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.

For the past few months (or more) I’ve been building something I’d like to call “an ideal homepage“. Very hard task to do, but I’m sure I will come close to the idea with the project, sooner or later…

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.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could see what data exactly do you submit with your HTML form with Post method? Well, you can and it’s easy with Paros Proxy tool !
As the name says, to simplify, this utility acts as your local web proxy. So, to set it up (after the installation) you configure your web browser’s proxy setting to something like http://localhost:xxxx (where “xxxx” is a Paros Proxy specific port). By doing that all traffic you make through your web browser goes through this utility. Read more >>
It’s really hard for me to read unformatted e-mails, and it’s getting annoying when I recieve some important information and loose my eyes on scanning bunch of text in search for text I need to read.
I was also one of those programmers who didn’t “found time” to format those notification e-mails sent to webshop customers, but after some time I realized what I was missing:
Recently I needed to create a small command line app which processes .TXT files with some minor text editing.
So, as I’m a big fan of PHP I took a quick Google search on running .PHP scripts without installing PHP itself.
But, I’ve found something even more interesting – an application that actually converts, compiles, .PHP scripts into a standalone command line EXE application ! Read more >>
