Macromedia Piles Everything Into Studio 8
 By David Utter
With Dreamweaver, Flash Professional, Fireworks, Contribute, and FlashPaper inside,
Studio 8 offers a comprehensive package for web developers.
Studio 8 comes along as San Francisco-based Macromedia announces new versions
of several core products. Dreamweaver, Flash Professional, and Fireworks all arrived
on Monday with new versions.
But for the digital media developer, Studio 8 includes all of those products.
In a press release, Macromedia also notes the presence of new video encoding tools.
Those will be useful for people who want to place a spot on Al Gore's Current
TV.
The Dreamweaver web authoring component has enhanced visual design features for
creating Cascading Style Sheet layouts. The company also improved support for
XML and XSLT developing, by providing more "code hints" for developers.
Flash Professional gives developers the key to getting content, including Flash
Video, onto millions of computers around the world. The client player software
has been available for multiple platforms for a few years now.
As more Internet households turn to broadband providers, more ad creators will
find increased demand for enhanced ads. Studio 8 looks like an effective way to
put a lot of tools in the hands of developers for the online advertising and interactive
content markets.

PHP & Account Activation
 By
Oland Whitecotton
When a user signs up at your website, you may want to verify their email address
so you aren't getting bogus accounts in your database.
A few lines of code can send an email to the address specified, containing a welcome
greeting and link to activate their account. PHP is the best way to both send
the emails and do the activation process.
When the link in the email is clicked, a PHP page is loaded that performs a couple
simple validation techniques, and if valid, it activates the account. PHP checks
for the email address in the database and makes sure the random variable attached
to the URL is the one generated at account creation to be used for activation.
If these conditions are met, the account is activated.
Some sites also allow the user to resend the activation email, which makes the
account activation code a little longer. PHP then has to delete the value for
the old activation variable and insert a new randomly generated variable in the
database. The script also has to send the email again, but with a different messaged
attached - like "This is a resent confirmation email to activate your account
with us".
