HJEPSlideshow is a simple, yet highly customisable, image slideshow that can be embeded into any webpage. The transitions, layout and font of the slideshow are customised using clean easy to understand CSS. Features:

• Resizable
• Neat transitions from image to image
• Customisable transitions, layout and fonts
• Quickly add/remove photos (no re-compilation)

The photos are stored in a XML file, this means that the photos shown in the slideshow can quickly and easily be added/removed. It’s even possible to dynamically create albums using at server-side scripting language, for example PHP, by writing a script to create XML files. Download (13.2KB) The download is a zip archive containing the pre-compiled swf file, an example html page and the source code (if you need it).

MySQL++ is a C++ API for MySQL, if you have ever used MySQL with PHP then this will all be very familiar… Here is a short example piece of code for people that have just started using MySQL++.

#include <stdio.h>
#include "mysql++.h"

MYSQL *con;
MYSQL_RES *result;
MYSQL_ROW row;

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){

	con = mysql_init(NULL);
	printf("Attempting to connect\n");

	con=mysql_real_connect(con, "localhost", "username", "password", "database", 0, NULL, 0);

	if(con == NULL){
		printf("Failed to connect.\n");
		return 0;
	}

	printf("Connected to the database\n");

	mysql_query(con,"SELECT * FROM test");

	result = mysql_store_result(con);

	if(result==NULL){
		printf("Result equals NULL.");
		mysql_close(con);
		printf("Connection Terminated\n");
		return 0;
	}

	while ((row = mysql_fetch_row(result)) != NULL){
            for (int i = 0; i<mysql_num_fields(result); i++){
            	printf("\nRow: %s\n",row[i]);
            }
        }

	mysql_close(con);

	printf("Connection Terminated\n");

	return 0;

}

To compile: g++ -o test test.cpp -I /usr/include/mysql -I /usr/include/mysql++ -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient
