Today I found a great PHP tutorial series called “Diving into PHP”. It is made by Jeffrey Way from nettuts and it has 15 episodes till now. It starts from scrach and slowly builds up to advanced topics that is why it is great for PHP beginers and for advanced users.

Drupal is not like the average open source CMS software. It is powered by its’ lightweight core, the simplicity of use, the thousand of contributors that are constantly updating and upgrading it and the thousand of customised free plugins that you can use to achieve your on-line purpose. Drupal is not only a CMS (content management system) but a content management framework too. Why is it a framework too? Well tha’s symple, just because it is geared more towards configurability and customisation.

As I allready told you in the previous post I will start adding a new poll each month. So, for this month I was thinking of giving you the oportunity to select and comment the CMS of your choice. I took this decision in regarding with “2008 Open Source CMS Award” given by Packt Publishing in August, 2008. Please vote for it and afterword please leave a comment and explain your choice.

I have decided to add a new pool every month that will help us in better deciding various actions that we’ll have to take regarding php developing. We have inserted in the past some pools too but they weren’t opened on a strict time bases. So, please vote for this month’s poll in the right side of the home page.

We all use the IF…ELSE statements and we all get sometimes into veeery big codes where you don’t understand a thing. In this tutorial you will learn about the SWICH statement and the TERNARY operator witch are very helpful in this cases.
