Using of CAB files in Windows (Making & Extracting)

Cabinet files are the Microsoft Windows Archives. These archives can store multiple files/folders into a single file with or without involving data compression. Since every Windows system is natively compatible with cab files, Windows provide enough facilities to create, extract, or rebuild cab files without requiring additional software.By default, there are 3 utility files for dealing with cab files. They are

·         makecab.exe
·         expand.exe
·         extrac32.exe


You can find these in the system32 directory.

Use IEXPRESS.EXE,there is a lot of facilities with this tool. Try playing around a bit and figure them out.

Random header image on page refresh (applicable to Drupal theme)..ShYaM

Some time back, we needed to get a random header image on every page refresh for a client. So I devised a simple way to select a header image from any 5 given images and show it on a page. How did I do it with PHP and CSS is explained below:

The Template File
First you need to find out the div where the random header image is going to be displayed, as its the header image then its obivious that we need to add a class to the header div. Problem is how is the single class going to have 5 different images as its background and that also changed in every page refresh.
For this just add a class called header-x, x is replaced with a random number between 1 and 5 by using PHP's rand() function. This will require your template to be a PHP file, if you are using a CMS like Drupal then in Drupal edit the header div's code in page.tpl.php file as below:

The CSS Code

After the template is fixed, now you have to apply a different background image to the classes 1-5. So header-1 will have header1.jpg,.... till header-5 will have header5.jpg as its background image. The code can be seen below
