PHP: strtolower for Russian and Cyrillic

If you need to work with Russian text in PHP, you may notice that functions that are related to CaSe are not working as expected. I mean strtolower, strtouper, ucwords, and so on. In order to get what you need I suggest to use mb_convert functions. Here is the example:

How to Fix Broken Outlook 2010 PST File

Recently I have upgraded my Office to Office 2010. This version looks very interesting and I really like its look, that is especially related to mail. I liked it so much that I have decided to switch my default mail client (The Bat!). Especially I liked the instant search panel, that showed all linked messages.

After my laptop got stuck, I had to reset it. After that no related mail information was shown. I started looking for the fix and it came from Microsoft Website. After I run Scanpst.exe, there were some errors found and search data started showing again. I would also recommend this tool if you have any problems with your PST file.
