  1. HedgeClipper [part 2]!

    Hey guys, I hope everyone has had a great start to the new year.

    If you're just joining us, we're making hedgeclipper: a user log-in system. Last time, we outlined the basics of how hedgeclipper will work, and wrote a controller function for the whole thing. This time, we're going to focus on checking if the user is logged in or not. Before we start demanding a username and password, we're going to check if our user already logged in on a previous page visit. Have a look:

  2. A Really Big PHP Tutorial [...part 1]

    .
    Who Is This For?

  4. Every PHP Tutorial Is Wrong

    Many PHP tutorials begin with an introduction to the "basics" of the language: the <?php ?> tags, and usually the echo construct. For example, something like this:

    PHP Code:
    <html>
    <head>
        <title>My First PHP Page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <?php
            
    echo "Hello World!";
        
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>
