In this tutorial we are going to make a PHP script that archives your website into a .tar file, then automatically moves it to an external FTP server for safe keeping. We can then setup a cron for this script which will execute it automatically every day/week/month , however frequent you want it. This will only work on Linux servers…
We traditionally think that jQuery’s selector engine can only select elements/information off of the document that we are working on. And AJAX’s only use is to process web forms without the page needing to reload. While both of these are common uses, they are not the only uses. In this tutorial I’m going to show you a not-so-mainstream use of…
