Create and email ZIP files on the fly! I was faced with a peculiar request tonight. One of my hosting clients wanted me to write a script that would automatically email him his Access database each night. Even though our servers are backed up on a daily basis, he wanted a copy sent through to him. Which creates ZIP files on the fly.

Here is an application that uses coldfusion server to stream MP3 using an M3U file. An M3U file is basically just a playlist. m3u file to a media player, it should play the data in the m3u file. M3u file contains data like, location of the MP3. Locate all your MP3 files and put them in a folder.

I know there are JavaScripts available that help you achieve this, and the DataSet object in VB. All you do is enable paging. But how do you do it in ColdFusion? The following tutorial is a small script that lets you achieve it. Begin with the usual cfquery, query a database, and retieve a dataset! SELECT ColumnName1, ColumnName2, ColumnName3, ColumnName4.

This is just like a cfgrid tag. Although a cfgrid tag lets you bulk insert, bulk update or bulk delete, the dataset object does it one by one. But cfgrid is slower, and may give users Java errors, depending on their browser settings.

The program resized all the images to 250 px width and the average size for each of these was 8k.
