PayPal is used by a lot of online merchants to accept payments for the products they sell online. PayPal can also be used to accept donations for your technical open source projects or charity organization. Recently, I opened an account with PayPal to accept payments from my clients who reside outside India. Before I started, I searched for reviews on PayPal which seemed quite horrible. You can read a lot of them here. But then I needed the payments and had no other option (without spending a huge transaction amount), so gave it a try and I am happy that my experience with them till now is excellent. So, here is a step by step procedure to Withdraw funds to your bank account in India.

Feeds Image Grabber (FIG) was released on 3rd March 2010, to support the Feeds module. Introduction FeedAPI Imagegrabber is a add-on module for FeedAPI. It consists of a parser which visits the original URL of a new feed item, and retrieves the main image from the post. Once the main image has been retrieved, it is then converted into a thumbnail using the ImageCache module, and stored in the node created by FeedAPI, inside a CCK field. The purpose of FeedAPI Imagegrabber is to make the feed more informative as well as interesting for the user. As, we all know that “comics are much better than novels”, this module appends the feed-item with an appropriate image from its content URL. The goal of the module is to mimic the thumbnail display of websites such as digg.com. This goal is acheived by using FeedAPI to turn RSS feed-items into nodes, and then using FeedAPI Imagegrabber to append these nodes with an appropriate image from the feed-item’s webpage.

Recently, I was working on a project and I needed to convert the relative URLs to their absolute URLs. An absolute URL such as “http://www.example.com/image.jpg" but mostly written as only “image.jpg” (relative URL) on the web pages. Web browser creates a complete URL using this relative URL and base URL. The base URL, must be absolute and it is often the URL of the web page containing the relative URL. Now, if you need to access a file whose relative URL and base URL are known, you must combine them to create an absolute URL.
