PHP HELP, PHP TUTORIALS, OBJECT-ORIENTED PHP5 PROGRAMMING

This programming tutorial will teach you how to create a simple, yet secure login script utilizing PHP using MySQL and bracing for XSS attack prevention.

You have no doubt encountered suggestions on how to optimize PHP scripts for speed. These suggestions are carried out from benchmarking results performed by different PHP professionals. This article will illustrate a more accurate and reliable means of doing benchmarking tests to find out if these suggestions can significantly contribute to speed.

This second look at the Liskov Substitution Principle aims to teach you how to develop better, more powerful PHP applications.

Using PHP to serve downloadable content is more efficient, secure, and flexible than the traditional direct link method (using a hyperlink). In this programming tutorial you will learn some tips to optimize the file downloading process on your website.

This PHP programming tutorial focuses on how to utilize the Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) to develop better OOP applications.

Facebook comments are a great way to optimize your site for social media and add a level of user-engagement to you site. Quality website comments can increase your website's credibility, as well as its traffic. This tutorial will teach you how to use Facebook's API Connect to integrate comment boxes on your website in a few simple steps, utilizing a little PHP and some elbow grease.

In this first part of a programming series, you will learn how to create segregated interfaces to perform specific tasks in PHP. In this instance, you will be using them to iterate through arrays.

In this programming tutorial, you will learn how to create a simple caching system using a PHP segregated interface.

Segregated interfaces aren't anything new in PHP. Simply put,a segregated interface is a regular interface whose contract provides implementers with the functionality to perform one or more specific tasks. In this second part of a series, we will be using them to create a registry system.

PHP array string functions are some of the most important functions you need to know in PHP if you want to become an efficient programmer. In this tutorial, we will look at the most commonly used array string functions, including (but not limited to) count, push, in_array, asort, and pop.

In this article, we will look at seven great, lightweight PHP frameworks. Each framework has been tested for speed and useability. We will be looking at the following frameworks: Cakephp, CodeIgnitor, Symfony, yii, RainFramework, Doophp, and Kohana.

In this programming tutorial, we will look at different methods to redirect URLs in PHP. Specifically, we will be examining 301 URL redirect methods via code, meta refresh and the use of PHP header location settings to invoke a redirection.

PHP GET and POST are predefined global and associated array variables used for retrieving user submitted information passed using HTTP GET and HTTP POST methods. They are mostly used with PHP web form applications where you need to interact with your user input. This tutorial is a complete guide to using PHP GET and POST functions with illustrative examples and security considerations.

In this final part of our series on external iterators (loops) in PHP, we will look at how to retrieve data using the ArrayIterator SPL class.

Let’s face it: building custom external iterators is one of those things that we, as PHP developers, have to tackle sooner or later. Whether it comes to iterating over database result sets or traversing plain array elements, external iterators are powerful, reusable structures that permit you to develop more efficient object-oriented applications. This is the third part in our series on external iterators in PHP.
