Protect yourself with PeerBlock!

by mtecheasy on December 22, 2010

PeerBlock lets you control who your computer “talks to” on the Internet.  By selecting appropriate lists of “known bad” computers, you can block communication with advertising or spyware oriented servers, computers monitoring your p2p activities, computers which have been “hacked”, even entire countries!  They can’t get in to your computer, and your computer won’t try to send them anything either.

And best of all, it’s free!

I made this tutorial to mainly target new-to-PHP developers, due to the fact when I started I noticed the lack in quantity of basic login systems. Therefore, I decided to make one myself giving high quality advice on how to make your first login system with a users online script!

Use JavaScript to redirect your webpage!

by mtecheasy on December 21, 2010

Just insert this code:

<script>
<!- –
location.replace(“http://mtecheasy.wordpress.com”);
– ->
</script>

This will make the browser instantaneously go to the URL.
This will not work if someone has JavaScript disabled in their browser, the page will just sit there and do nothing. The easy fix, provide a URL as well!

Example: <a href=”mtecheasy.wordpress.com”>mtecheasy</a>
