Wrapping up the PHP talk
It's taken exactly two weeks to write my introduction to PHP for Domino Developers. Today I published the final installment. I really hope you guys appreciate how much work's gone in to this. If you print them all out you'll end up with 44 pages of A4.
The last part wraps it all up by talking about how to make the design of your pages modular. At the end of it you can download all the files required to get yourself a copy of the PHP Journal site we've been working toward.
There won't be any advanced article for a few weeks yet as I think I've written more than enough for the time being. However, if you want to ask me, or others, any questions at all about any part of the LAMP platform, I have set up a bulletin board for you to use.
You probably recognise the design of the board. It's based on phpBB - an open-source PHP application - which is free to download. This in itself is a great example of what you can do with PHP. The brave among you might want to download a copy and go digging round under the hood to see how it's glued together.

Hi Jake.
Thanks for your great series os articles. I will save it and use it a lot. I'm getting my firsts steps outside Notes programmin.
Any way, can I translate thoses PHP articles to the Portugu■se? It will help the Brazilian guys down here.
Bye
Valdecir
Valdecir, feel free to translate them if you want to.
What I might do as well is combine all the articles in to one PDF BlueBook™
Just to say a big Thank you !! I just started a new contract where I need to develop in php, your timing is PERFECT !
Gaston
Glad I could help Gaston. If you have any questions or learn anything juicy, make sure you pass it on to us all in the Bulletin Board!
Another thank you for the articles. I have been following them with a lot of interest.
I have been curious about the LAMP platform for a while, but haven't really had the time/resources to put it to work, but with your articles I felt supported and I started doing my first php apps for testing. I have been using some PHP resources related to Yahoo hosting (phpAdmin, and a web shared calendar), and there I have been doing my first simple apps.
Thanks!
Hi Jake,
Thanks for great articles. As said earlier ■ keep up the good work, that we all appreciate so much.
What■s next.. ? ;o)
Great work Jake,
I was waiting for each instalment with much anticipation! Also a great blog template. (hoping i'll use it soon on my own site..)
I visit your site frequently and have never really taken the time to thank you for the wonderful passing on of knowledge and entertainment.
Enjoy the wishlist gifts..
Good to see you got the download working on codestore.dk Peter. Proof of the pudding ;o)
What's next? Hmmm, don't know exactly yet but there's definitely something. Lots of stuff in fact. Searching. Authentication. File Upload. The list is endless. And that's just the bits needed to create a "simple" site. After covering the basics we can start getting clever....
Thanks Brett. There's plenty more where that came from ;o)
I've also created a PDF BlueBook (like IBM's RedBook but in CodeStore Blue) that contains the whole series. I will link to the download today...
Jake,
personally I would have called it CyanBook
;o)
Jake, when you started the PHP project did you install the PHP, MySQL packages from the Redhat distribution disks or did you do a minimal install and download/install the packages separately?
-Lance
Lance,
Unless you feel brave, I would avoid trying to download and install packages after the main install of Red Hat.
So, yes, I installed everything I wanted as part of the red hat 3 disc ISO download.
If you have more questions then there's a LAMP section at the new forum I setup: {Link}
Jake
Jake, almost a year since you wrapped all this up. I have to say that I've failed to capitalise on the articles. But I've just re-read-em and I have new resolve.
Are you still dabbling in this area?
