HTML is simply a markup language, which look like tags <in_brackets>. It's very easy to learn, and it goes perfectly with CSS. If you have an HTML Website, you should try to include CSS as much as possible so that it's easier to edit in the future.

You can Learn HTML very easily at W3Schools. All you need to edit HTML is notepad, and to view it you need a web browser (Which is the thing you are viewing this site in, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc).

With an HTML Website you can create links, information pages, add images, and hundreds of other things. But you can not make your HTML website save files automatically, and record information in a database unless you are using a server-side language, mentioned above. That is where things get very difficult, and it's best to start early.

If you practice HTML for 2 weeks, you will know it very well. Make sure to learn how to make your HTML Website the best it can be, you might enjoy it and you could possibly make a career in it.

 
$fruit = "apple";
$myItem = &$fruit;
 
echo $myItem;
 

If you look at the above example, let's break it down:
1. $fruit is set to apple,
2. and $myItem references the value of $fruit.
3. So if you echo $myItem, it will return the value of whatever $fruit is.
Does that make sense?

Let's make it a tiny bit more complex to give you a better idea. Again, in PHP the & before a variable is a reference, meaning it will change if $fruit changes. If you were to do the following:

$fruit = "apple";
$myItem = &$fruit;
 
echo $myItem;
 
// Now we are changing the fruit value
$fruit = "banana";
 
// And again we are referencing from myItem
echo $myItem;
 

The output will be "applebanana", because we have changed the value of $fruit again, and $myItem will reference it's current state.

I honestly rarely ever use reference variables, perhaps it's a lack of skill or technique but I don't find much use for it in day to day programming. They are useful in things like a PHP OOP Registry Class, but I don't find a huge use for & references variables while doing day to day tasks.

Google Chrome is the web browser introduced by Google. Firefox is steadily dominating near 50% of the web browsers for over a year, and Internet Explorer (versions 6, 7 and 8) all fall a bit behind FireFox.

The Chrome Browser is picking up at about 10% of all web users -- as it was at only 3% a year ago. The reason for such success, I believes, is due to the simplicity and light browsing.

If you use FireFox for web development, I suggest you stay with it. There aren't good enough replacement for plugins such as FireBug, Web Developer ToolBar, and the Ad Blocking.  However some of Google Chromes built in tools are decent, you can see them by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+I on a PC, or simply go to the "Page" icon on the right > Developer > Developer Tools.

The best reason to switch to Chrome, in my opinion, is speed. Although Firefox is a fantastic browser, the load-up and page load times pale in comparison to Google Chrome. Chrome is extremely light-weight, and has a very pretty GUI.

I've been using Chrome lately for Facebook, Checking email, and researching sites. For web development I stick to FireFox. I believe in the next year we will see Chrome have all the plugins which make FireFox so great yet with a faster, more crash-resistant browser.

It takes a little while to get used to switching browers, or forming the habit of using two different ones. But I highly suggest you try out Chrome for a few weeks and see what you think!

JQuery Checkbox Plugin
This JQuery plugin is pretty cool, it allows a Light-Switch type of button to toggle buttons.

JQuery Fancy Form
This form effect gives checkboxes different styles, it also formats Radio buttons.

First, you must obviously include JQuery lib.

Then, using Jquery set an AJAX load in your View or Template:

<script type="text/javascript">
<span>(document).ready(function(</span>) {
<span>
     $("#element").load("stuff.</span>php?idea");
 
});
</script>
 
<div id="element"></div>

Then get the php file you are loading, in this case its stuff.php, and create a get request for the value passed in the URL, which is 'idea'.

if (isset($_GET['idea']))
{
  echo 'Ajax is working';
  //
  // All your functions in here
  //
  exit; // Make sure to exit so nothing else processes.
}

Alternatively, there are design patterns that give you a nice clue how to handle this, but that's a little more advanced for someone less than 4 years in I think. There are also options of using application frameworks that will make this easier (like Symfony, CodeIgniter, and other MVC frameworks). At this juncture I prefer doing it by my own objects and functions rather than learning how a separate framework functions, though they are all fairly similar.

90% of Work in programming is validation in my opinion. It's easy to write procedural code, difficult to thoughtfully break it down into Object Oriented code, either way there must be validation. For example an unvalidated field that processes a query could be bad news if your MySQL strings don't escape correctly and someone intentionally or unintentionally breaks the database query and destroys a table, possibly the entire database. Safe queries wherever data is stored is one of the most important things, also checking for digits, regular expressions, and such are required in order to get an application run reliably and track issues fast. Even one field that processes a query incorrectly can disable an entire application, and running a complete system update is more work than having it taken care of in the first place.

I made a simple relational table to assign users to projects with an ID, project_id, and user_id.
Instead of breaking content into an array from one row like I previously had using an explode by ',', I went with new inserts per user/project assignment -- and must avoid duplicates since it's an insert.

Problems always arise with dirty strings, invalid strings, and duplicate content. I had to remove any potential to a duplicate so I figured these steps:

1. The creation only happens one time, so this can only apply to editing.

2. This will apply to the Edit section, so I have to pass a hidden variable to store the project ID, so I can chain it to this project ID. (Note: Not the same as project_id).

3. Since mysql_insert_id() would not work because this is an UPDATE not an INSERT I had to use the hidden variable I posted to find a relationship between the current project and the existing relational table. There is also no mysql_update_id() feature, which I wish there was!

// Process more users
if (isset($_POST['assign_users']))
{
	foreach ($_POST['assign_users'] as $add_user)
	{
	// First Check for Duplicate Assignments
	$check_duplicates = mysql_query("
		SELECT * FROM project_users
		WHERE `project_id`='$selectedProject'
		AND `user_id`='$add_user'");
 
	// Count Total Matches
	$count = mysql_num_rows($check_duplicates);
 
		// If No Duplicates, Proceed.
		if ($count == 0)
		{
 
			$add_user = clean($add_user);
 
			mysql_query("INSERT INTO project_users SET
				`project_id`='$selectedProject',
				`user_id`='$add_user'");
		}
	}
}

As you can see before the final query which loops (the one most tabbed over), a lot of validation goes into it. This is very minor considering the outside functions. It's easy to write a block of code, but if it's not protected correctly there is nothing good about it.
