Transit - CSS transitions and transformations for jQuery
What about older browsers? Transit degrades older browsers by simply not doing the transformations (rotate, scale, etc) while still doing standard CSS (opacity, marginLeft, etc) without any animation. Delays and durations will be ignored.
Backup Your MySQL Database Using PHP
One of the most important tasks any developer needs to do often is back up their MySQL database. In many cases, the database is what drives most of the site. While most web hosts do a daily backup of a customer's database, relying on them to make backups and provide them at no cost is risky to say the least. That's why I've created a database backup function that I can call whenever I want -- including nightly CRONs. The PHP & MySQL Code Of course, you'll need to provide database credentials to the function, as well as an array of tables you'd like to backup.
Manage Your Content With PHP
In this article, we’ll build a simple, template-driven site that separates style, content, and structure in your website.

CSS Lightbox Made Practical With PHP
In my recent book on advanced CSS3 (may as well get the inevitable plug out the way early), I described how we can use CSS3 to develop a genuine lightbox solution, without the help of any JavaScript. I also mentioned the pitfalls of this technique, which unfortunately outweigh the benefits and therefore make it an unrealistic option in the real world. Until now. The major flaw was the amount of repetitive HTML required and the fact that it would be ridiculously difficult to maintain if you had to make any changes.
Box · Intro to CSS 3D transforms
Cube objects are easy enough to generate as we only have to worry about one measurement. But how would we handle a non-regular rectangular prism? Or, as the kids say, a box. Let’s try to make one 300px wide, 200px high, and 100px deep.
How to Connect to a Database with PDO
We've covered PHP's PDO API a couple of times here on Nettuts+, but, generally, those articles focused more on the theory, and less on the application. This article will fix that! To put it plainly, if you're still using PHP's old mysql API to connect to your databases, read on!
10 Simple and Light Weight CMS Solutions

A Beginner's Guide to PHP Programing
PHP is a server side scripting language used on the Internet to create dynamic web pages. It is often coupled with MySQL, a relational database server that can store the information and variables the PHP files may use. Together they can create everything from the simplest web site to a full blown business web site, an interactive web forum, or even an online role playing game. Learn more about PHP.
The Shapes of CSS
CSS is capable of making all sorts of shapes. Squares and rectangles are easy, as they are the natural shapes of the web. Add a width and height and you have the exact size rectangle you need. Add border-radius and you can round that shape, and enough of it you can turn those rectangles into circles and ovals.
Creating a Flat-File Blog Engine Using Slim
In this article, we will learn how to create a flat file blog engine in PHP using the Slim framework. If you don't understand the jargon, don't worry. We're simply going to create a spartan blogging application, which utilizes text files instead of a database to store data. If you're a beginner, fret not! We will start with the basics of using Slim. Let's get started after the jump!
