PHP HELP, PHP TUTORIALS, OBJECT-ORIENTED PHP5 PROGRAMMING

One of the most common tasks that a PHP programmer has to perform when developing web applications with CodeIgniter is loading a bunch of views to generate different sections of a web document. As with many other features provided by this framework, there are several ways to work with view files. This seven-part article series shows you many different ways to handle views. In this third part, we'll focus on nested views and other methods.

Welcome to the fifth installment of a series focused on using the active record pattern with PHP. Made up of seven episodes, this series walks you through the progressive development of a MySQL abstraction class that utilizes the active record approach to perform CRUD (Create, Remove, Update, Delete) database operations and SELECT queries, without having to explicitly code any SQL statements.

Welcome to the second installment of a series that shows you how to handle views with CodeIgniter. Made up of seven parts, this series explains different methods that you may use for loading view files within your CI-based web applications, ranging from working with a simple sequential approach, to including views within other views. This part will show you how to improve your web page's appearance with CSS.

In most cases, the implementation of the active record pattern in PHP (and other programming languages too) is carried out through a few data mapper objects, which are used to perform CRUD operations on a group of targeted database tables. This seven-part article series describes the advantages of using the active record pattern in a variety of situations, and shows you how to do it.

The Code Igniter framework makes it easy for developers to implement a Model-View-Controller design pattern in PHP. This concept can be difficult for newcomers to grasp, so this seven-part series of articles will focus on one aspect of it: views, and the many clever ways you can handle them with Code Igniter. Welcome to the first part.

If you’re a PHP programmer who wants to learn how to implement the active record pattern within a MySQL abstraction class to make your database-driven applications more robust and maintainable, then look no further. Welcome to the third part of a series focusing on the active record pattern. Made up of seven articles, this series explains how to take advantage of the functionality provided by this popular design pattern to build an extensible MySQL-accessing class. This class will allow you to perform several queries without explicitly writing any SQL statements.

If you’re a PHP programmer looking for a comprehensive guide to using the most relevant functions that come with the X-debug extension, then this set of articles might be what you need. Welcome to the last part of a series focusing on debugging in PHP with the Xdebug extension. In seven approachable parts, this series gets you started utilizing this library's numerous features by way of a hands-on approach.

Regardless of its rather intimidating name, the active record pattern is actually quite simple to implement with PHP when developing database-driven applications. Indeed, this pattern permits you to achieve a high level of abstraction when performing typical operations, such as insertions, updates and deletions of records, since all of these tasks are handled transparently by data mappers objects or a data access class.

Welcome to the sixth installment of a series that covers debugging in PHP with the Xdebug extension. Comprised of seven approachable tutorials, this series gets you started using the set of functions provided by this helpful library, so you can begin debugging your own PHP applications with an excellent level of control.

Using the active record pattern to develop a database-driven application offers many advantages. It can save PHP developers a wealth of time in coding and code maintenance, because you can take advantage of SQL abstraction. This first part of a series will walk you through the basics of using the active record pattern.

In this fifth part of a series on using the Xdebug extension to help debug your PHP programs, we'll take a closer look at the xdebug_start_code_coverage() and xdebug_get_code_coverage() functions. Specifically, we'll see how we can extend their usage when working with conditional statements. As always, we'll complement theory with a number of hands-on examples.

Adding geo-location capabilities to a web site isn’t too hard; it’s possible to develop an IP-to-country mapping program with PHP, which can be incorporated into a site in a few easy steps. If you’re interested in learning how to build this application, then keep reading. This is the final installment of a four-part series that covers developing an IP-to-country mapping application with PHP.

The Xdebug PHP extension combines a set of powerful functions with an easy learning curve. This appealing mixture turns it into the choice of many PHP developers for debugging PHP applications with a great level of detail. If you want to learn how to get the most out of this debugging library without having to spend long hours reading its user manual, then keep reading. In this seven-part series of articles you’ll find an approachable guide to utilizing its most important functions. I will use numerous code samples to instruct you in the use of the Xdebug extension.

If you’re a PHP developer interested in learning how to develop an IP-to-country application that can be integrated into any existing web site, then look no further. Welcome to the third part of a series on developing an IP-to-country mapping application with PHP. Made up of four approachable tutorials, this series teaches you how to create a program like this by using a single MySQL lookup table, and shows you how to use this program to enrich your own web sites with geo-location capabilities.

If you’re a PHP developer who’s searching for an approachable guide to using the most relevant functions that come bundled with the X-debug extension, then look no further. Welcome to the third article of a series on debugging in PHP with the X-debug extension. Comprised of seven tutorials, this series teaches you how to utilize the features that come with the X-debug library to debug your own PHP applications.
