LKR 150/= DVD+RW

I have a habbit to back-UP my data in to disks regularly. Sometimes when I backup my data in to DVD-R s there is more than 2.5 GB free space because I backup my PC monthly. So, I thought to use a DVD+RW to backup data and keep it till I get enough DATA to burn in to a DVD-R. By this I could reduce my cost for DVD-Rs and could use full space on DVD-Rs to burn.
So , I went to Kandy town to buy a DVD+RW. When I ask from one shop , the sales person told me it cost LKR 350/= but they haven't any DVD+RW at that time. So I asked from another shop. The sales person told it cost only LKR 150/= and they have stocks. I'm very happy when I heared that DVD+RW is cost LKR 150/= only. So I bought it to back-up my data in to it.
When I came home I started to burn my backups in to it. But after 3 or 4 successful burns, K3b andBrasero complained some errors on DVD+RW. But it's a DVD+RW and I tried to format it. Again the errors.
After that I used Nero6 on WindowsXP to burn the disk. It's the same as k3b and brasero. Now I have to stick it on the wall and forget about the LKR 150/= that I paid to buy it.
Although I have many experiences about low quality/low price DVD-R s , but I forgot the price of any DVD +RW is depend on the quality and the supported writing speed of the disk, when I buy that DVD+RW.

Divide php / MySQL result in to several pages with links

When I design a website I had to use a database inside the site. So I used MySQL database and used php/
MySQL to connect it. Then I got the result via mysql_fetch_array , it shows all results inside the same
page. It's not what I wanted to do. I want to divide the results in to pages and use links to show
results.
I tried to write php commands to succeed my work and I understood it's very hard to write such a program.
So , I ran through the Internet to get php codes to do my work. I found several files that I could use to
my site. But when I try to use them in my site, it I found it's difficult to use them with my site and I
couldn't understand what's the wrong and what happens by/with some codes.
So, I decided to write a code to use in my site. Here it is... You could develop/share and use it as your
own wish. If there is any bug, please correct it and be kind enough to inform me via comment.

gmail has a cool feature

i found gmail forward emails to an email address runs equal with equal letters, if there is an email to an unused email address.
what a fantastic feature it is?
i get emails that sends to my gmail and another gmails which equals to my gmail and runs with dots included.
then i tried to log-in-to those address with my gmail password. it logs me into my gmail.
its a good feature coz it prevents ppl frm misspelling gmail addresses.
