Prevent to change the select input value if NO to confirm via Jquery

Find the code below to prevent the Select box/Dropbox to alter the value if 'NO' to Confirm using Jquery.
 var prev_rank_val;
        $( '#rank_level_id' ).focus(function() {
            prev_rank_val = $(this).val();
        })
        .change(function() {
            $(this).blur() // Firefox fix 

            var msg = "Are you sure you want to continue?"; // message here
            var action = confirm(msg);

            if ( action==true) {
                return true;
            }
            else {
                $(this).val(prev_val); // rollback the current value if to No
                return false;
            }
        });

"Filetype attempting to upload is not allowded" issue in CodeIgniter

If you are having issue on uploading the file in CodeIgniter, there is a bug with the File Upload Class in the _file_mime_type function ( or File Upload Class - MIME type detection issue).
Please check one of the following steps to fix the issue;

1. Uploading any image with the following config would generate the error ‘The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed.’:

$config = array(
 'upload_path' => './uploads/',
 'allowed_types' => 'gif|jpg|png'
);  
$this->load->library('upload', $config); 


2. Changing ‘allowed_types’ to ‘*’ allows the file to be uploaded, however the upload data array ( $this->upload->data() ) contains an error:
[file_type] => cannot open `' (No such file or directory)


3. Looking at system/libraries/Upload.php , Line 1058 tries to use an array value that does not exist.
@exec('file --brief --mime-type ' . escapeshellarg($file['tmp_path']), $output, $return_code); 

// Changed to: 

@exec('file --brief --mime-type ' . escapeshellarg($file['tmp_name']), $output, $return_code);

To add to one GIT repository to another repository on same machine

Well, what I have done here is I have development and production repositories on my PC which were exclusively linked to their own GitHub repositories.

Now, I would like to update my production repo from development locally and push back to production repository on GitHub.

And here is my commands;

# Go to local "production" repo
 
$ cd project.production/  
RC@MyPC-001 /c/xampp/htdocs/project.production (master)

$ git remote add development /c/xampp/htdocs/hillingdon/dev.hcp.branch
RC@MyPC-001 /c/xampp/htdocs/project.production (master)

$ git fetch development

$ git merge development/
development/forum-devt   development/master // This is because I had two branch on my development repo

$ git merge development/master // I am merging the master branch only

// If you got any conflicts, please resolve them and add them all
 
$ git add --all 

SSH/SCP commands to/from remote server in window/Linux

Syntax for Secure Copy (scp) via HTTP

What is Secure Copy?

scp allows files to be copied to, from, or between different hosts. It uses ssh for data transfer and provides the same authentication and same level of security as ssh.

Examples

Copy the file "foobar.txt" from a remote host to the local host

$ scp your_username@remotehost.edu:foobar.txt /some/local/directory

Copy the file "foobar.txt" from the local host to a remote host

$ scp foobar.txt your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory

Copy the directory "foo" from the local host to a remote host's directory "bar"

$ scp -r foo your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory/bar

Copy the file "foobar.txt" from remote host "rh1.edu" to remote host "rh2.edu"

$ scp your_username@rh1.edu:/some/remote/directory/foobar.txt \
your_username@rh2.edu:/some/remote/directory/

Copying the files "foo.txt" and "bar.txt" from the local host to your home directory on the remote host

$ scp foo.txt bar.txt your_username@remotehost.edu:~

Copy the file "foobar.txt" from the local host to a remote host using port 2264

$ scp -P 2264 foobar.txt your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory

Copy multiple files from the remote host to your current directory on the local host

$ scp your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory/\{a,b,c\} .
$ scp your_username@remotehost.edu:~/\{foo.txt,bar.txt\} .

scp Performance

By default scp uses the Triple-DES cipher to encrypt the data being sent. Using the Blowfish cipher has been shown to increase speed. This can be done by using option -c blowfish in the command line.
$ scp -c blowfish some_file your_username@remotehost.edu:~
It is often suggested that the -C option for compression should also be used to increase speed. The effect of compression, however, will only significantly increase speed if your connection is very slow. Otherwise it may just be adding extra burden to the CPU. An example of using blowfish and compression:
$ scp -c blowfish -C local_file your_username@remotehost.edu:~
