are there any sites providing tuts for combining php with flash?

[DigitalPimp]

Did you look through those urls?

I'd imagine the link called http://www.phpforflash.com might just might be what your looking for.

not the same as http://www.101-asp-tutorials.com/

[NitroLiq]

What, no Coldfusion?

[PixelSense]

yeah, not much coldfusion :/

[jjmancini]

What about XML links?

XML with flash....
Without flash.....

More resources then just the ones here, which are great, just not exhaustive.

[Jubba]

XML isn't a serverside language which is why it wasn't included when the list was first made. XML is datastorage, first and foremost. It is merely used in conjunction with server-side languages quite a bit.

[jjmancini]

Would it then be worth to start a new forum area for just XML? Becasue there are a lot of questions regarding it.

Just a thought. Thanks!

[Jubba]

Client-side scripting is technically where I would put XMl but if you are using XML with PHP or ASP or some other Server-side script then here would be the place, but this thread isn't for XML tutorials (well at least originally). When I update the lists I may include an XMl section.

[jjmancini]

Awesome!
That would be great!
Thanks for listening.

[ol4pr0]

Did i miss something or wasnt www.php.net not included which to my knowledge has the biggest tutorial on php :)

[Freddythunder]

http://us3.php.net/tut.php

I think you did miss something. Sure, there's a tutorial, but there's nothing much more than to show you a few simple things. Unless there's a secret tutorial section that I can't find.

[Jubba]

Actually I think you did miss something freddy-boy. PHP.net has a fairly large instructional section for people starting out with php. From basic syntax to OOP classes and the like.

http://us4.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php

and then from there you can find any other function you need help on.


And yes I neglected to put php.net up there for some stupid reason. I know it was on my original list but I just failed to convert it over when I posted the thread. When I revise this list It will be more comprehensive.

[Freddythunder]

Though I have never looked at that section before, I wouldn't really call that tutorials, but examples of how to use code. Somewhat like what you would see in the function list. However - I see how it can help. My bad! ;)

[Raziel]

how's about adding a few links to some good (fool proof) guides on installing apache, php, MySQL and phpMyAdmin in complete harmony ? cuz i've been trying for a while now and just can't get it all running good and proper :(

[b.rich]

hey i apoligize if someone posted this but I just came across this link over at phpbuilder.com and thought some other people besides me might find it usefull. This guy wrote a nice book about php and made it available for anyone to read! cool stuff.

how about css tutorials and forums? i don´t have any, but i´d apreciate if you do =) ....

heh heh.. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY after the fact.. but i learned the basics of CSS over at webmonkey.. this tutorial in paticular:

[batmitra]

does anyone know about tutorials about flash remoting? what i've found is very poor on that , and i think it was supposed to be the best resource, what i've found was macromedia. :hugegrin:

[mlk]

Very useful tool to develop php/mysql websites: http://www.easyphp.org/

This sets up an apache server on your machine (which you can access from your browser at http://127.0.0.1/localfiles ) and a local mysql database, which you can configure to have the same set up as your on-line server.

I heavily recommend it !

[Sliker_Hawk]

Just thought I should say:

PHP
If you ever come across a function you want to know more about, you can almost always just type '[function name] php' in google, press 'I'm feeling lucky' and come straight to a page about the function from php.net (http://www.php.net).
Such as: str_replace php (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=str_replace+php&btnI=Google+Search&meta=).

HTML

[hoangle56]

Very good!
Thanks!

[cr125rider]

It seems to me that the links are broken under the JavaScript section to Lycos's Webmonkey. Just an FWI. Thanks for compiling the list guys.

[dalewb]

the link to www.phpforflash.com is a bunch of poopy - it just keeps redirecting you to advertisements and other search engines - yuck!

[apachedude]

Great overall article! There is a TON of code snippets (http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/apache-htaccess.html) and SSL usage in .htaccess (http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/apache-ssl-in-htaccess-examples.html)

Here are some SSL in Apache (http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/ssl-example-usage-in-htaccess.html) examples:


SSL Redirect Method (doesn't require mod_rewrite!)
SSLOptions +StrictRequire forces forbidden access (403) when SSLRequireSSL or SSLRequire decide access should be forbidden. Usually where a [WWW] Satisfy Any directive is used, this denial of access is overridden. For strict access restriction you can use SSLRequireSSL and/or SSLRequire in combination with an SSLOptions +StrictRequire Then an additional Satisfy Any has no chance once [WWW] mod_ssl has decided to deny access.

SSLRequireSSL forbids access unless HTTP over SSL (i.e. HTTPS) is enabled for the current connection.
SSLRequire forbids access unless HTTP_HOST matches your SSL certificate (in this case, the certificate is for askapache.com not www.askapache.com) (http://www.askapache.com%29).

If either of those 2 checks fail (403), then the [WWW] ErrorDocument directive uses a 302 to redirect the browser to https://askapache.com.

SSLOptions +StrictRequire
SSLRequireSSL
SSLRequire %{HTTP_HOST} eq "askapache.com"
ErrorDocument 403 https://askapache.comNote: Checking for the correct HTTP_HOST fixes the problem with Basic Authentication asking for the username/password twice, and also fixes security errors about your SSL certificate.

Alternative to above method (doesn't require mod_ssl!)

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* - [F]
ErrorDocument 403 https://askapache.comor

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .*$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,R=301,L]NOTE: The HTTPS variable is always present, even if mod_ssl isn’t loaded! This is useful if a non-SSL server is redirecting to a different SSL-enabled server.


Redirect everything served on port 80 to SSL

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,R=301,L]Redirecting to SSL or non-SSL using relative URIs

RewriteRule ^/(.*):SSL$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [QSA,R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*):NOSSL$ http://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [QSA,R=302,L]
