Why PHP - not JSP? Python Coulda Been PHP, .Net to PHP...

Why PHP and not JSP?

An associate of mine recently asked for some metrics to help him back up their decision to move away from JSP and toward PHP. In a recent post, I looked at the fact that many major corporations are using PHP, yet we rarely hear about it. To help address some of the concerns about deploying PHP in the enterprise, this month's article in International PHP Magazine will focus on, "Enterprise PHP Coding Standards" you can enforce in your organization to ensure high-quality code.

Python could have been PHP

...Python could have been PHP. We could have seen that kind of growth. But we didn't, because there has been and continues to be a bunch of little things that make Python annoying to use and get started with for web programming. But it's not all over -- PHP 5 is barely catching up to Python's features from 10 years ago. There's a lot of room for a better language to take it's place...

Why the Switch from .NET to PHP?

Terry Storch and Brian Bailey have operated FellowshipChurch.com, a full-fledged church management portal site, since 2001. In 2002, the site was overhauled using Microsoft's snazzy, new .NET tools: IIS, C#, ASP.NET and, of course, MS SQL Server... As the sites scaled, it became clear to the development team that continuing down the .NET path was probably not wise...

Profits and PHP

All the PHP haters are going to have to eat their opinions when people realize that you can program PHP and make money doing it for the following reasons: * PHP has a low barrier to entry * PHP costs nothing to deploy commercially * PHP has all of the documentation needed to learn it * PHP has a universally recognized certification for professionals * PHP has a track record of success in all scales of successful enterprises (even if those enterprises don't like to admit it).

Send Email from your PHP App

Communicating with website users via email is crucial to the success of any online service. The ability to deliver registration confirmations and newsletters, provide a convenient and relatively secure password recovery tool, and keep clients updated with shipping status reports are just a few of the reasons for incorporating email-based features into your website infrastructure. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to incorporate email delivery capabilities into your PHP applications via both its native mail command and a great third-party extension called HTML Mime Mail...

Will AJAX catch on?

Adaptive Path have coined a new catchy name for Rich DHTML applications, AJAX, which stands for Asynchronous JavaScript + XML. The current web model of synchronous page requests and responses is a very simple and easy to implement. I wouldn't want to give it up completely for something like AJAX. Furthermore, AJAX is something for hard-core programmers, not web designers with programming skills. But for selected screens where high levels of interactivity are important, AJAX or Flash do make sense. Flickr is a good example of this mix of models...

Banner Management With phpAdsNew, Part 2

In this second part of a three-part tutorial covering phpAdsNew, you will learn more about the features of the "Publishers" and "Advertisers" module, as well as a convenient way to integrate phpAdsNew with multiple websites, and more. A few weeks ago, in the first part of this three-part tutorial, I outlined a quick-start guide on how to integrate phpAdsNew with your website. Three parts? Yes, that's correct. What started as a two-part article had to be extended to three parts in order to do justice to this versatile tool!

Simple AJAX - SAJAX

If you're wondering how Google pulled off their impressive Gmail user- interface, or why their mapping site is so freaking cool, then look no further than "AJAX". AJAX stands for "Asynchronous JAvascript + XML", the latter of which is used to transport messages between client and server without having to refresh the entire web page...
