How to Code PHP Tutorial Part 1
I cover the basics in this tutorial including:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJwWDS8p7qE[/youtube]A year back there was constant talk about the move from an Analog to Digital TV over the air broadcast.I like many others with cable didn’t care because we already had cable. But, a month ago I realized I didn’t watch much except the major networks and decided to look into buying a Tuner Analog to Digital Converter for my TV.
All I can say is wow! I never thought the picture would be nice, but I think it is better. I still get ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, CW and numerous public broadcasting channels, with the Digital TV Tuner. Also I only needed to buy an antenna for my digital TV. My regular analog TV, obviously needed the Analog to Digital TV Tuner and the antenna. Continue reading Moving from Analog to Digital TV Tuner
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hNdCIpMI58[/youtube]After you create a website that gets a good amount of traffic you will start to attract hackers. It will happen! My high ranking sites have all been attacked and it’s almost impossible to stop, but it is quite easy to recover.
My site is hosted on Go Daddy and it is definitely not a Go Daddy related problem, as I have had sites hacked on other hosting companies. The reason I have all my sites on Go Daddy now is because Go Daddy has given me the easiest solution to fixing a hacked site. They actually helped me fix everything for free.
In this article I’ll show you how easy it is to recover from a hacker attack. Continue reading Did your WordPress Site Get Hacked?
In the last article, I explained what AJAX is and showed you how to dynamically change the text in DIV’s and SPAN’s without reloading the page. In this article I’ll show you how to place text from your server in DIV’s and SPAN’s, without reloading the page.
All About Events
Most of the time you will bring data onto your web page when an event has been triggered. So I thought it would make sense to list all of the events you can monitor: Continue reading AJAX What is it? How to AJAX Pt. 2
There is much confusion concerning Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX). First off AJAX is not a programming language. It provides a new way for you to use the languages I’ve taught you in previous tutorials:
AJAX provides you with the ability to:
Here I’ll show you the code that will allow a new user to activate their account and how to create multiple drop down boxes that automatically update. This should be a wild ride so let’s learn How to Code PHP.
PHP Activate Account Script
Obviously, you are going to need to connect to the database and include all of the HTML needed. See my first How to Code PHP Tutorial for that information. I’m just going to include the PHP code for the activation script to keep the article brief.
Here I’ll show you the code that was used on the New User Registration page. This code created the account and then sent the email, that the user will click to get to your activation page. Continue reading How to Code PHP: Activate Account & Multiple Drop Down Scripts
Here we continue our adventures in how to code PHP. I’m going to go through a couple scripts in this tutorial:
If you haven’t read my previous How to Code PHP articles, you should do that or you will be completely lost. I’m also going to skip all of the html that would normally be included so I can keep this article brief. I use the same HTML on all of these script pages, that I used in the previous PHP Tutorial, so refer to that for the rest of the code.

In this article I’m going to talk about using cookies and sessions in PHP. I’ll provide many examples to help you learn how to code PHP and then in the next article run you threw some PHP code you can use on your own sites.
Cookies & Sessions
There are two main ways for you to store information on your visitors and create a dynamic site. Cookies are used to store information on the visitors computer. Much like you do with arrays, cookies are stored as a key value pair.
Many people are afraid of cookies, because they think those websites that use them are tracking their every move. For this reason it may be hard to serve up the dynamic content that you want. There are work arounds for those visitors that have cookies shut off as you’ll soon see. Continue reading How to Code PHP Sessions & Cookies
Welcome to the second part of the How to Code PHP Tutorial. In this article I’ll show you the rest of the basics of using the PHP Engine. I’ll cover the following:
Do you want to learn How to Code PHP? Get your thinking caps on and let’s start cranking the PHP Engine.
PHP is a programming language that allows you to process and react to user actions on your website. While JavaScript allows you to process actions directly on a visitors computer, PHP requires that actions are processed on the server in which your website resides.
PHP is most commonly used to access databases on the server that hosts your website. Please read my SQL Tutorial before you read this article, or you may get lost. This tutorial will cover most all you can accomplish with PHP, but will very specifically cover how to interact with a database with PHP.
The Basics of PHP
Like my other tutorials, I will provide you with working PHP Sources you can use, but for now I’ll focus on the basics.
You can embed PHP code directly in your web pages by surrounding the code with an opening <?php and closing tag ?>. You also want to give your web page the PHP extension .php, when you embed PHP code in a web page. Continue reading How to Code PHP Part 1
One of the number one ways to make your business seem legitimate is to have an amazing sign. For some reason many business owners don’t have, or choose to use inferior signs. For those people that understand the importance of a great sign, I’ve assembled a list of some of the most beautiful sign samples I’ve ever seen. Use them as an example of what your sign should look like.
Put a sign like these in front of your place of business and wait for the customers to come pouring in. If these signs are used in collaboration with my store front and interior examples, watch out!
You can click the images for a bigger view of each sign. If you want to see more articles like this, comment below.

Here is the final installment for my SQL Tutorial, and today we are going to talk about:
Welcome back to my SQL tutorial. In this article I will cover the following topics:
Ok, I got a ton of emails asking me about the following:
Avoid Putting the Weight Back On
I accidentally created a diet that not only drops weight, but also keeps it off. Here is a giant article on The Diet Nutritional Plan I created and lost 64 pounds with. As I described in a past article, I based my diet off of about 20 Nutritionist Textbooks. It is a very simple diet, just avoid food high in fat, cholesterol and salt. Well in doing so, I cut out a food additive accidentally called MSG. By doing this, I now can’t eat anything unhealthy. Hence, permanent weight loss. Continue reading The Diet Nutritional Plan & MSG
There are many misconceptions when it comes to databases:
In the next series of articles I will show you how to use mySQL. A completely free database server that many consider to also be the best. Heck, NASA uses MySQL.
So do you need one?
If you answer any of these questions affirmative, the answer is yes:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhbS5oEFXOU[/youtube]My website is a bit odd with my focus on Web design, Communication, Marketing and Dieting! But, hey that’s me. I’m now down to 183 pounds and I’ve made a major discovery! Not only does my diet seem to hinder future weight gain, meaning the dreaded weight rebound, I think it may make it very hard to go back to unhealthy eating habits? Here is the link to the Original Diet Nutritional Plan.
This may be a positive or negative, but I can’t eat fast food anymore. Everytime I do I get stomach cramps. I’ve been doing a lot of research on this and I believe it is because of a chemical called monosodium glutamate (MSG). MSG is also known as Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, on products that want to state that they don’t contain MSG. Continue reading Diet Nutritional Plan Keeps the Weight Off
