About Hosting:
I use and recommend Hostgator for all my hosting needs. It is the only company I have tried (and I have tried plenty) that hasn't given me a headache and responds quickly and fairly to everything I ever need. I run 3 accounts that host over 20 sites with Hostgator and I am happy recommending it to all my family, friends and clients. If you are looking for a cheap yet solid host, IMO Hostgator is the way to go. I do get a comission if you register through the link, but even if you don't like me and don't want me to get a comission, go to Hostgator for your hosting needs and save yourself plenty of cash and headaches.
Are your scripts homeless?
NetBulge.com is devoted to web development. If you are too, then this is the site to house your best scripts and articles. Think about it: exposure, knowledge sharing and free rent.
Join us!How would you get people to your site if the search engines didn't exist?
Imagine one day you flip on your PC, log on to the Internet and go to google.com. The browser alerts you and says that there is no website found at that address. No problem you think, as you head on over to Yahoo.com - same thing, no website found at that url. Now something seems fishy, go to MSN.com because you know Microsoft will never run out of money and their search engine will be up. Nope, instead you get another alert box telling you that there is no website found at that url.
Imagine that!
XHTML, the standard, was first released back in 2000. Roughly five years later we begin to see major websites revised to use this standard. Even the favorite whipping boy of standards-compliance punditry, Microsoft, presents their primary homepage
msn.com in XHTML.
Standards compliant XHTML sites are still the minority. The reason is simple. When the
W3C released the new standard, the rest of the web running on HTML did not cease to function. Without any pressing need to conform to the new standard, designers continue to use old, familiar methods. These methods will perform in any modern browser, so why bother switching?
Ever thought about the way a web page is browsed? Have you taken time to study common scan patterns? It makes a big difference to know how your visitors interact with your pages and this article is a good starting point.
The background of a page is an important element. Since it occupies the entire screen, a good choice will probably go unnoticed while a bad choice can easily drive your users insane. Here are a few ideas to keep in mind when designing backgrounds for the web.
It almost felt like a joke finding out about this type of server packs after spending a couple of days working hard to setup my personal web server to test my PHP – MySql scripts. Reactor server comes with Apache, PHP, MySql, SQLite, phpMyAdmin, Nuke, etc, and all in an almost plug and play package. If you don’t have one of these in your PC, you better be asking yourself why. – The only draw back: about 38 MBs in size.
NOTE: This is ver1.2 that supports PHP 4. For the latest version visit their homepage.
Often people ask the same question: What is the best PHP book? - The answer is so simple they still go ahead and buy some book. Besides being one of the most thorough manuals ever written, the online PHP manual includes user comments adding greatly to its richness. This is the first and most important resource a PHP coder should have.
