Good. Cheques can't go away quickly as big money needs to move around atimes. Old chaps won't let it go. ATM? not surprising as people still need to move around with cash. Internet banking? It's expensive, kind of. Why would I want use Internet when I can dial *737# without data or internet?!  (I that song! ) Security concerns too. USSD is safer. Consumer psychology is one of the factors responsible for ithe increase of smaller transaction. People only want to withdraw what they need - frugality. People don't carry much cash again. Wíth the advent of POS, cash transaction are made on the fly. E-commerce sites takes some of the glory here too. Besides, a greater percentage of the Nigerian population lives below the poverty line, so it's no rocket science that the 'smaller transaction' factor is expected to jet on. Recession is another things self. I still feel that utility is undermaximized in the services rendered by banks via the ATM services. |

"i can see but i cant solve, i dont want to put someone in a complicated situation, putting their mind in an uneasy state without a solution from me. This is why my pastor told me to be careful and rather keep shut when i see things about people. You see things huh? |

sexybbstar: I wanted to pray sometimes ago, then I just saw one that appeared on the ceiling. I didn't even scream, then I switched to praises and worship and the spirit has to tell me "you even have the guts to sing?".. Na that one shock me pass, I quickly changed back to prayer. Seriously?  Those spirits are merciless. You shouldn't have stopped praises though, you should have sang more, and with more aggression! |

Hello house, I am trying to run this on XAMPP's MySQl server: try { $con = new PDO("MYSQL:host=locahost;dbname=db_name", "username", "password" ; $con->setAttributes(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); $query = <<<HERE SELECT CONCAT(surname, ' ', firstname) AS 'name', country FROM tbl_customerdetails WHERE surname LIKE ?

I suppose the driver is supposed to come bundled with the XAMPP app itself. App's version info: Apache/2.4.25 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.2j PHP/7.1.1I didn't get this error when I was running the the App version with PHP 5. Can someone help me out with this?!  |

Guess that replies you. I don't know of C# as you didn't specify what language PHP. Just dealing with the raw HTTP thing. no particular language |
Programming › Re: Http Request/response Testing by paranorman(op): 7:22am On Apr 05, 2017 |
romme2u: You can use your browser to do this. All browsers have a web console you can use to make GET http request to either local or remote server, configure http headers to be sent with the request and read the response right in the console.
On latest firefox, open options, click developer and select web console to open the console OR press Ctrl+Shift+K (shortcut).
NB: Almost all latest major browsers like chrome, opera, safari and even internet explorer plus Edge have consoles but firefox is the easiest to use as they have complex interface. Moreover, it will take you time to get used to the functionalities they offer as it varies among vendors.
There are a lot of tutorials on the web on how to use developer tools provided by the vendors. Happy searching and playing. thanks, I am gonna try this out.. |
Programming › Re: Http Request/response Testing by paranorman(op): 7:43am On Apr 03, 2017 |
i gotta explain better then:
I just wanna practice with the raw HTTP request/response messages. I got Telnet client on windows 10 (Telnet server has been deprecated on windows 10). I also got APACHE XAMPP, but telnet won't connect with localhost as connection is always lost!
I just wanna practice with the raw thing, do something with Telnet like:
>open 127.0.0.1 80 >GET /helloworld.php HTTP/1.1
So I can get the response HTTP message, that's all. I don't need something elaborate or with to many technical jargons, I never expert abeg. |

Olyboy16: it doesnt work like that sir. i cant type much code here on mobile, but i'll give you some pseudocode to follow.
when you send these headers to the browser.
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="some info text"'); header('HTTP/1.0 401 Uauthorized');
The browser prompts for a auth key.
then on submission to the server, you can check those $SERVER indexes. Thanks, figured it out. |
