Server Side Includes (SSI) are a category of simple server-side scripting languages used almost exclusively for the web. Among the most popular of these are PHP, Java, and ASP. As their name implies, their primary use is including the contents of one file into another one dynamically when the latter is served by a web server.

Single quote, double quote, or no quote? 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.

ENTER and Event-Driven Programming
The event driven programming model in ASP.NET made possible by HTML and WEB controls 'runat server' is a great idea but not without problems. It is a usability disaster that the use of ENTER in forms no longer works as expected.

How to Avoid Complicated PHP Forms and Data Processing
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.

Servlets are a key component of server-side Java development, but despite a number of attractive traits, servlets do not support or enforce the separation of content and presentation. To master that functionality, Rene Pawlitzek proposes Hamlets -- servlet extensions that provide this functionality within a lightweight framework implemented with less than 500 lines of Java source code.

Learning PHP: A Gentle Introduction
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?

Communicating with PHP (or any other server-side script) from Macromedia Flash has become much easier with the introduction of the LoadVars object in Macromedia Flash MX. Here's a sample in which I use a MySQL database (containing friends' e-mail and phone information and a picture and caption if we have one), a PHP script to access that information, and Macromedia Flash to present it. I'll go through each of the steps I went through to create it.

Make Ajax Development Easier with AjaxTags
Developers and users have much higher expectations for the usability and responsiveness of Web-based applications in the Web 2.0 era. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past two years, you've likely heard of Asynchronous JavaScript + XML (the Ajax technique). Ajax allows you to build slick, responsive, and highly dynamic browser-based user interfaces without requiring browser page reloads. This article takes a look at AjaxTags, a Java/JavaScript Library that lets you easily integrate Ajax functionality into your JSP pages.

PHP can do a lot for your Web operation. You can generate nice-looking printable receipts, invoices, and brochures. Disc-Cover has a test site that looks up info about a CD automatically and then generates a PDF label for the CD box that you can print, cut out, and use. And there are literally one billion other possible uses for dynamically generated PDFs.
