How-to use PHPMailer for SMTP and GMail

http://www.web-development-blog.com/archives/send-e-mail-messages-via-smtp-with-phpmailer-and-gmail/ These days I tried some plugin to send e-mail message within WordPress via SMTP.

Quick and Dirty PHP Caching

Caching your database-driven website pages has a plethora of benefits, not the least of which being improved speed and reduced server loads. This article will explain how to set up a simple caching system, and will also address when and where caching might not be appropriate. For me, the impetus to switch to a caching method for one of my database driven sites was sparked by Mosso , since they bill by cpu cycle, and I have one site that is, well, humongous (60k+ pages), and it happens to the highest traffic site on the account. While the database queries were all very efficient, and each page had, on average, no more than 6 queries, performance and cpu cycles would both be helped quite a lot by implementing a cache. This caching solution was a temporary fix, while we switched to a new CMS that was already using a robust caching system. It’s quick, it’s dirty, but it got the job done for the interim.
