Start small grow BIG

All startup tips and tricks will be gathered and listed here.

Impression is the most important thing for startups. People don't know you and the only thing you have is the IMPRESSION. So always do well and be good.

Do rather than just write and talk. Just do it. Show something people can see on what you can do and what you have been doing. Produce a good prototype and show them diagrams instead of just text that tell them about what you are doing.

Your first customer wll always be your closest family members, friends and neighbors. Try to find new customers within 10-minute drive from your location (office or home).

Involve and contribute in society and get to know more people as you will get more contact and most probably more customers in the future.

Business is always start with LOST. So plan ahead to survive for first few years.

If you don't have money to invest, then invest your time and skill in your business. But make sure the investment is worthwile

PEAR Installation

PEAR = PHP Extension and Add-on Repository

After you have downloaded and installed PHP, you have to manually execute the batch file located in e.g. c:\php\go-pear.bat. The setup will ask you some questions and afterwards the PEAR Package Manager will be installed in the path, which you have specific during installation.

Finally you have to add that installation path to your PATH environment
(Start > Control Panel > System > Environment).

After that you can access the PEAR Package Manager by running the command pear in a Windows Command Prompt.

To update your PEAR installation from go-pear.org, request http://go-pear.org/ in your browser and save the output to a local file go-pear.php. You can then run
