With your videos I've already started designing an elaborate site with php and mysql. I've never done any programming before, and I'm self-taught in html and css; nevertheless, I've been able to follow your instructions without any major problems. It takes several viewings to figure out exactly what is going on, and sometimes I get frustrated by my inability to comprehend exactly what happening with each statement in a loop. But I've been diligent, and after every few videos I delete all the code and write it from scratch, talking my way aloud through each little bit. "And I'm setting the query equal to a variable named 'subject_set' which is an array, and then I'm sorting through the array and setting each entry equal to a variable named 'subject'..." You just did some refactoring on the "Find Pages" video and I'm lost again, but I'm confident that I'll understand what you did soon enough. So thanks. Your videos are awesome. If they can teach me, a former English major with no prior training, how to create an entire CRUD, then they'll work for anyone. The books I was using had me baffled before I even installed Apache.

I tried as well..selected the position and visibility to show..and when i hit add subject..still doesn't break..anyway..i've built widget corp using XHTML and CSS from the start..i'm going to use strip_tags() to ensure that no one can insert html tags.

Take a look at the source for the page and you can probably think of how. For example, [cc lang="html"]<div></div>[/cc] might not break anything where [cc lang="html"]</div>[/cc] might. @Jaysone: Not all HTML would break it but I’m sure some would.

1
<div></div>

might not break anything where

1

My php journey wouldn't have taken off if i had not met someone who's so passionate in teaching as you. I'm in chapter 13, building the form to edit the subjects..i'm curious about something..i've been trying to break our application by inserting html markup like <b></b> in the field to insert menu_name in our add subject form and i cant break it..i don't remember us using any striptags() functions when we're building our form functions..how is this possible..

I just moved into a Vista OS reluctantly and lost my old WAMP installer file, the new WAMP is giving me hell!

You will need to either try it or check the WAMP support forums. I don't test out every release. As far as I know. You will need to either try it or check the WAMP support forums.

Up intil now I've been interested in PHP a little but after studying this title I'm really excited about what I can do with PHP and MySQL. Big thanks, and if you have any other similar titles coming up in the future I look forward to them. I’m about to start chapter 11 on Lynda.com.

I just created 6 lines of PHP code that inputs 10's, 100's or even 1000's of lines of HTML based on a single variable. Thanks again Kevin john Hi again

Have finished this title and can only say ‘why have I not used PHP MySQL solutions before’. I just created 6 lines of PHP code that inputs 10’s, 100’s or even 1000’s of lines of HTML based on a single variable.

Thanks again Kevin
