This requires effective communication among all of the stakeholders. Stakeholders are those who are going to benefit from the project in some form or another. The key stakeholders of the project include the developers and the users. Leaders of the customer organization, as well as the leaders of the software development organizations, are also among the stakeholders. http://tc.eserver.org/35479.html http://tc.eserver.org/35479.html PHP is one of the most widely used open-source server-side scripting languages that exist today. With over 20 million indexed domains using PHP, including major websites like Facebook, Digg and WordPress, there are good reasons why many Web developers prefer it to other server-side scripting languages, such as Python and Ruby. This post presents 50 useful PHP tools that can significantly improve your programming workflow. Among other things, you’ll find a plethora of libraries and classes that aid in debugging, testing, profiling and code-authoring in PHP. http://tc.eserver.org/35070.html http://tc.eserver.org/35070.html Today i want to introduce you to jSON (JavaScript Object Notation), in short, it is a simple format designed to exchange data between different programming languages. I will show you how to create JavaScript object, convert it to JSON string, and send to PHP script, which will decode jSON string to readable format (for PHP). But that’s not all, PHP script will create it’s own data object encode it to jSON string and send it back. All communication between JavaScript and PHP will be done thru AJAX. http://tc.eserver.org/35021.html http://tc.eserver.org/35021.html Google Web Toolkit (GWT) applications, apart from connecting to servlets in time-honored Java fashion, can also use PHP Web services to send and receive data in XML. You'll explore methods to generate XML documents and process them, both in the Java language and in PHP. http://tc.eserver.org/33880.html http://tc.eserver.org/33880.html PHP is an interpreted language. This means that each time a PHP generated page is requested, the server must read in the various files needed and "compile" them into something the machine can understand (opcode). A typical Drupal page requires more than a dozen of these bits of code be compiled. Opcode cache mechanisms preserve this generated code in cache so that it need only be generated a single time to server hundreds or millions of subsequent requests. Enabling opcode cache will reduce the time it takes to generate a page by up to 90%. http://tc.eserver.org/32734.html http://tc.eserver.org/32734.html Ordered lists are boring! Sure you can apply background images and do quite a bit of sprucing up to a regular ordered list, but you just don’t get enough control over the number itself. Here is an example where you ditch the traditional ordered list and create your own! http://tc.eserver.org/32704.html http://tc.eserver.org/32704.html Security in a PHP application includes remote and local security concerns.

It augments raw HTML by allowing significant interactivity and increased functionality. It has become popular in recent years as it is easy to begin working with and supported by a good majority of web hosting companies. http://tc.eserver.org/30410.html http://tc.eserver.org/30410.html The humble contact form: It's the cornerstone of nearly every website, from the humble personal blog right up to the corporate megasite--and a billion small business sites in-between. In the early years of operating a website, we were happy to put our shiny new email address out there for anyone to mailto, but the rise of the spammer has made us justifiably wary of publicizing our contact details--enter the contact form. http://tc.eserver.org/28279.html http://tc.eserver.org/28279.html When you are creating a web application forms and data should be held strictly seperate. In the PHP community this rule is ignored and PHP itself is being abused. Template and framework system developers have made it more commonplace. CMS developers seem to have forgotten that under no circumstances should the code used to display forms be allowed to process the data involved. Here's why not and the solution. http://tc.eserver.org/28277.html http://tc.eserver.org/28277.html PHP while not the top programming language does dominate the web. It is seen as being easy to learn and can be used on any webserver. So PHP is gaining popularity by leaps. But PHP is also approaching the end of its development life cycle. The language itself is close to the point where it can no longer grow. When you look at PHP6 you can see the trend in development is turning towards cleaning up. This is a sure sign that things are close to being finished. That and the fact that all new features have been passed over. http://tc.eserver.org/28244.html http://tc.eserver.org/28244.html Automate text flow along an irregular outline with PHP. http://tc.eserver.org/28042.html http://tc.eserver.org/28042.html Test-driven development and unit tests are the latest way to make sure your code is behaving as you expect through changes and refactoring.

In this tutorial I will show you how to use PHP and the MySQL database to store information on the web and include it into your website. Before you read this tutorial you should have at least a basic knowledge of how to use PHP. http://tc.eserver.org/27553.html http://tc.eserver.org/27553.html According to Netcraft, PHP overtook Microsoft's ASP as the most popular web scripting language back in the spring of 2002. And PHP has continued its explosive growth ever since. Today, when the Apache web server powers nearly 70% of all sites on the Internet and its closest competitor, Microsoft's IIS, has a market share of just over 20%, PHP is far and away the most widely used server-side scripting language. Just what is it that makes PHP so popular? http://tc.eserver.org/27506.html http://tc.eserver.org/27506.html For those of you who have used PHP template engines, the basic concepts of Smarty should look quite familiar.

This seemingly simple question is often asked by those new to PHP. Suprisingly, however, some of those who claimed to be PHP programmer also can't tell the difference. It's very simple, really. http://tc.eserver.org/22821.html http://tc.eserver.org/22821.html Learn how authentication, cookies, and sessions can add security and a personal touch to your site. http://tc.eserver.org/22818.html http://tc.eserver.org/22818.html Got some righteous digital pics that you want to display on your site?

But what if they don’t? New ALA author Chris Clark tells how to build a cross-browser, backward-compatible, forward-compatible, standards-compliant style sheet switcher in just five lines of code. http://tc.eserver.org/14072.html http://tc.eserver.org/14072.html Ces termes affreux sont très à la mode dans le milieu du développement de solutions/sites Internet ou Intranet. On ne peut pas discuter 2 minutes avec un développeur sans qu'il en prononce un ou deux (voire tous si il est dans la catégorie 'Développeur souffrant de gros problèmes de communication avec les non-développeurs' !). Pour dire la vérité, il est même parfois difficile de s'y retrouver quand on est de la partie... C'est pour cela que nous allons essayer ici de définir simplement ces termes et de les regrouper par grandes familles. Ces termes caractérisent les différents langages que l'on peut utiliser pour le développement d'applications web. Ils se séparent en deux grandes familles selon que les scripts (programmes) s'exécutent sur le serveur ou sur le client. http://tc.eserver.org/13601.html http://tc.eserver.org/13601.html In this article we'll build a simple, template-driven site that separates style, content, and structure in your website. We'll create a cross-browser stylesheet switcher that remembers the user's preferences, touching on PHP variables, cookies, if statements, and including pages with require_once.
