Unlike scalar variables, which assign only a single value to a variable, an array variable can hold multiple values. Arrays are useful for holding values from database queries or web form entries, where each field (also called a “key”) holds a specific value. Let's take a look at how we define some of the arrays we use in PHP.Numbered Arrays. If the programmer does not specify a key for each value in the array, PHP automatically numbers the keys, starting from zero. This code defines an array $arrMonths[],...
This is our third installment of how to design a clean a minimalist website. First we looked at navigation and how to make an accordion style drop-down menu with pure CSS3. Then we moved on to laying the site out and went over rounding corners and applying drop shadows with CSS3. Now we’re going to look at how to create a gradient with CSS3 and apply that to a few of the elements in our homepage. We left off in part two after we pulled our header, navigation and main image in to our layout. Now that we have...

Event handling has been a core part of jQuery for a long time, but over the years the jQuery event landscape has flourished and grown, with successive releases increasing the number of methods for handling events. The new event methods on() and off() condense these different methods...

Responsive web design is widely thought of as a design trend, but it’s much more than that.

The XREF, or cross reference table, is a database table that links records together. These tables are very good for normalization in your database. I almost always use an xref when I need an many to many relationship. Usually XREF tables have only two columns with no Primary Key. That's right, the two columns together make them unique. They are both Foreign Keys to other tables. A real life example of this would be in any standard CRM. Let's go over this example right now. Many CRM's could have a table to store...
The new HTML5 Markup Language has introduced several new element features not available in HTML4, for example elements like header, section, nav, footer, aside, and article. Where these new tags will work in Opera, Safari, Chrome or Firefox they will not function in Internet Explorer (version 8 and earlier).

It is possible...
