PHPug - PHP Phundementals

PHP is a rapidly expanding language and as such newcomers and experienced developers alike can benefit from revisiting core basics of PHP. This series looks to address some common questions and concerns for developing PHP sites and to share experiences, best practices and ideas. We will try to post Topics regularly on the forum for open comment before the group meetings to gather questions, insight and feedback from the larger group. All the great information gathered online can then be presented in a short discussion format at each meeting. All group members are invited and encouraged to contribute, comment and present.

This sessions topics are :

Variable Evaluation in PHP:
Evaluating a variable, whether it is generated by a script or input by a user, turns out to be somewhat more complicated than one might suspect. The focus here will be on determining whether the variable contains something; if it does, then additional tests will normally be necessary to determine whether it contains something meaningful.

Storing and Displaying Data from A Database:
Getting data into a data storage medium and out again in a safe and effective manner can be challenging, we will examine some best practices for moving data around.

And possibly: PHP MAIL
