PHP Complete Beginner's Tutorials – 27 Video Tutorials

asp.net videos — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 02:10:20 +0000

Here is a collection of 27 free video tutorials on PHP for developers.

PHP is a general-purpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. PHP was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995, and is now maintained by the PHP Group. It is totally free for anyone to use.

Where Did PHP Get Its Name?

PHP stands for Personal Home Page. Rasmus Lerdorf originally wrote the scripts for PHP in Perl and then later rewrote them using CGI binaries to allow web forms to connect to databases. Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans, two Israeli developers at the Technion IIT, rewrote the parser in 1997 and formed the base of PHP 3.

How to make your own cms

Saurabh — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 12:29:28 +0000

Do you want to create your own content management system like joomla , wordpress or drupal .

Well here is a series of tutorials by Peter Zeidman

Part 1 of the series begins with a look at the overall plan for the CMS, and a look at PHP and the concept of object-oriented programming.
Part 2 takes a look at the basic PHP code that will power the CMS.
Part 3 examines the creation of the database and the database connector.
Part 4 explores validation, and the creation of a validator class and the creation of sections for the content that needs to be managed.
Part 5 introduces security to the content management system, and shows how to create a system that is accessible only to those with authorization to access it. It also takes a look at creating a log-in for users.
Part 6 discusses layouts for the content, templating systems, and talks about possible add-ons and features that can enhance your PHP-based content management system.

You can also have a look at this great css-tricks article which tells us how to make a cms

http://css-tricks.com/php-for-beginners-building-your-first-simple-cms/

It is a good idea to see how a content management system (cms) works .

But it might not be a good idea to create your own content management system just for the purpose of creating your own website because there are already high quality cms like joomla and wordpress which provide us with various tools for making rich and professional websites and if you think of creating your own cms just for this purpose you are actually wasting your time because you are doing which already has been done .

Once you have learned about the working of content management sytem you can do stuff like

Creating your own plugins for a cms like joomla or wordpress
Creating your own template for a cms
Creating components that integrate cms with other services like facebook etc.

This programming video tutorial series will show you how to use PHP.

PHP has evolved from the "Personal Home Page" that was created in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf to track users accessing his website.

In this first video, we will look at how to install Apache and MySQL by using Xampp. We will also install Notepad2 because it color codes the syntax of the PHP language. The last thing we will do is write a small "Hello World" application.

Here is the link for downloading XAMPP and here is the one for downloading notepad2.
