If you have developed a large application you may have faced this problem, in some cases we have some settings or options to save in the database but the data is not so large to create a db table for it, also it may do not require many rows. In that case we should have a table for settings, where we can store all our settings or options with a key then retrieve it. Our option can be a text value or an array or an object. WordPress has a really good feature for such cases its the Option Mechanism. By using the appropriate function, options can be added, changed, removed, and retrieved.

It’s being a long time since we planned to develop a Bangla language related application for Android. After a long discussion we decided to create a Bangla Dictionary based on Google Dictionary. The main-pain was the font, Android is not yet matured enough to handle Unicode. After some challenges we successfully integrated universal Bangla font with our new Android app. We have published the app in the Android Market. The day we published the app totally amazed us with an overwhelming response, we never expected our app will be loved by so many people. Few days ago the total downloads exceeded 5000 with 30 ratings averaging 4.6 / 5 . The number may not be that high for an international audience focusing app, but its real high for Bengali people focusing app.

Facebook Applications are getting much popular these days, its good, but the bad is Facebook frequently changes its API, which causes the resource and tutorials on this subject to be obsolete. That’s why I decided to write an up to date post on how to create an IFrame based Facebook Application using PHP. I am using PHP SDK (3.1) and Graph API, you have to download PHP SDK from here. Well, I am covering the coding part here and not going through how to create and setup a Facebook Application, if you don’t know how then this article might be a good read.
