Where2now - About AWDEP The Australian Government has provided grant funding to establish Digital Enterprise Programs in 69 communities across Australia. Thanks to a successful application for funding by Albury City and City of Wodonga, AlburyWodonga is one of the communities that will benefit from the program. The Digital Enterprise Program was established to contribute to the government's vision for Australia as a leading global digital economy by 2020. In particular, this program is designed to contribute to the digital economy goal that states ‘by 2020 Australia will rank in the top five OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries in relation to the percentage of businesses and not-for-profit organisations, using online opportunities to drive productivity improvements, expand their customer base and enable job growth’. To take advantage of this program, browse the events calendar and register to attend one of the available group workshops.
Welcome to the Business Council of Australia Resources: "Nonprofit" vs. "Not-for-profit" — does it make a difference? Since both terms are in everyday use, it makes sense to ask what is the difference between a nonprofit and a not-for-profit. In a technical sense, it's probably correct to say there is no significant difference between the two terms. State "nonprofit" or "not-for-profit" corporation statutes sometimes use both terms side by side to suggest they are synonymous. The IRS does make one distinction though. For example, a "nonprofit" organization can be an association of people who engage in the hobby of fishing – in other words, do it "not-for-profit." More generally, though, the fact that there are two terms in use does not cause problems since everyone involved knows what everyone else means. Caution: If you're talking about a possible job with a nonprofit, it's probably a good idea to avoid calling it a "business" or "firm" unless you're very sure that's what the people who work there already say. Third Sector – "third" after business and government.

How to submit a form using PHP There are situations when you want to send data using POST to a URL, either local or remote. Why would you want to do this? Probably you want to submit data to an opt-in form, but without taking a valuable visitor away from your site. Or maybe you want to send data to several applications for various purposes, which would be impossible to do in the usual manner. Simulate submitting a form using cURL So what is cURL anyway? What we are going to use is, cURL HTTP. cURL supports POST and GET methods, file uploads, cookies, user/password authentications, even using proxy servers for connecting. It can literally be used to programmatically simulate browsing behavior. So how do I use cURL to post data? Begin by creating a new connection. A new connection is created using curl_init() function, which takes the target URL as parameter (The URL where we want to post our data). Now let’s set some options for our connection. What options do we set here? For example,if in a regular form we would have:

Using PHP CURL Library To Scrape The Internet Have you ever though how much information is there in DMOZ? Your entire life won't be enough to collect and sort it. Taking the Web into our own hands, one computer at a time Well, we had to do part of that. At the beginning The first thing you need to know when you have to scrape the net is to know how to do it :-) There are various technologies, but the most important is to know the basis of the process: - screen scrape - parse the input - sort and fulfill the output - save the results Screen scrape This is a process in which you get the content of any website thru a script. We created a simple grabber class which has a constructor doing to the scraping job and few methods for parsing the result: function Grabber($url) { $this->content=""; $ch = curl_init (); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60); $this->content = curl_exec ($ch); curl_close ($ch); } Parse the input Thus we have the core. foreach($rows as $row) {
