PHP Tutorial Or Project Examples
I've worked with ASP, ASP.NET and
WebSpeed in the past, but now I'd like to learn PHP. I've already
gotten a Fedora web server up and running with Apache and MySQL.
I'm looking for some examples - or even better a free project - to look
over and see how other are using PHP to read/write records to and from
MySQL. I'm trying to create a very simple web based contact management
system that will store data in a couple of tables.
Can someone recommend any examples or web sites to refer to? I'm about
to dive into the PHP manual, but I'd like some other material to study
as well.

Looking For Examples Of Huge MySQL & PHP
Does anyone know of any existing operational web sites where a massive (ie. millions of records) MySQL database combines with PHP to provide a directory service? I'm thinking along the lines of the White or Yellow Pages or similar. I ask because I'm researching a project which provides a (large) web-based specialist directory service, and I'd like to be in contact with people who've already done it with MySQL and PHP. I use MySQL and PHP all the time for small applications, but I'm not sure how they compare (in terms of speed and reliability) in the commercial world against the expensive alternatives.

Examples Of Using Inherance And Interfaces In PHP 5
As many of you knows, Zend has relased the Beta version of PHP 5. I have allready make some tests of interfaces, classes inherance, static and public variables, etc, and everything looks ok. Now, when you work with PHP the most common thing is to do something with databases, you have somehow the "same kind of pattern" like: logins, update, add, delete data from de db, show data and that is it. Now, I will like to use the new PHP 5 features in my next project. I was trying to desing some clases and inferfaces for the "pattern" that PHP use to have, and have not come with any good worthy idea. I know Java too, so I was very happy about the the new features in PHP5 and looking to use object model features. Im looking for very clear examples on, how you have used the new features in PHP5 to do the "old PHP thing"?

Printing Code Examples
I am building a tutorial site, all is working apart from 1 thing. If i type in some php code even basic stuff like <?php echo date ('Y'); ?> then when its submitted into the database the php gets stripped away i'm using the tinymce editor if that helps make it clear. I need to be able to show code examples as my tutorials are for web design does anyone know a way of showing code. I can disable the tinycme editor and type code right into the textfeild and use the html safe values like: <?php echo date ('Y'); ?> but thats not a good solution as i want to use the tinymce editor as my members will be able to write some tutorials.

Real Life Examples Of Mysql+session_set_save_handler
In my test setup using my own session handlers with session_set_save_handler and mysql, the session handler opens and close mysql connections. But what if my page also requires some mysql queries? Should I open a new connection or use the already opened one (opened by the session handler)? I have made it a good practice to close a connection after a query but if I do it with only connection open no session data will be written to my mysql table. I have seen some scripts using persistent connections but are not sure what would be the best for a real world environment.

PHP/CRM Project
I'm embarking on a php crm project for my company. I've done a fair bit of php programming. I'm asking for advise on how to approach this. I want to do this project as something I can sell afterwards. Bascially I want to develop modules that talk to each other. so index.php?module=whatever?action=whatever Also I want to make an addon class so making an addon to this is rather easy. My main problem is, how do you make each module talk to each other. How do I know what functions the clients module has? How can I insert info into the client module from an addon class (on the html page). IE: I write the client module. Then someone writes a module that adds pictures to clients. How can that clients module dislplay the picture without knowledge of the addon class that the other person has made? Make I make an array which passes the html from module to module and it inserts it in?

New Project
I'm working on a new project of mine. The idea is that it becomes a webgame where you have the oppertunity to become the best hacker. I want to include a console, but I don't know how I can do that. It has to be in some sort of text area that displays the commands that have been processed and the results (just like a real console) and an inpute line beneath it. That stuff is doable, however, how do I get it to echo the stuff the user puts in AND process the command? Anyone have an idea on that? Also I would like to call anyone who wants to help me with coding this project. Can't offer money in return, but I'll add you in the credits of course. You can e-mail me if you want in, or reply to this topic.

About This Project
For those unfamiliar with Yahoo's Stat Tracker, you log in and it will pull the stats for each player on your team. If they are in your lineup it will add/subtract the stats to your totals and if a player is not in your lineup it will not add/subtract the points. It will do the same for each Team in your league so that way you can always see what your Final Score is at any given time. Here is my thought on how it would work(if possible): 1.) Log in using Yahoo ID. 2.) Select Fantasy League ID 3.) Select Fantasy Team 4.) Load League/Team Info 5.) Grab the Stats(Real Time Updates if possible) 6.) Show Realtime Scores between all Team in the League. Again, how hard of a task would this be? Where do I even begin to start this project?

First PHP + Flash Project
Basically its going to be a chart of say 20 items that are ranked according to vote by registered users. So heres a few initial pointers i need help with to get the ball rolling: 1. The Flash page is loaded how do I initiate php script to search a mysql db to read a list of items containing the fields (id,name,votes,date_entered) 2. Would it be best to calculate ranking server side with script and then stream list to flash movie or calculate ranking via action-script. 3. When a user wishes to vote they enter their username and password in 2 text boxes (stored in another db) and then clicks on item to vote for..how would this data be sent to a script that would update the db accordingly. 4. After the database has been updated the flash movie needs to be then updated, am i better again doing this via another post to movie or with action-script? These are initial thoughts and i'm sure there will be many more queries as I hopefully progress. I think alot of people will benefit from this project as there are not alot (or enough) tutorials on Flash interaction with db's via PHP.

Pricing A Php Project
I've been asked to do my first php project, other than my personal homepage. I'm an experienced developer, and after getting a couple of books and doing some experimenting, I'm generating pdf reports from data files and getting ready to add mysql support. Are there any guidelines I can follow for pricing a php/web project? Hourly doesn't seem right for *this* project, since I was still learning php. But from here on out, I should be much faster. But how do I charge for *this* one?

Is PhP/mySQL Right For This Project?
Note: This is different from previous post. I am coming from a C/C++ background. I have a frontend (written in C#), my backend was originally meant to be a J2EE application with PostGreSQL. I am worried about support/maintenance issues going forward since I no little J2EE (have some Java) - but am no longer able to rely on the J2EE developer going forward. I am now seriously considering using WAMP, but I am not yet terribly convinced about inter-op issues between C# and PHP. I also remain a bit sceptical about a possible lack of infrastructure previously provided by the J2EE app server - i.e. scalability, robustness, role based security etc. Are there any hard technical documents I can refer to allay (at least) some of these fears? I cannot seem to find any documentation referring to my type of setup - i.e. a C# frontend and issuing requests (e.g. logon for user authorization/verification etc). A search on Google is not bringing up much. Any recommendation on books that will be helpful in instructing how to build such a system (as well as mentioning any potential pitfalls),

Project Price
I'm just looking for a little input on pricing. Basics of project: Inventory Management Inventory showcasing E- commerce Normally, I have a guy who comes to me with a job and says "here's the job, I'll give you $500 for it." I will usually take it because I just do this on the side and am putting all the money I can into a house downpayment and paying off credit cards. Anyway, I am tired of working and getting undersold. Mainly because it's all his relatives or friends for the most part. Because of this, I don't really know what to charge on my own. I most likely won't be designing the site but just building the back end and setting it up with a payment processor, and possibly setting up the server.

MWm's Project
I learned how to program in PHP, how to use a MySQL database and how to mix both. All this from 3dbuzz website's video lessons. After that, I started to make a blog from zero. After 4 hours of straight work I couldn't believe what I had already achieved! The next day I started to implement new features like login and logout and post remove etc., as I mention in each post I've been creating with all the news. You can check it at <snip> It's running on my machine with WAMP but that's ok. Now, the big "problem" I have is not much as a problem, it's more like a "warning". When someone registers and then tries to login, after a failed login it echoes the error [created by me], but if the login is correct [both username and password], it echoes '"username" logged' but also echoes an error ["Warning"] from mysql that I quote here: "Warning: Unknown: Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the session extension does not consider global variables as a source of data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively. in Unknown on line 0" Can't clean this warning or even fully understand it.

Is There Any Good PIM GPL Project In PHP To Purchase?
I would like to substitute every M$_Outlook installation in my office to a network/web based PIM. I think about PHP because I already know the language and can optionally personalize the software to my needs. Does anyone have some experience with GPL projects based on PHP which could help me with this migration? I am concentrating in the address book part of the PIM because it's the mainly used function (in my office) of Outlook. I would like to make my coworkers have a common tool/interface, without the need of personal administration (centralized backup/repair/updates), and in order to speed up the passage to a system with more integration with other web tools (email, customer assistance, communication tracking, etc ...). The system I am thinking about is (obviously) multiuser, has some kind of attention to security and has to be GPL of course.

Modular Base Project
I am working on an idea for a piece of software that will have two versions, a light version and a full version. Both versions will be based off of the same "core" of the code base. The only difference being that the light version does not have as many modules as the full version. I am trying to figure out how to properly write the core of the application with PHP5 (and maybe Smarty or Wasp) that will allow me include modules. I have never writing an application that allows you to have modules. how to do that, or links to how-tos that may help guide me down the right path. One idea that may work would be to have all the modules in a database table with flags set to 0 for active and 1 for non-active. Then have the application do a query on the table and load the include files for the active modules. That to me does not seem like the idea plan though and could cause issues later on down the road with speed.
