First let me describe the
meaning of Ajax before moving
to our discussion Ajax
(sometimes called Asynchronous
JavaScript and XML) is a way
of programming for the Web
that gets rid of the
hourglass. Data, content, and
design are merged together
into a seamless whole. When
your customer clicks on
something on an Ajax driven
application, there is very
little lag time.
A detailed look at how
comments are used in PHP and
how to use them. Furthermore,
details on troubleshooting
with PHP comments is outlined
and explained.
PHP books are becoming harder
and harder to find. Not
because there is a lack of
quantity, but quality. The
right PHP book should guide
your certain skill level to an
advanced level.
One thing that is often
difficult to gauge is how much
traffic you need before you
can start to make some money
out of your site from adverts.
Of course, if you allow Google
to place Adsense units
(adverts) on your site you
can, at least in theory, start
earning money from day one.
The reality though, is that
you need to get some serious
traffic before this type of
advertising will reap any real
financial rewards.
Regular expressions enable you
to find patterns in strings,
for example, all the H1 tags
in an HTML file, or all the
words beginning with the
letter 'p'. Although the use
of regular expressions is
possible in several
programming languages, it is
Perl's support for regular
expressions that makes it the
language of choice for pattern
matching and substitution.
Like a lot of web developers,
I'm not always that
disciplined when it comes to
the file naming convention I
use and I sometimes end up
with a situation whereby I
have some files that are in
lowercase, some that begin
with a capital, and some that
are a bit of a mixture.
AJAX has not only sprouted but
has got root hold in
developing dynamic web
applications, that reflects
changes in micro seconds
thereby saving reloading time,
improving usability, providing
faster accessibility, to more
web pages in lesser time.
AJAX, acronym for Asynchronous
Javascript And XML is the term
whispered from almost every
software developer mind and
its waves are touching the
network boundaries.
I recently had to develop a
very simple email manager for
a client. It was necessary to
extract some text from a
database and then to insert
that text into an email
message, which was then fired
off to a mailing list. The
problem I had was that the
text contained HTML tags as
well as other HTML characters
(for example, nbsp;), and I
only wanted plain text in the
email.
When designing a web site, it
is occasionally necessary to
redirect a user to another URL
to the one they have tried to
access. This can normally be
accomplished using HTTP
redirect, however sometimes
they just are not applicable
or you would prefer to do it
with PHP, this article will
show you how.
Create dynamic, easy-to-update
CSS menus using PHP, MySQL and
Dreamweaver. The CSS menus are
very search engine friendly,
easily changeable via MySQL
and CSS, and can be included
in a Dreamweaver template for
simple site-wide navigation
management.
Even if you don't know how to
code one line bit of PHP, the
Dreamweaver PHP buttons can
help you create database
functions on your webpages.
Learn about the easy PHP
buttons features of
Dreamweaver to build your own
web-based PHP/SQL
applications, even if you are
a total newbie.
When you have a public
submission form on your
website (contact page, forum
submission) and need to
prevent spam auto-submitters -
common way to do this is to
implement CAPTCHA - an image
with randomly generated
string.
Regex can be scary at first
but if you can get the basics,
it is really not too hard to
understand. In this article,
we are going to look at how
regex comes into the picture
when writing php applications.
Most of us are uncomfortable
with using fractions when
writting programs. If we
encounter a fraction, we will
first convert it into a
floating point number (with
decimals) and proceed from
there. Most programming
languages would prefer to use
0.5 as opposed to 1/2 because
the later conflicts with the
syntax of the languages. In
this article, I will discuss
my attempt to work with
fractions in one of the PHP
projects that I have done.
