We just updated our shopping cart tutorial – check it out:
I just added 3 new screencasts to the KillerSites University under the PHP > PHP Shopping Cart course (about 45 minutes of content.)
These videos answer a common question: how to change the code created in the course to use a MySQL database rather than an XML file to store product information. For small stores, using an XML file makes sense, but if you intend to expand and there is the potential that you’ll have a large number of products to sell, editing an XML file every time may be a bit unwieldy.
These videos cover how to change existing code only. With a MySQL database in place, however, you could add on to the functionality by adding a password protected administrative section that allows you to add/edit/delete products from the database. These videos don’t cover that (yet, at least), but if you watch the series on PHP CRUD with MySQLi and the series I did on creating a basic user authentication system with PHP, that should help get you started.
Let me know if there are any other features you’d like to see added to the PHP Shopping Cart course, and I’ll see what I can do. Hope you find the videos useful. =)

In our continued aim to transform you web guys into full-fledged web programmers, we have yet another cool video tutorial series … this time on basic PHP and MySQL interaction, something the nerds refer to as CRUD.
Check out the second video from the screencast series:

We just released a new screencast on building a login system with PHP. Our official release notes:
This six part video series explains how to create a simple PHP login system using PHP, MySQLi, PHP sessions and a variation of the MVC pattern. This system allows authorized members to login, access a member’s only section, and log out, as well as showing how to create a form that adds new members to the database.
This video course, along with hundreds of other videos on PHP and web design, can be found in the Killersites University … our video tutorial subscription service.
I will be releasing free sample videos from this course very soon.
Sometimes I post questions that are put to me by people. This is a beginners question, so you experienced nerds will want to move on. Nonetheless, I am sure there are a few debutant PHP programmers who will find this useful.
The question:
So in a nutshell, what is the difference between PHP 5 and CRUD?
PHP5 is just a version of PHP. Whereas CRUD is short for a series of PHP+MySQL operations/interactions:
- Create
- Read
- Update
- Delete
…These are the core operations that can be preformed on a database. CRUD is so important in fact, that we just released a mini video series on PHP CRUD that can now be found in the Killersites University … our video tutorial subscription service.
In our continued efforts to make programming approachable (even for the non nerd,) I got my brother (Richard Mischook) to write a quick article/tutorial introducing iPhone and iPad development – he’s busy build an iPhone application as I write.
The goal of this article is to help you understand what you need to know and what tools you have available, when it comes to creating software/web apps for the iPhone and iPad.

Introduction
The introduction of the iPhone by Apple a few years back caused a lot of excitement among both consumers and developers. The iPhone was arguably the first mobile device that made both mobile computing and web surfing practical. The iPad (which runs on iPhone OS) has been met with skepticism in some quarters. But so far it appears to be selling well and attracting a lot of interest from content creators.
Apple originally intended that the main source of third-party applications for the iPhone would be web applications, and there are of course many of these. But something funny happened when Apple released the iPhone SDK and an App Store to go with it – people came. Developers developed and consumers consumed.
I just wanted to announce that we will be releasing a PHP log in system video tutorial within a few days.
Like all our videos, as you learn to build the project at hand, you will be secretly taught reusable PHP techniques and even some dreaded PHP nerd theory! Don’t worry though, the nerd theory will be woven into the videos, so you won’t even notice it seeping into your brain.
Many of the videos will be released on this blog for free, but the whole course (and source files) will only be available to Killersites University subscribers or as part of our upcoming complete web developer training package.
… Yes, a shameless plug but nerds need to eat too (and play video games) so we have so charge you guys a little sometimes!
These two videos show how to modify the view.php file we created earlier in Part 1 of the ‘CRUD Basics with MySQLi & PHP‘ series to add basic pagination. This functionality is often required for large data sets, providing a better user experience by splitting up a long list of records into multiple pages. These videos briefly introduce the MySQLi data_seek() function, used to pull specific records from the database.
In our ongoing effort to provide top quality screencasts authored by working web designers and web programmers (that means practical training) … we just released a new set of videos on PHP CRUD.
The official summary:
This is a six part series that covers how to create a basic application that creates, reads, updates and deletes records (often called CRUD) from a MySQL database using MySQLi. MySQLi helps prevent SQL injection, a common security issue. Understanding how to use a MySQL database and work with database records is an essential skill for beginning web developers.
We continue from where we left off in part 1 of our video on SQL joins. Still setting up things to do our SQL work, in this particular video, we continue to build our MySQL table.
The video:
There will be several other sample videos to come, but if you want them all NOW, (at the risk of being a shameless self promoter!) you can pick the entire 4hrs of the MySQL and SQL course in the killer video store.
