PHP tuts

[awligon]

I was thinking that since there are NO php tuts on kirupa.com that I would go ahead and write a few since the same questions come up over and over again dealing w/ PHP, MySql and flash or any of the above interacting with eachother.

Any suggestions or requests? I was thinking of doing maybe a member registration and login or some sort of shoutbox thing... Or maybe Kirupa wants no php in his //edit// FLASH kingdom???

He's fine with PHP in his kirupa kingdom ;)

hmmm.... I was thinking about writing a basic PHP tutorial with variables and control structures and stuff like that.

there are a few actually on php and mysql.. =)

Yeah, that's what I use, I was joking. Should have specified. Ban me.

go ahead, write all the tuts you want, and i'm sure Kman will make good use of them!

if you do plan on writing php tutorials let me know what you are planning on doing so we don't accidently write the same thing :)

Ditto. :)

list of tutorials that I have planned:

1) mySQL -> XML dump (for creating backups of your database contents) -- Not actually a tutorial more of an open source thing

2) using Include Files

3) a simple session tutorial

I was thinking about writing a basic tutorial(conditionals, operators, loops, etc)

Maybe an SQL tutorial also(not nessecarily just PHP, that should be useful to ASP and .NET programmers too)

[Jubba]

Oh yeah...

and a XML/PHP news/headline type thing :)

Yeah those are probably needed as well... I always point people to the manual when they ask a question about loops or something like that... :sigh:

Sounds good, I guess I'll just post to this thread as I start one if you guys want to do the same. I'm working on a big project now so it may be a while before I get motivated to do a tut but at the same time, I may do one as I work on a specific aspect of the site, seeing as it will include sessions, user login, a shopping cart, a database search feature, a bulk loading from xls->cvs script, and a ton of things that would make great tutorials.

Almost forgot, Jubba, if you need some help debugging or otherwise with your mySql --> xml backup project, don't hesitate to pm me or send the files. I would love to get my hands into that.
