Scripts

Configuring PHP is easy. You can change almost any aspect of the interpreter within the php.ini configuration file, e.g. modify error handling, increase memory usage, etc.

Setting the Scene
Last year we took on an elderly, undocumented Access 97 database linked to a MySQL back-end. The task was to fix existing problems, upgrade to Access 2007 and Vista, and bring the functionality in line with current business practices. It would involve an independent re-build (mainly off site) so that existing operations could continue unhindered.

Concurrent upgrading changes weren’t ideal: when a problem arose, we had to work out whether it was due to a flaw in the original database, or 97 to 2007 differences, or some aspect of the Access to ODBC driver to MySQL linkage. But we had no choice and with Allen Browne’s comprehensive list of Access 2007 issues, we marched on.

The basic 301 redirect works very well in a htaccess 301 redirect scenario, but what if you are changing your domain name? Writing out dozens, hundreds or perhaps even thousands of basic 301 redirects would be very time consuming and the potential for errors is huge.

If you've been using your current domain name for several years, you have probably built up a great deal of brand awareness amongst your visitors, some solid search engine rankings and other links pointing to your site. It would be a shame to lose all that hard work after you change your domain name - but there is a fairly simple way and relatively safe option for a smooth and seamless transition through the use of mod_rewrite and a .htaccess file.

One of the biggest obstacles to tackle in web site and web application design is the initial response time of the product. There is a common feeling among web users that things just don’t happen fast enough.

Why is this such an issue? Perhaps people who’ve been using the web for years remember the times when we had to pay by the minute (in the way that hotel or airport users do even now), or there could be just a general feeling of being let down by the promised information superhighway. I think in part it’s Hollywood’s fault: in every action flick there are high-resolution, data dense animated web interfaces that show up at the touch of a button, and encyclopaedic data gets loaded and displayed in a matter of milliseconds.

This is a useful file that keeps search engines from indexing pages you do not want spidered. Why would you not want a page indexed by a search engine? Perhaps you want to display a page that shows an example of spamming the search engines. This type of page might include an example of repeated keywords, hidden tags with keywords, and other things that could get a page or an entire site banned from a search engine.

Many interactive websites nowadays require a user to log in into the website's system to provide a customized experience for the user. Once the user has logged in, the website will be able to provide a presentation that is personalized to the user's preferences.

It never fails to annoy me when I'm searching for, say tech news, click on the link, and up comes a full flash page complete with movies, animations here and there, and background music. I want information, nothing more, and as fast as possible. In this case, HTML wins.

Many Web pages today are poorly written. Syntactically incorrect HTML code may work in most browsers even if it does not follow HTML rules. Browsers employ heuristics to deal with these flawed Web pages however, Web-enabled wireless devices (such as PDAs) cannot accommodate these hefty Web browsers.

A frequently asked question on the popular css-discuss.org mailing list and archive is, "How do I store and reuse values in my style sheets?"

I can certainly relate to this as a programmer—it was one of the first things I thought of when I started using CSS. Because I prefer to separate my work into discrete modules, I immediately recognized the power behind the concept. I was already using PHP, Perl and other tools to generate HTML dynamically, so CSS didn’t seem quite powerful enough. However, it didn’t take me long to learn how to approach style sheets in a similar way.
