PHPBuilder.com: AJAX and PHP Part 1
PHPBuilder.com has posted part one of a new series looking at using AJAX functionality on your site (along with PHP_ to create a simple form handling script.
So you’re interested in AJAX? AJAX is a powerful addition to JavaScript for browser-to-server intercommunication. We will demonstrate a simple script that sends a GET or POST request to a form handling script on a server, then the server script will return a response to the browser XMLHttpRequest JavaScript object.
They start with a definition of what AJAX is and how it can be used before getting into the examples – the first of a simple text field in a form that sends the contents back to the server and the second to fetch dynamic image information from the server.
Dave Dash’s Blog: Installing a PHP that can do symfony+doctrine on Dreamhost
Dave Dash has posted guide to setting up a PHP installation that can work with both the Symfony framework and the doctrine functionality on a Dreamhost server.
Lately I’ve been experimenting with Doctrine on a few projects. It does have some requirements, including the PDO layer of PHP 5.2. Things didn’t work right off the bat on Dreamhost (which I still use for non-critical things), so I opted to build my own php.
The post is basically a cut and paste of a handy “install all” script you can customize to match your installation preferences.
