Windows 10 Search fixSince this morning (Feb 5th 2020) search just stopped working on my Windows 10 (version 1903). No matter what I would type in the search the results will not show. I couldn t even start the calculator typing calc in the search!After spending more than two hours trying just about any fix I have found online and numerous reboots nothing seemed to work. I even created a new account on my computer and on that account the search was working fine and was already looking for an easy way how to move all my data from one account to another when I found this fix that actually works! The mysql_result in mysqliMany of you have run into a problem when you were working on some old legacy php script that you wanted to adapt to PHP 7 where mysql_ functions no longer work (since they are deprecated).The new PHP 7 comes with two database drivers: MySQLi and PDO. The PDO supports many different databases while MySQLi supports only MySQL.So you probably thought, I m just going to replace all mysql_ functions with mysqli_ and it s done. Well, I ve got bad news for you. It won t! Also this way is also not safe. So take your time and learn about the changes and how you can overcome them. How to convert physical Windows PC into a virtual machineAfter 10 years of running my main desktop computer on Windows 7 time has finally come to upgrade it to Windows 10. Along with some hardware upgrades that my computer needed, I also wanted to move to the Windows 10 since the support and updates for Windows 7 will be discontinued on January 14th 2020.Also, my 10 year old Windows 7 PC had a lot of settings and pieces of data that I didn t want to give up that easily, so I got an idea to make a copy of the current Windows 7 as a virtual machine, so in case I need anything I could just boot the virtual machine and within seconds go back to my Windows 7 setup with all access all data and settings.First step was to make a bootable copy of my computer s hard drive partitions. For this purpose I used Disk2vhd tool made by Microsoft. It s a free tool and all I needed to do is just pick partitions I want to backup and tell it where to back that up.Ideally, you would want back this up on another drive (so the backup process is quicker since one drive just reads, while other one is just writing). My C: partition was 250gb and it was roughly 45% full and the result was a Windows7.vhdx file of roughly 100 GB in size. That was copy of my Windows 7 PC installation in one big file. How to downgrade PHP 7.4 to PHP 7.3 on VestaCP running on CentOS 7I installed VestaCP for a clien on a new dedicated server running CentOS 7. Once you get a server or VPS with CentOS 7 by default it has no PHP installed. After you install VestaCP using their guide for some reason you ll end up with PHP 7.4.0RC5. Copyright (c) The PHP GroupZend Engine v3.4.0-dev, Copyright (c) Zend TechnologiesI didn t like that first time I saw it and after I tried using it like that but the errors would just start popping all over the place. Even with software that VestaCP installed, like phpMyadmin:There were also some errors with some WordPress themes and plugins and it was just not looking right and I wanted to back to stable version of PHP 7.3 but VestaCP doesn t offer such thing out of the box, so the only way was to remove PHP 7.4 and install PHP 7.3 manually from command line.PHP 7.3.11 (cli) (built: Oct 22 2019 08:11:04) ( NTS )Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP GroupZend Engine v3.3.11, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend TechnologiesBut two other problems arise: phpMyAdmina and RoundCube wembail are not working:I went to check the config files at /etc/httpd/conf.d/ folder and I have noticed duplicate files for phpMyadmin and RoundCube: beside standard .conf files there were also .conf.rpmsave files (old ones).So I removed these new ones (.conf) and renamed these old ones back to new ones restarted web server and everything was working again. Please make sure that you know what you re doing here. Instead of deleting these two files you might want to just rename them or move them somewhere in case you ll need them later. So have that in mind!mv phpMyAdmin.conf.rpmsave phpMyAdmin.confmv roundcubemail.conf.rpmsave roundcubemail.confservice httpd restartOPcache improves PHP performance by storing precompiled script bytecode in shared memory, thereby removing the need for PHP to load and parse scripts on each request. PHP 7.3.11 (cli) (built: Oct 22 2019 08:11:04) ( NTS )Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP GroupZend Engine v3.3.11, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.3.11, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies How to fix multi-line editing Control + Shift + L not working in SublimeI use Sublime Text on both Windows and Mac and I love it. Recently I discovered that for some reason multi line editing wont work. This is very handy feature that allows you to edit more than one line at the same time and I use it quite often.The easiest way to enter multi-line editing mode, is by pressing Control + Shift + L simultaneously, but for some reason it wont work anymore.Apparently, the problem is caused after I upgraded my AMD Drivers and I got that Radeon thing sitting in my task-bar (that I didn t had before or I have disabled it previously). This tool uses exactly the same hot-key combo as Sublime and it prevents sublime from functioning.Here s how you can fix this. First start AMD Radeon utility, click on Gaming tab and then click on Global Settings.Next click on Performance Monitoring tab and there you have it, the first item on the list called Toggle Performance Logging Hotkey is using the hotkey CTRL+Shift+L hotkey. Click on it to change it and press Delete key to remove hotkey for that function, and the value will change from Ctrl+Shift+L to None.At this point your Sublime multi-line editing tool is working again and you may close this AMD Radeon thing.
