XML is very nice format for storing and especially transferring data between applications. Instead of old plain TXT files which you must parse from a strictly defined format, XML files gives your data 2nd dimension – a structure, so you basically “know” what data represents without need for parsing and cleaning it from rubbish.
Everybody is using it, so why shouldn’t you? :)

Not so long time ago, I wrote about handling friendly URLs for your own site using Apache (it’s URL rewrite engine, and .htaccess file) and PHP – “Friendly URL, the easy way”.
In the meantime I was doing some changes to .htaccess file for one of my Wordpress installations, and what made me thinking was how does the Wordpress handle URLs.
In one of my previous posts – Simple AJAX example, I explained a few steps that will help you enter the web 2.0 development world using famous AJAX method.
In that example we were submiting a HTML form with POST method using XmlHttpRequest and then processing the request server-side using PHP and getting some results back to JavaScript, to the client machine without refreshing the whole page. Very cool :)

If you’re working on a Flash game in which you are saving player score in a database, you might wanna consider applying some security to it :)
As I know, you cannot access MySQL database directly from Flash, so you’ll need to do some ActionScripting and call an external script to do it for you. For this example, we’ll be using PHP as a server-side script that will be doing MySQL communication.

Moving a project from one domain to another is something you should avoid. Unless it is really necessary – just don’t do it :)
But, maybe you sold a domain and want to transfer a project to another domain name. Then you have a lot of things to do.

Once I created my first AJAX “application” (also based on some simple tutorial) I just can’t stop thinking of AJAX methodology and it’s usage all over the projects.
What is AJAX actually? By definition – Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, a technique used in web application development.
In general it is a combination of XHTML and JavaScript.
I was building an OCR driven application, implementation of EMC2 Captiva InputAccel as input management system for enterprises. We had a server dedicated just for OCR mechanism as we were having a higher volume of scanning/documents to OCR on a daily basis.
OCR mechanism was an “old” application – an Abbyy FineReader OCR module for InputAccel, written obviously before multi-core CPUs etc, but it was good enough to do the job.
This app is capable of running in a multiple instances as in that way it could complete it’s processing faster. But, there was a problem. Read more >>
