PHP: Cross site AJAX
by: MaxMouse - 2009-10-29 10:18:42
While developing across several domains I found AJAX lacking, in that I could only request an XML document from the same domain the script was currently executing from. Since I required some data to be shared across several domains I ended up with duplicate XML documents, updating them meant updating the master local XML document then uploading it to all of the different servers one after another. The following is a demonstration on cross site AJAX using a PHP proxy, pAJAX anyone?

PHP: Replace PHP variables with custom error page (Apache)
by: MaxMouse - 2009-08-21 11:20:34
Recently i was trying to improve search engine spidering on a website, and read several articles regarding spiders, do they like something.php?somevar=foo&anotherVar=bar do they follow them using the entire querystring or not? well the jury is still out, there is evidence google (for example) does at least make a passing effort to spider them. But this wasn't good enough for me, the following article explains how to use custom 404 error pages to serve pages that do not exist.

PHP: Dynamic Colors and Alpha Channels With PHP and the GD Library
by: pyroinfernia - 2004-01-04 23:40:47
This script uses a colorlist of all of the css2 "named" colors to dynamically generate all/user-selected colors with all/user-selected values of alpha transparency. You would only have to use the name of the color as a variable, with the number of the desired alpha transparency, instead of having to define, by hand, each color and each permutation of alpha transparency for each color to use in your image.

PHP: Preventing Browsers and Proxies from Caching
by: dimport - 2003-06-30 19:59:30
If you produce dynamic webpages in PHP, it is often important not to allow the client to cache the pages, because they change all the time anyway. The users wouldn't like to press "Refresh" every time something changes. On www.php.net I've found something very useful...

PHP: file handles with PHP

You must admit that reading/writing files is a big part of any programming language you learn, almost everything you code will have to save something(spec cgi) until next time. Therefore it's extra important to understand it, I recomment you to click the link at the end of each section or drop me a "private message"(Don't exept a polite response but you still can :).

PHP: Follow-up to Connecting and Retrieving Data Using PHP and MySQL
by: dimport - 2003-06-21 07:19:46
First of all, I just want to make it really clear that I'm not trying to blast SlipTop's tutorial in any way. He did a pretty good job providing some info on the basics of using PHP and MySQL together. I just felt that if someone was going to take this and use it as a basis for learning about the two, some clarifications should be made. I know these are things that I've found useful in my foray with PHP/MySQL and would've been very helpful to have learned from the onset.
