ideas for Between Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer
Author - The Truth About Six Pack Abs

I receive a lot of questions from my readers where they have been doing much better at choosing healthy breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, but they are still struggling to find good ideas for healthy and quick "mid-meals"... especially a quick small meal or snack that can be brought to the office or on road trips (so you can avoid the fast food junk!).

Some people may call these "healthy snacks", but I prefer to consider them meals because they should be similar in size to your breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, if you want to spread your calorie intake out over the full day to "graze" so to speak.

After all, I'm sure it's no secret by now that eating 5-6 small meals per day is a much better strategy for getting lean compared to the traditional "3 squares" a day (which for most people, turns into only 2 big meals/day as many skip breakfast).

The problem that I see most people having is being prepared enough to bring healthy mid-meals with them to work for the day. If you don't plan ahead, and bring something healthy and balanced with you when you're out and about for the day, or at work, you're going to end up choosing the junk food at the vending machine or corner store.

So here are some of my favorite natural foods based mid-meals that I've used for years with great success and that lots of my clients love too. I want to keep things simple here, so I'm just gonna give a couple of my easiest, quickest, and healthiest...

Quick, healthy mid-meal ideas to keep you lean:

• Apple or other fruit with almond butter
• Hummus with carrot sticks or sliced red/yellow/orange peppers
• Guacamole with carrot sticks or sliced red/yellow/orange peppers
• Ricotta cheese (grass-fed if possible) mixed with cocoa powder, stevia, and vanilla extract (delicious high protein, low carb snack!)
• Cottage cheese mixed with yogurt, berries, and walnuts or pecans
  
• A couple hard boiled eggs with carrot and celery sticks and hummus (roasted red pepper hummus is my favorite)
  
• Celery sticks with organic peanut butter or almond butter (a classic quick snack)
• My famous healthy chocolate FUDGE recipe
  
• Avocado slices wrapped in deli turkey breast (one of my favorite quick snacks)
  
• A piece of sprouted grain toast (sprouted grain preferred nutritionally over "whole grain") with nut butter and berries
  
• Fresh sliced pineapple with a handful of macadamia nuts
  
• a bowl of blueberries mixed with raw almonds
• my quick and healthy fat-burning chocolate pudding recipe
  
• Cottage cheese with cinnamon, apple slices, and walnuts (mmm, mmm good)

That should give you some ideas to start working with. Now you have ZERO EXCUSES for resorting to junk food snacks on the road or at the office, when you have all of the delicious and healthy fat-burning snack ideas right here!

What is MSG? Pebenda MSG Sebenarnyer???

What Exactly is MSG and Why Should I Avoid It?

(By Brian St. Pierre, CSCS, CISSN From GetProGrade.com)

MSG stands for monosodium glutamate and it is used to enhance the flavor of food. MSG adds the savory flavor known as umami, and can make even the blandest and cheapest foods taste good.

While there is a lot of anecdotal evidence linking MSG intake with many problems, these symptoms are rather common and unspecific. They include: burning sensations, numbness, tingling, facial pressure or tightness, chest pain, headache, nausea, rapid heartbeat, bronchospasm in asthmatics, drowsiness and weakness.

Unfortunately, well controlled studies have not found these side effects, even in people who claim to be sensitive to MSG. These studies were placebo-controlled and double-blinded, meaning it was gold-standard research.

In one of these studies, 71 participants were given 5 grams of MSG or placebo and then given a standard breakfast. Only one person had a reaction, and it was someone who thought they were sensitive to MSG – unfortunately they got the placebo. Other well-controlled studies have had similar results.

Though to be fair, there are some people that argue that this data is flawed and the researchers were biased, including one Dr. Adrienne Samuels.

According to Dr. Samuels’ article, The Toxicity/Safety of Processed Free Glutamic Acid (MSG): A Study in Suppression of Information, in the peer-reviewed journal Accountability in Research, she proclaims, “How easily truth can be hidden and how seemingly isolated incidents actually can be badly flawed research, direct suppression of information, and dissemination of biased information orchestrated by one group or industry.”

While some seemingly well-controlled quality studies have found little incidence with MSG consumption, there are clearly researchers in the field who disagree with that notion, and feel that the research and data is flawed and biased. In situations like this, it is hard to know fact from fiction, but the data that is available certainly does not seem to link MSG with all of those side effects.

However, this doesn’t mean that you should just go ahead and down MSG without concern. MSG is used in low-quality foods such as Chinese food, canned vegetables, soups, and processed meats to improve the flavor profile, so people will actually want to purchase these items. This alone should tell you if MSG is in a product. It is in there because the item itself needs to have its flavor enhanced, and probably isn’t so great for you.

You should seek to avoid MSG because in the process you will also be avoiding low-quality processed foods and other unhealthy items that will not contribute to your health, body composition, or performance goals. In addition, it is probably just a good idea to avoid or minimize a food that has so much anecdotal evidence weighing against it.

This scenario seems to be similar to aspartame. Many people have been claiming for decades to suffer side effects from aspartame, and they too were told that the data did not support their claims. Well new information is coming out linking aspartame with many problems, including potentially increased risk of cancers and pre-term births.

So when many, many people continue to claim that MSG causes a lot of side effects, it might be worth minimizing in your diet. At the very least, you will also be minimizing low-quality, nutrient-empty, and calorie-dense processed foods, which is never a bad thing.
