PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a widely used, general-purpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages.  As a general-purpose programming language, PHP code is processed by an interpreter application in command-line  mode performing desired operating system operations and producing program output on its standard output channel.

In this article, we have listed some of the very important and indispensible tools and resources for PHP developers

CSS is no doubt up there with the most important web languages that we use. While html provides the structure it can be inconsistent and unpredictable across different new and old browsers. Css is where the html is styled though, and where we get creative as well as addressing those inconsistencies. Below is a fantastic list of 25 Css snippets that I am sure you will find extremely useful. Whether you are a veteran web developer, or are just getting your foot in the door of css, they are all well worth checking out.

A single image helps us to understand the concept better than a description of 1000 words. In a similar manner reading a code of thousand lines wont make us learn a software than a single video demonstration. There comes the purpose of Screen shots which helps us in the form of screen casts to learn our task in a quick and  relaxed manner. So sit back and do your task in an effective manner.Updating the information on the site or developing the site as a whole is Web Development. Targeting the specific users , a website is developed by planning, analyzing, designing and implementing the same. Then comes the promotion of the site which plays a major role and after promoting, thinking of novel ways to sustain in the industry.

Even after using PHP for years, we stumble upon functions and features that we did not know about. Some of these can be very useful, yet underused.

Not all of us have read the manual and the function reference from cover to cover!

Otherwise known as “resolution dependent layouts”. Single website, different CSS files for rearranging a website to take advantage of the size available.

The above code will apply the 800.css styling to the document only if the device viewing it has a width of 800px or wider. And… supports “media queries” in this way.

Keep in mind this is the device width, not the current width of the browser window. On the iPhone (3G(s)), that means 480px. My fancy new MacBook Pro is going to return 1920px for the device width. But my actual browser window is only half of that at this exact moment. The device width is quite useful when dealing with mobile devices where the browser is probably 100% of the screen whenever in use, but less useful in laptop/desktop browsers.

One of the most hardest jobs in web development processes definitely is form creation. Coding behind these forms are painless enough, but then you need to think also about Spam filters, usability, interface and functions should work in all cases …

Last time I taught you, how to create your own homepage in HTML. Today I’ll teach you how to create more dynamic home page using Personal Home Page (PHP) scripting.

Please refer to my previous article about creating your own homepage in HTML to get more clearer to web programming, you’ll be needing HTML even though you program it in PHP.

The most used and well documented programming language for web development is PHP, but it has some problems as a language (every language does). The most important problem is it’s too much permissive, and we can make some common mistakes that can hide our program’s behaviour beyond the limit, instead of writing a clean and easy readable code.

The “limit” is something abstract and we can’t draw the line. But there are many other things and habits we can do and get into of right now to be better developers, 20 of those things are right here.

It’s been said that the key to a civilization’s success is mastery of the food system. Unless a group of people can effectively control the basic needs for survival, they will never achieve greatness. Likewise, before CSS skills can be expanded to an advanced level, the basics must become instinct to any CSS coder. Develop these habits and you lay a solid foundation to apply advanced CSS techniques.

PHP has evolved into the language of choice for developers looking to create interactive web applications with dynamic functions. This powerful language allows you to create, develop, and grow your apps with added improvements such as validation for forms and auto-complete for text fields.

But that’s just the beginning, you can do much more with PHP, this is why we’ve put together a several PHP development techniques that are sure to rock the socks off your clients.

Today we are making a carbon fiber – style form, build using progressive enhancement. This means that we first ensure that the form works well without JavaScript and fancy CSS support (think of IE6 here) and later move on by layering over cool styling, AJAX and jQuery magic.

The form features its own custom tooltip validation, and is even perfectly usable with JavaScript disabled.
