Example: 100% 90% 0% (u can make hair doing...

For many PHP programmers, object-oriented programming is a frightening concept, full of complicated syntax and other roadblocks. As detailed in my book, Pro PHP and jQuery, you’ll learn the concepts behind object-oriented programming (OOP), a style of coding in which related actions are grouped into classes to aid in creating more-compact, effective code. Understanding Object-Oriented Programming Object-oriented programming is a style of coding that allows developers to group similar tasks into classes. This helps keep code following the tenet “don’t repeat yourself” (DRY) and easy-to-maintain. “Object-oriented programming is a style of coding that allows developers to group similar tasks into classes.” One of the...

Most modern web applications today interact with databases, usually with a language called SQL. Lucky for us, this language is quite easy to learn. In this article, we are going to start with some basic SQL queries and use them to interact with a MySQL database. What You Need SQL (Structured Query Language) is a language designed for interacting with relational database management systems (RDBMS), like MySQL, Oracle, Sqlite etc… To perform the SQL queries in this article, I suggest that you have MySQL installed. I also recommend phpMyAdmin as a visual interface to MySQL. The following applications make it very easy to...

It is important for every web developer to be familiar with database interactions. In part two of the series, we will continue exploring the SQL language and apply what we’ve learned on a MySQL database. We will learn about Indexes, Data Types and more complex query structures. What You Need Please refer to the “What You Need” section in the first article here: SQL For Beginners (part 1). If you would like to follow the examples in this article on your own development server, do the following: Open MySQL Console and login. If you haven’t already, create a database named “my_first_db” with a CREATE query. Switch...

Today, we continue our journey into the world of SQL and relational database systems. In this part three of the series, we’ll learn how to work with multiple tables that have relationships with each other. First, we will go over some core concepts, and then will begin working with JOIN queries in SQL. Catch Up SQL for Beginners: Part 1 SQL for Beginners: Part 2 Introduction When creating a database, common sense dictates that we use separate tables for different types of entities. Some examples are: customers, orders, items, messages etc… But we also need to have relationships between these tables. For instance, customers...
