Generally, I tend to bookmark sites for reference and code help. This time I decided to bookmark more as an FYI. This blog gives readers an idea of how PHP is used on some of the web's most popular sites. Some of the statistics regarding lines of code for flickr are incredible.

I found this website by googling php for dummies. I was having a difficult time after reading and watching the tutorials so I immediately began looking for the basics and some explainations. This site made it easy to get the basics and a lot of alternative ways to find tutorials. I recommend it for anyone as confused as I was at the getgo.

Here is a short quiz I made in PHP! It was actually pretty fun to make. It is a short 10 question quiz with completely random questions. Enjoy!

cruft? or uncruft?

I've been exploring Google Book Search (I met with some members of the team recently) and I find many other people aren't aware of it. I was hoping to be able to find and browse an O'Reilly book here, but I see they don't fully participate in the program. There are, however, many books offering a Limited Preview, so hopefully others will find this bookmark of value.

I found this helpful for me, the "Absolute Beginner"! Describes a little more about what PHP is, what it does, and how we can utilize it.

I know I already "bookmarked something relevant" this module but I couldn't resist sharing this one as well. It's a VERY basic PHP tutorial with great links -- and is broken into bullet points. Bullet points make me happy! Bullets, however, do not. Happy PHPing.

This page has a number of assorted questions and answers regarding php and MySQL. Good to browse through should you find yourself stuck on something.

Here is PHP and MySQL manual that Professor Halavais directed me to when I was having (and still having) trouble with Module 4's challenges.

This tutorial tells you how to create interesting thumbnail images using PHP. It includes a video demonstration as well as some PHP coding.

This is a graduation countdown until when I (and anyone else who plans on graduating next spring actually) app for facebook! It was a little confusing at first with the facebook api, but I once I got used to it it was just a matter getting the php to work. Facebook doesn't support javascript fully so I had to find a countdown in php....it doesn't look quite as cool as the javascript one, but it still works. FYI, it's a little plain...but it works!

This is my final project. all the pages validate, and i have included the little icon the validation page provides you. I have used ajax and php on the first page to display course information when you select a course from the drop down menu. on the courses page, i have included a javascript validation to make sure you fill out all the fields if you want to submit a rating and comments. The php automatically displays the comment once posted. any questions, just ask! Thanks for everything

This is very nice. Enjoying the subtle differences in this challenge among those who did it.

I was bel to find this really helpful site that provides detailed help on different web programming languages, code snipits, and tutorials. Of all the sites out there, I think this one has been the most helpful - easy to use and easy to understand. I wish I had found this sooner! Languages: ASP, PHP, Javascript, HTML, SQL

This is my rendition of the ESP cards with random card generation. This one had taken me a while because I wasn't quite getting the concept of how the url were being passed. After re-watching the videos, I was able to grasp the concept better. I had originally thought that i could have the php function on a switch and then have a hidden input variable passed to the url...turn out i was over-thinking it....rather than give away the answer, just see for yourself!

Nice!

I think I'm finally starting to understand php. It's not the easiest language, thats for sure! (or is it!?) With that said, here is my Fibonacci Sequence up to 500. I looked a variety of different codes online, but didn't use just one. After looking at a whole bunch I realized there are quite a few ways to write this code. Which in my mind, only compicated matters more...

Yes! It's true of most programming tasks: there are many ways to accomplish the same thing. In some ways it does complicate things, but it's also (though it may not feel like it now) makes it fun! It's especially good when you find a "good hack"--a shortcut that makes your code better, faster, shorter, and more simple. Congrats on this one, it's a hard program to puzzle out.

This site offers mySQL tutorials and even shows how to create a database by making a blog.

This site is very helpful for review. While I was able to complete the PHP assignments some of the concepts were a little hazy. This site is helpful if you would like further explanation. The author provides example code and breaks down each step in a way that is easy to understand. For instance. Here was one of the basic examples:\n\nLoops like these come in handy whenever you're working with long lists of things (such as jokes stored in a database... hint-hint!), but for now we'll illustrate with a trivial example: counting to ten.\n\n$count = 1;\nwhile ($count );\n $count++;\n}\n\nKind of scary-looking, I know, but let me talk you through it line by line.

This page has the php that shows the comments that are in the mySQL db table. They are displayed for all the world to see.

A MySQL cheat sheet from the folks at Added Bytes. It isn't much for specific syntax, but it gives a broad overview. Explains different types of data used in setting up your database table. Also much date and time info, functions, and some sample select queries. Gives a feel for what's involved with the PHP/MySQL combination.
