Install MongoDB for PHP5.4 on MAMP

-
1. Download mongo.so from https://github.com/stennie/mongo-php-driver/downloads

2. Copy mongo.so to MAMP PHP folder.

For example, mine is at
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/
Remember to select the correct PHP version. You can check your PHP version from your MAMP start page, e.g http://localhost/MAMP/phpinfo.php


3. Enable the extension in PHP Configuration file (php.ini). You can find the path to the file from the PHPInfo (see above example).

To enable, add the following line in the "Dynamic Extension" section.
extension=mongo.so

4. Restart your MAMP. You should see "mongo" section in PHPinfo.

And thus all requests to the server failed with the error message: Origin http://example.azurewebsites.net is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.   In order to make sure there's no problem with my application, I've deployed the same code to Appfog.com . And as expected, the application works just fine. The same application d

[Magento] Create Contact Form with Dynamic Recipient

-
There are many ways of creating contact forms to email to multiple recipient. I'm going to describe a way that uses Javascript a the frontend to change the target recipient. Advantage of this method: Easy to add in new emails in the future. Disadvantage of this method: For those who are particularly concern email privacy, you might not want to use this method. You can modify the email checking to the backend (controller) instead. Okay enough talking, lets get started. Step 1: Set up HTML form fields I'm going to use an example of drop down select to change the email. Of course, this is fairly easy to modify with other forms as well. Open up app/design/frontend/default/<theme>/template/contacts/contacts.phtml Insert the following snippets anywhere between the <form>...</form> tag. <select name="interest" id="interest" title="<?php echo Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Please select department t
