This is an unofficial updated version of USB Webserver. The original USB Webserver was created by http://www.usbwebserver.nl – but their site is currently down, and they haven’t released an update for a while.

This version contains:

Apache: 2.2.11
PHP: 5.2.10-dev (with GD and cURL)
MySQL: 5.1.30-community (with InnoDB)

It defaults to “English” (the original was “Dutch”), and you may need to change the ports if you have been using USB Webserver previously.

Download: “USB Webserver 8.0 (unofficial).zip” (17.6mb)

(and yes, I know the main USB Webserver screen still says “USB Webserver 7.0″ – ignore that :P)

I changed the font and colours (for PHP files anyway), removed the other languages, enabled the auto-complete dropdown, changed the menus, included the PHP binary to check files for syntax errors, and included phpStylist to beautify source code. I also made a new icon, and added the latest “php.api”, and made F1 (help) open the PHP manual (included).

I made this package for my own personal use, and possibly that of friends, and I offer NO (as in ZERO) support for it. I will also not be held responsible for any damages caused – you use this at your own risk. Please do not contact the authors of SciTE regarding bugs or problems as I have made several modifications to the compiled executable that may result in all sorts of bugs – which they aren’t responsible for.

That said, I hope you will find this packge useful. Once you’ve opened a PHP file (with “PHP-SciTE.exe”) press F5 to check for syntax errors, F7 to run the PHP script currently open, and CTRL+F7 to tidy your source code.

Please realize that your code will be changed to how I like my code formatted which might frustrate you… the settings passed to phpStylist are in “php_tidy.bat” if you want to change them.

I really don’t know SciTE that well, and most of what I’ve done has just been lucky guessing, so I probably wont be able to help you with questions but if you want to get hold of me you can e-mail me at: php-scite[at]hypn.za.net

UPDATE: first bug :( the “Check Syntax” menu item (under “Tools”) says the hotkey is CTRL+F5, but it’s actually just F5.

So here’s my niffty trigger code for the day, which automatically updates the “last_updated” (timestamp) field in a table, when a record is inserted or updated:

CREATE TRIGGER `database_name`.`last_updated_insert_trigger`
BEFORE INSERT ON `database_name`.`table_name` FOR EACH ROW SET new.last_updated := UNIX_TIMESTAMP();

CREATE TRIGGER `database_name`.`last_updated_update_trigger`
BEFORE UPDATE ON `database_name`.`table_name` FOR EACH ROW SET new.last_updated := UNIX_TIMESTAMP();

There’s probably a better way to do this (and I think you can combine both triggers, using “OR BEFORE UPDATE”?) but this is the first I’ve worked with triggers in MySQL and I’m too lazy to fiddle. Hope it helps. As I’m sure you can guess, `database_name` is your database name, `last_updated_update_trigger` is the name of your trigger, `table_name` is your table name, and `last_updated` is your field name that will contain the timestamp.

Basically you download the Series 60 (Symbian) client and install it on your phone. It will check their server for any “queued” messages, and if it finds any it will send them out – so the message will come from your number, at your expense (or for free, if you have free SMSes).

You can “queue” message by sending an HTTP POST to their server, which means you can implement it into a website, intranet, Facebook App, etc.

It can also check your received SMSes for a keyword or phrase, to flag them as “inbound” messages, which are then sent to their server and forwarded on to your web application.

That allows your web app to communicate with people via SMS, and allows them to communicate via SMS with your web app.

Hope someone found this interesting, helpful, or financially beneficial (in which case feel free to share with me).

So far the only thing people seem to be moaning about is that you don’t get extra lives or health during the game, making it rather difficult to finish. There have also been requests for “Infinite Lives” and “Infinite Ammo” cheats for it – so I decided to make some hacks ;)

The “Patches” make changes directly to the game files, and can be used in conjunction with each other. You can also undo the changes made to your game file.

Infinite Lives, Health, Ammo and Energy Patch (or you can download the patches individually: Infinite Lives Patch, Infinite Health Patch, Infinite Ammo Patch, Infinite Energy Patch)

UPDATE (08 April 2008): I’ve created a patch which gives you an extra life every 4000 score points – you should be able to get an extra life half way through the second level, and a second extra life near the beginning of the third level… though I think it’ll be easier to get extra lives on the later levels. Download: Facewound extra lives (5.95kb)

Also made a patch to fix a bug, where selecting “New Game” from the menu while in a game doesn’t reset your score back to 0. Download: FaceWound (new game) score fix (5.80kb)

UPDATE (09 April 2008): One of the guys on the official FaceWound forums (Im Crimson) asked if I could make a patch to give you more plutonium so you can buy more weapons, so here they are: FaceWound Double plutonium (5.77kb) and FaceWound Triple plutonium (5.76kb) :D

UPDATE (10 April 2008): More hacks, and this page is becoming a real mess. Inspired by Mariowound – A Mario mod for Facewound (which is awesome), I thought I’d look into FaceWound’s jumping and collision detection, to try and hack it so those coin-boxes could actually work… instead I ended up with some jump hacks which might (though probably not) come in handy for someone, somewhere, one day: FaceWound half-height jumping, FaceWound double-height jumping, FaceWound infinite jumping.

It’s really good at what it says it does, but the logic and data-typing is horrible (but has made me appreciate PHP so much more!), the editor/IDE is nasty… it sort of support colours and formatting (eg: bold) – but it seems to set some of these itself, otherwise use the formatting of the text you paste in (which is really annoying).

I suspect you’d normally learn LINGO in a class, or from a book, or something like that… which would explain why I’m struggling to learn it using just the help file. Even Google doesn’t offer help much – it turns out Macromedia/Adobe Director has it’s own thing called “LINGO”… so while there are lots of “LINGO tutorials” and guides, they’re for the wrong LINGO.

 Not much fun :|
