Name: Sithembiso KhumaloToday we are going to learn how to create a simple Whatsapp-like chat system using PHP, jQuery and XML.
The reason I decided to use XML is because there are already a lot of tutorials on the internet that use databases to store chat messages. While using a database for this is still a good idea, this is another approach you can implement to relieve your database a bit. XML is light and easily extensible. It is the right technology to use for this purpose. Let's get started shall we?
Hi!
Welcome to Stheweb. Today I would like to discuss three PHP super-global arrays $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST and the security concerns around using the latter. You can use all these to catch data sent by the client machine to the server using PHP, but they actually serve (or supposed to serve) different purposes.

FormEngine can be used to generate HTML forms for web applications. FormEngine forms come with their own PHP validation package accompanied by Javascript code generated automatically and integrated into the form itself. This eliminates the tedious routine of writing validation scripts for every form you write. Apart from doing its job well, FormEngine is presented in a simple and user-friendly interface that allows you to design your own forms.
FormEngine is released under the GNU GPL license and is distributed for free.
I see web development as an opportunity to revolutionise the world we live in. I have been offering to build websites for non-profit organizations free of charge just to give them global exposure. While this is a good thing, I get extremely disapointed to see those websites getting suspended or shutting down after a year or two simply because the owners cannot afford paying the hosting fees.
Anyway, these are a few websites that I have developed myself. Click read more:
