So… there are some existing solutions for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Integration with PHP but it appears that there are problems with all of them. I was tasked with creating a php proxy for the crm integration until the developer who is more perl adept takes the working solution in php to port to perl.
So you want to support different screen resolutions do you? Well, it is possible too much difficulty by creating a multiplexer for CSS files.

There is nothing wrong with these utilities, however, if you are providing a visitor to your web site with a dynamic download of archived files you would probably want to provide the files in the very well known compressed format (typically used on Windows OS computers).
As web developers, we are usually tasked with deploying a project to a production server that we don&squo;t always have access to. And in most cases the projects require a database. The usual plan of action consists of running a database dump, copying the sql sump file over to the production server, and restoring the dump file using the MySQL CLI. However, in cases where we have limited access to the production server including no shell access, results in the problem: How do we install the database.
