What do You Need?
This tutorial will not explain how to install PHP, MySQL, or Apache Server.
If your server supports PHP - you don't need to do anything! You do not need to compile anything or install any extra tools - just create some .php files in your web directory - and the server will parse them for you. Most web hosts offer PHP support.
However, if your server does not support PHP, you must install PHP. Below is a link to a good tutorial from PHP.net on how to install PHP5:

Introduction to PHP
A PHP file may contain text, HTML tags and scripts. Scripts in a PHP file are executed on the server.
What You Should Already Know
Before you continue you should have a basic understanding of the following:
* HTML / XHTML
* Some scripting knowledge
If you want to study these subjects first, find the tutorials on our Home page.
What is PHP?
* PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
* PHP is a server-side scripting language, like ASP
* PHP scripts are executed on the server
* PHP supports many databases (MySQL, Informix, Oracle, Sybase, Solid, PostgreSQL, Generic ODBC, etc.)
* PHP is an open source software (OSS)
* PHP is free to download and use
What is a PHP File?
* PHP files may contain text, HTML tags and scripts
* PHP files are returned to the browser as plain HTML
* PHP files have a file extension of ".php", ".php3", or ".phtml"
What is MySQL?
* MySQL is a database server
* MySQL is ideal for both small and large applications
* MySQL supports standard SQL
* MySQL compiles on a number of platforms
* MySQL is free to download and use
PHP + MySQL
* PHP combined with MySQL are cross-platform (means that you can develop in Windows and serve on a Unix platform)
Why PHP?
* PHP runs on different platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix, etc.)
* PHP is compatible with almost all servers used today (Apache, IIS, etc.)
* PHP is FREE to download from the official PHP resource: www.php.net
* PHP is easy to learn and runs efficiently on the server side
Where to Start?
* Install an Apache server on a Windows or Linux machine
* Install PHP on a Windows or Linux machine
* Install MySQL on a Windows or Linux machine

Adding a Firefox component to Windows XP Embedded
Adding a Firefox component to Windows XP Embedded
by Sean Liming
The Firefox2 SLD is based on version 2.0.0.1 from the www.GetFirefox.com website. The Firefox2 SLD ZIP package, available for download here, only contains the SLD file. The actual Firefox binary files must be downloaded, installed in a system, and copied over to a flat release directory that the Firefox Repository is pointing to.
The SLD was created with the help of Component Helper, one of the tools in SJJ Embedded's supplemental tools package for Windows XP Embedded.
The registry keys captured were not needed since the application creates the necessary keys when it runs for the first time. The Firefox component use the Selector Prototype so you can enabled / disable component dependencies. In this case, Client for Microsoft Networks was added as a dependency since it is required for network access. One could disable this dependency and replace with a different network client, i.e. Client Services for Network

Instructions:
- Download the v2.0.0.1 installation file from www.GetFirefox.com
- Install Mozilla Firefox on an XP system.
- Download the FireFox2.zip file containing the SLD.
- Extract the contents of the zip file to your hard drive.
- Create a new directory in the same directory as the SLD called Files. The Repository path is relative to the SLD. The Repository has been setup so the files are one directory level below the SLD.
- Copy all the files in the different Mozilla Firefox subdirectories to the newly created Files directory. The files must be flat in the Files directory; no subdirectories are allowed. The picture below shows what the subdirectory should look like.
- Also, use the file resources in the component. There are some required files under "\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Mozilla". These need to be copied to the flat release directory as well.
- Import the SLD into the XPe data base using Component Database Manager.

Quickly lock down your Firefox setup
If you want to prevent users from messing around with your beloved and perfectly customized Firefox install, you can now add a simple deterrant with Public Fox, developed by Igor Rashnistov. 
Public Fox is not perfect, and its protection can be circumvented by starting Firefox in safe mode or with a new profile but it should be enough to stop most users.
Public Fox lets you set a password to lock some configuration including the Options window, about:config (Firefox’s advanced preferences), the Add-Ons manager (so it prevents adding extensions and themes), the Bookmarks Manager, adding bookmarks, the download manager and also set file extensions you want to block, like .exe, .bat or .msi files, which can be used to install unwanted applications or even spyware.
And Public Fox was smart enough to block the selected windows even when I tried to access them from the location bar directly (with a chrome:// URL).
Public Fox is not perfect, and its protection can be circumvented by starting Firefox in safe mode or with a new profile but it should be enough to stop most users.
I couldn’t access about:config after trying several times with the correct password (it worked for other windows), as well.
Despite these minor problems it is a helpful transparent extension you would like to try.

Mozilla releases list of features most likely to be included in Firefox 3
Mozilla releases list of features most likely to be included in Firefox 3
Mozilla developers have released to the public their plans of features that they hope are included in Firefox 3 when it is released sometime in the third quarter of 2007.
Mozilla developers have released to the public their plans of features that they hope are included in Firefox 3 when it is released sometime in the third quarter of 2007.
The developers released three different lists of items to be included in the next full version. The first list, includes the following (among other things):
- Support for remote bookmarks, bookmarks and history annotation.
- An MSI installer which would make it easier for IT administrators to install, configure, and update Firefox across a Lan.
- Google’s open source crash reporting tool, called Airbag, will replace the current tool, called TalkBack.
The next list contains features that are “highly desirable,” such as a private browsing mode, which would leave behind no cache, saved user names and passwords, or history. The ability to save entire web pages as PDFs is another feature that has been desired for a long time by many people.
The last list is labeled as “Nice to Have,” and includes such items as Windows Vista Parental Controls, the ability to install add-ons without restarting Firefox, and Tab Grouping.
