Tech Info - PHP

This is a section on PHP with very little at this time just some getting you started stuff and includes the first version of our PHP web based tool-kit.

There is a mass of info out there for PHP as befits an extremely popular and powerful scripting language. Hope our modest contribution may be of some use to you and save you some time (check our links pages for all the primary references).

PHP Tool Kit	PHP is very good at manipulating files as befits a very powerful scripting language. This web kit currently includes global string replacement, global line insertion and deletion, find all files containing, update or synchronise webs or directories (a poor man's 'publish'). We use it regularly when we screw things up..which is often.
PHP Mail	A PHP script to mail this page (the one we use when you click the 'mail this page' in the page header). Currently simple text reference but we're working on an embedded HTML version (not so simple when you have SSIs). The same page also is used for feedback and bug report mailing with the addition of a simple hidden field. After a mail injection attack last year it now includes a lot of checks to avoid abuse.
PHP and SQL	We needed a quick way to look at a MySQL database via the web. We could not find a simple database web viewer so we put this together in a few minutes - the code reflects it! It optionally lists all the tables in a database, or all the data in a specified table or the structure of a specified table. Later versions will let us repair and fix the data.
PHP and SSI	We use SSI a lot and need to mix the two technologies regularly, besides SSI is just a lot better, and a lot safer, at doing the simple things IOHO.

Problems, comments, suggestions, corrections (including broken links) or something to add? Please take the time from a busy life to 'mail us' (at top of screen), the webmaster (below) or info-support at zytrax. You will have a warm inner glow for the rest of the day.
