Javascript Explode Implode

JavaScript equivalent of PHP explode function

In PHP we can easily break a long string into smaller parts by using the explode() function of PHP. In run rime, this function works like this:

$string="My Name Is Wahyu Pramusinto";
$string2=explode(" ", $string);


After the execution of the second command the variable $string2 is an array such that,

$string2[0]="My"
$string2[1]="Name"
$string2[2]="Is"
$string2[3]="Wahyu"
$string2[4]="Pramusinto"

and so on. So how do we do it in JavaScript. In JavaScript there is a split() function that achieves the same objective, although the syntax is a bit different.

var string="My Name Is Wahyu Pramusinto";
var string2=string.split(" ");

Now the variable string2 has all those words.

Getting Started with jQuery

This guide is an introduction to the jQuery library. Basic knowledge of JavaScript and the document object model (DOM) is required. It starts from ground up and tries to explain details where necessary. It covers a simple hello world example, selector and event basics, AJAX, FX and usage and authoring of plugins.

This guide contains no "click me" examples. The intention of providing only "copy me" code is to invite you to try it for yourself. Copy an example, see what it does, and modify it.

Setup

To start, we need a copy of the jQuery library, which we can get from the main download page. The jQuery Starterkit provides some markup and CSS to work with. After downloading and extracting its content we put jquery.js into the same directory and open starterkit.html and custom.js with our favorite editor and starterkit.html with a browser.

Now we have everything to start with the notorious "Hello world" example.

Hello jQuery

We start with an empty html page:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// we will add our javascript code here
</script>
</head>
<body>
<--- we will add our HTML content here -->
<body>
<html>

This page just loads the jquery.js library (make sure the URL points to where you stored your copy of jquery! This example assumes that you store it in the same directory as this example file). Two comments indicate where we will expand this template with code.

As almost everything we do when using jQuery reads or manipulates the document object model (DOM), we need to make sure that we start adding events etc. as soon as the DOM is ready.

To do this, we register a ready event for the document.

$(document).ready(function() {
// do stuff when DOM is ready
});

Putting an alert into that function does not make much sense, as an alert does not require the DOM to be loaded. So lets try something a little more sophisticated: Show an alert when clicking the link.

$(document).ready(function() {
$("a").click(function() {
alert("Hello world!");
});
});

This should show the alert as soon as you click on the link.

Lets have a look at what we are doing: $("a") is a jQuery selector, in this case, it selects all a elements. $ itself is an alias for the jQuery "class", therefore $() constructs a new jQuery object. The click() function we call next is a method of the jQuery object. It binds a click event to all selected elements (in this case, a single anchor element) and executes the provided function when the event occurs.

This is similar to the following code:

Link

The difference is quite obvious: We don't need to write an onclick for every single element. We have a clean separation of structure (HTML) and behavior (JS), just as we separate structure and presentation by using CSS.

With this in mind, we explore selectors and events a little further.

Using ADOdb with PHP and Oracle: an advanced tutorial

1. Introduction

Oracle is the most popular commercial database used with PHP. There are many ways of accessing Oracle databases in PHP. These include:

* The oracle extension
* The oci8 extension
* PEAR DB library
* ADOdb library

The wide range of choices is confusing to someone just starting with Oracle and PHP. I will briefly summarize the differences, and show you the advantages of using ADOdb.

First we have the C extensions which provide low-level access to Oracle functionality. These C extensions are precompiled into PHP, or linked in dynamically when the web server starts up. Just in case you need it, here's a guide to installing Oracle and PHP on Linux.
Oracle extension Designed for Oracle 7 or earlier. This is obsolete.
Oci8 extension Despite it's name, which implies it is only for Oracle 8i, this is the standard method for accessing databases running Oracle 8i, 9i or 10g (and later).

Here is an example of using the oci8 extension to query the emp table of the scott schema with bind parameters:

$conn = OCILogon("scott","tiger", $tnsName);

$stmt = OCIParse($conn,"select * from emp where empno > :emp order by empno");
$emp = 7900;
OCIBindByName($stmt, ':emp', $emp);
$ok = OCIExecute($stmt);
while (OCIFetchInto($stmt,$arr)) {
print_r($arr);
echo "
";
}

This generates the following output:
Array ( [0] => 7902 [1] => FORD [2] => ANALYST [3] => 7566 [4] => 03/DEC/81 [5] => 3000 [7] => 20 ) Array ( [0] => 7934 [1] => MILLER [2] => CLERK [3] => 7782 [4] => 23/JAN/82 [5] => 1300 [7] => 10 )

We also have many higher level PHP libraries that allow you to simplify the above code. The most popular are PEAR DB and ADOdb. Here are some of the differences between these libraries:
Feature PEAR DB 1.6 ADOdb 4.52
General Style Simple, easy to use. Lacks Oracle specific functionality. Has multi-tier design. Simple high-level design for beginners, and also lower-level advanced Oracle functionality.
Support for Prepare Yes, but only on one statement, as the last prepare overwrites previous prepares. Yes (multiple simultaneous prepare's allowed)
Support for LOBs No Yes, using update semantics
Support for REF Cursors No Yes
Support for IN Parameters Yes Yes
Support for OUT Parameters No Yes
Schema creation using XML No Yes, including ability to define tablespaces and constraints
Provides database portability features No Yes, has some ability to abstract features that differ between databases such as dates, bind parameters, and data types.
Performance monitoring and tracing No Yes. SQL can be traced and linked to web page it was executed on. Explain plan support included.
Recordset caching for frequently used queries No Yes. Provides great speedups for SQL involving complex where, group-by and order-by clauses.
Popularity Yes, part of PEAR release Yes, many open source projects are using this software, including PostNuke, Xaraya, Mambo, Tiki Wiki.
Speed Medium speed. Very high speed. Fastest database abstraction library available for PHP. Benchmarks are available.
High Speed Extension available No Yes. You can install the optional ADOdb extension, which reimplements the most frequently used parts of ADOdb as fast C code. Note that the source code version of ADOdb runs just fine without this extension, and only makes use of the extension if detected.

PEAR DB is good enough for simple web apps. But if you need more power, you can see ADOdb offers more sophisticated functionality. The rest of this article will concentrate on using ADOdb with Oracle. You can find out more about connecting to Oracle later in this guide.
ADOdb Example

In ADOdb, the above oci8 example querying the emp table could be written as:

include "/path/to/adodb.inc.php";
$db = NewADOConnection("oci8");
$db->Connect($tnsName, "scott", "tiger");

$rs = $db->Execute("select * from emp where empno>:emp order by empno",
array('emp' => 7900));
while ($arr = $rs->FetchRow()) {
print_r($arr);
echo "
";
}

The Execute( ) function returns a recordset object, and you can retrieve the rows returned using $recordset->FetchRow( ).

If we ignore the initial connection preamble, we can see the ADOdb version is much easier and simpler:
Oci8 ADOdb

$stmt = OCIParse($conn,
"select * from emp where empno > :emp");
$emp = 7900;
OCIBindByName($stmt, ':emp', $emp);
$ok = OCIExecute($stmt);

while (OCIFetchInto($stmt,$arr)) {
print_r($arr);
echo "
";
}



$recordset = $db->Execute("select * from emp where empno>:emp",
array('emp' => 7900));

while ($arr = $recordset->FetchRow()) {
print_r($arr);
echo "
";
}


2. ADOdb Query Semantics

You can also query the database using the standard Microsoft ADO MoveNext( ) metaphor. The data array for the current row is stored in the fields property of the recordset object, $rs. MoveNext( ) offers the highest performance among all the techniques for iterating through a recordset:

$rs = $db->Execute("select * from emp where empno>:emp", array('emp' => 7900));
while (!$rs->EOF) {
print_r($rs->fields);
$rs->MoveNext();
}

And if you are interested in having the data returned in a 2-dimensional array, you can use:

$arr = $db->GetArray("select * from emp where empno>:emp", array('emp' => 7900));

Now to obtain only the first row as an array:

$arr = $db->GetRow("select * from emp where empno=:emp", array('emp' => 7900));

Or to retrieve only the first field of the first row:

$arr = $db->GetOne("select ename from emp where empno=:emp", array('emp' => 7900));

For easy pagination support, we provide the SelectLimit function. The following will perform a select query, limiting it to 100 rows, starting from row 201 (row 1 being the 1st row):

$offset = 200; $limitrows = 100;
$rs = $db->SelectLimit('select * from table', $limitrows, $offset);

The $offset parameter is optional.
Array Fetch Mode

When data is being returned in an array, you can choose the type of array the data is returned in.

1. Numeric indexes - use $connection->SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_NUM).
2. Associative indexes - the keys of the array are the names of the fields (in upper-case). Use $connection->SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC).
3. Both numeric and associative indexes - use $connection->SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_BOTH).

The default is ADODB_FETCH_BOTH for Oracle.
Caching

You can define a database cache directory using $ADODB_CACHE_DIR, and cache the results of frequently used queries that rarely change. This is particularly useful for SQL with complex where clauses and group-by's and order-by's. It is also good for relieving heavily-loaded database servers.

This example will cache the following select statement for 3600 seconds (1 hour):

$ADODB_CACHE_DIR = '/var/adodb/tmp';
$rs = $db->CacheExecute(3600, "select names from allcountries order by 1");

There are analogous CacheGetArray( ), CacheGetRow( ), CacheGetOne( ) and CacheSelectLimit( ) functions. The first parameter is the number of seconds to cache. You can also pass a bind array as a 3rd parameter (not shown above).

There is an alternative syntax for the caching functions. The first parameter is omitted, and you set the cacheSecs property of the connection object:

$ADODB_CACHE_DIR = '/var/adodb/tmp';
$connection->cacheSecs = 3600;
$rs = $connection->CacheExecute($sql, array('id' => 1));


3. Using Prepare( ) For Frequently Used Statements

Prepare( ) is for compiling frequently used SQL statement for reuse. For example, suppose we have a large array which needs to be inserted into an Oracle database. The following will result in a massive speedup in query execution (at least 20-40%), as the SQL statement only needs to be compiled once:

$stmt = $db->Prepare('insert into table (field1, field2) values (:f1, :f2)');
foreach ($arrayToInsert as $key => $value) {
$db->Execute($stmt, array('f1' => $key, 'f2' => $val);
}


4. Working With LOBs

Oracle treats data which is more than 4000 bytes in length specially. These are called Large Objects, or LOBs for short. Binary LOBs are BLOBs, and character LOBs are CLOBs. In most Oracle libraries, you need to do a lot of work to process LOBs, probably because Oracle designed it to work in systems with little memory. ADOdb tries to make things easy by assuming the LOB can fit into main memory.

ADOdb will transparently handle LOBs in select statements. The LOBs are automatically converted to PHP variables without any special coding.

For updating records with LOBs, the functions UpdateBlob( ) and UpdateClob( ) are provided. Here's a BLOB example. The parameters should be self-explanatory:

$ok = $db->Execute("insert into aTable (id, name, ablob)
values (aSequence.nextVal, 'Name', null)");
if (!$ok) return LogError($db->ErrorMsg());
# params: $tableName, $blobFieldName, $blobValue, $whereClause
$db->UpdateBlob('aTable', 'ablob', $blobValue, 'id=aSequence.currVal');

and the analogous CLOB example:

$ok = $db->Execute("insert into aTable (id, name, aclob)
values (aSequence.nextVal, 'Name', null)");
if (!$ok) return LogError($db->ErrorMsg());
$db->UpdateClob('aTable', 'aclob', $clobValue, 'id=aSequence.currVal');

Note that LogError( ) is a user-defined function, and not part of ADOdb.

Inserting LOBs is more complicated. Since ADOdb 4.55, we allow you to do this (assuming that the photo field is a BLOB, and we want to store $blob_data into this field, and the primary key is the id field):

$sql = "INSERT INTO photos ( ID, photo) ".
"VALUES ( :id, empty_blob() )".
" RETURNING photo INTO :xx";

$stmt = $db->PrepareSP($sql);
$db->InParameter($stmt, $id, 'id');
$blob = $db->InParameter($stmt, $blob_data, 'xx',-1, OCI_B_BLOB);
$db->StartTrans();
$ok = $db->Execute($stmt);
$db->CompleteTrans();

5. REF CURSORs

Oracle recordsets can be passed around as variables called REF Cursors. For example, in PL/SQL, we could define a function open_tab that returns a REF CURSOR in the first parameter:

TYPE TabType IS REF CURSOR RETURN TAB%ROWTYPE;

PROCEDURE open_tab (tabcursor IN OUT TabType,tablenames IN VARCHAR) IS
BEGIN
OPEN tabcursor FOR SELECT * FROM TAB WHERE tname LIKE tablenames;
END open_tab;

In ADOdb, we could access this REF Cursor using the ExecuteCursor() function. The following will find all table names that begin with 'A' in the current schema:

$rs = $db->ExecuteCursor("BEGIN open_tab(:refc,'A%'); END;",'refc');
while ($arr = $rs->FetchRow()) print_r($arr);

The first parameter is the PL/SQL statement, and the second parameter is the name of the REF Cursor.


6. In and Out Parameters

The following PL/SQL stored procedure requires an input variable, and returns a result into an output variable:

PROCEDURE data_out(input IN VARCHAR, output OUT VARCHAR) IS
BEGIN
output := 'I love '||input;
END;

The following ADOdb code allows you to call the stored procedure:

$stmt = $db->PrepareSP("BEGIN adodb.data_out(:a1, :a2); END;");
$input = 'Sophia Loren';
$db->InParameter($stmt,$input,'a1');
$db->OutParameter($stmt,$output,'a2');
$ok = $db->Execute($stmt);
if ($ok) echo ($output == 'I love Sophia Loren') ? 'OK' : 'Failed';

PrepareSP( ) is a special function that knows about bind parameters. The main limitation currently is that IN OUT parameters do not work.
Bind Parameters and REF CURSORs

We could also rewrite the REF CURSOR example to use InParameter (requires ADOdb 4.53 or later):

$stmt = $db->PrepareSP("BEGIN adodb.open_tab(:refc,:tabname); END;");
$input = 'A%';
$db->InParameter($stmt,$input,'tabname');
$rs = $db->ExecuteCursor($stmt,'refc');
while ($arr = $rs->FetchRow()) print_r($arr);

Bind Parameters and LOBs

You can also operate on LOBs. In this example, we have IN and OUT parameters using CLOBs.

$text = 'test test test';
$sql = "declare rs clob; begin :rs := lobinout(:sa0); end;";
$stmt = $conn -> PrepareSP($sql);
$conn -> InParameter($stmt,$text,'sa0', -1, OCI_B_CLOB); # -1 means variable length
$rs = '';
$conn -> OutParameter($stmt,$rs,'rs', -1, OCI_B_CLOB);
$conn -> Execute($stmt);
echo "return = ".$rs."
";

Similarly, you can use the constant OCI_B_BLOB to indicate that you are using BLOBs.
Reusing Bind Parameters with CURSOR_SHARING=FORCE

Many web programmers do not care to use bind parameters, and prefer to enter the SQL directly. So instead of:

$arr = $db->GetArray("select * from emp where empno>:emp", array('emp' => 7900));

They prefer entering the values inside the SQL:

$arr = $db->GetArray("select * from emp where empno>7900");

This reduces Oracle performance because Oracle will reuse compiled SQL which is identical to previously compiled SQL. The above example with the values inside the SQL is unlikely to be reused. As an optimization, from Oracle 8.1 onwards, you can set the following session parameter after you login:

ALTER SESSION SET CURSOR_SHARING=FORCE

This will force Oracle to convert all such variables (eg. the 7900 value) into constant bind parameters, improving SQL reuse.

More speedup tips.


7. Dates and Datetime in ADOdb

There are two things you need to know about dates in ADOdb.

First, to ensure cross-database compability, ADOdb assumes that dates are returned in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD H24:MI:SS).

Secondly, since Oracle treats dates and datetime as the same data type, we decided not to display the time in the default date format. So on login, ADOdb will set the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to 'YYYY-MM-DD'. If you prefer to show the date and time by default, do this:

$db = NewADOConnection('oci8');
$db->NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'RRRR-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS';
$db->Connect($tns, $user, $pwd);

Or execute:

$sql = "ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'RRRR-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'";
$db->Execute($sql);

If you are not concerned about date portability and do not use ADOdb's portability layer, you can use your preferred date format instead.

8. Database Portability Layer

ADOdb provides the following functions for portably generating SQL functions as strings to be merged into your SQL statements:
Function Description
DBDate($date) Pass in a UNIX timestamp or ISO date and it will convert it to a date string formatted for INSERT/UPDATE
DBTimeStamp($date) Pass in a UNIX timestamp or ISO date and it will convert it to a timestamp string formatted for INSERT/UPDATE
SQLDate($date, $fmt) Portably generate a date formatted using $fmt mask, for use in SELECT statements.
OffsetDate($date, $ndays) Portably generate a $date offset by $ndays.
Concat($s1, $s2, ...) Portably concatenate strings. Alternatively, for mssql use mssqlpo driver, which allows || operator.
IfNull($fld, $replaceNull) Returns a string that is the equivalent of MySQL IFNULL or Oracle NVL.
Param($name) Generates bind placeholders, using ? or named conventions as appropriate.
$db->sysDate Property that holds the SQL function that returns today's date
$db->sysTimeStamp Property that holds the SQL function that returns the current timestamp (date+time).
$db->concat_operator Property that holds the concatenation operator
$db->length Property that holds the name of the SQL strlen function.
$db->upperCase Property that holds the name of the SQL strtoupper function.
$db->random Property that holds the SQL to generate a random number between 0.00 and 1.00.
$db->substr Property that holds the name of the SQL substring function.

ADOdb also provides multiple oracle oci8 drivers for different scenarios:
Driver Name Description
oci805 Specifically for Oracle 8.0.5. This driver has a slower SelectLimit( ).
oci8 The default high performance driver. The keys of associative arrays returned in a recordset are upper-case.
oci8po The portable Oracle driver. Slightly slower than oci8. This driver uses ? instead of :bindvar for binding variables, which is the standard for other databases. Also the keys of associative arrays are in lower-case like other databases.

Here's an example of calling the oci8po driver. Note that the bind variables use question-mark:

$db = NewADOConnection('oci8po');
$db->Connect($tns, $user, $pwd);
$db->Execute("insert into atable (f1, f2) values (?,?)", array(12, 'abc'));


9. Connecting to Oracle

Before you can use ADOdb, you need to have the Oracle client installed and setup the oci8 extension. This extension comes pre-compiled for Windows (but you still need to enable it in the php.ini file). For information on compiling the oci8 extension for PHP and Apache on Unix, there is an excellent guide at oracle.com.
Should You Use Persistent Connections

One question that is frequently asked is should you use persistent connections to Oracle. Persistent connections allow PHP to recycle existing connections, reusing them after the previous web pages have completed. Non-persistent connections close automatically after the web page has completed. Persistent connections are faster because the cost of reconnecting is expensive, but there is additional resource overhead. As an alternative, Oracle allows you to pool and reuse server processes; this is called Shared Server (also known as MTS).

The author's benchmarks suggest that using non-persistent connections and the Shared Server configuration offer the best performance. If Shared Server is not an option, only then consider using persistent connections.
Connection Examples

Just in case you are having problems connecting to Oracle, here are some examples:

a. PHP and Oracle reside on the same machine, use default SID, with non-persistent connections:

$conn = NewADOConnection('oci8');
$conn->Connect(false, 'scott', 'tiger');

b. TNS Name defined in tnsnames.ora (or ONAMES or HOSTNAMES), eg. 'myTNS', using persistent connections:

$conn = NewADOConnection('oci8');
$conn->PConnect(false, 'scott', 'tiger', 'myTNS');

or

$conn->PConnect('myTNS', 'scott', 'tiger');

c. Host Address and SID

$conn->connectSID = true;
$conn->Connect('192.168.0.1', 'scott', 'tiger', 'SID');

d. Host Address and Service Name

$conn->Connect('192.168.0.1', 'scott', 'tiger', 'servicename');

e. Oracle connection string:

$cstr = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=$host)(PORT=$port))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=$sid)))";
$conn->Connect($cstr, 'scott', 'tiger');

f. ADOdb data source names (dsn):

$dsn = 'oci8://user:pwd@tnsname/?persist'; # persist is optional
$conn = ADONewConnection($dsn); # no need for Connect/PConnect

$dsn = 'oci8://user:pwd@host/sid';
$conn = ADONewConnection($dsn);

$dsn = 'oci8://user:pwd@/'; # oracle on local machine
$conn = ADONewConnection($dsn);

With ADOdb data source names, you don't have to call Connect( ) or PConnect( ).


10. Error Checking

The examples in this article are easy to read but a bit simplistic because we ignore error-handling. Execute( ) and Connect( ) will return false on error. So a more realistic way to call Connect( ) and Execute( ) is:

function InvokeErrorHandler()
{
global $db; ## assume global
MyLogFunction($db->ErrorNo(), $db->ErrorMsg());
}
if (!$db->Connect($tns, $usr, $pwd)) InvokeErrorHandler();

$rs = $db->Execute("select * from emp where empno>:emp order by empno",
array('emp' => 7900));
if (!$rs) return InvokeErrorHandler();
while ($arr = $rs->FetchRow()) {
print_r($arr);
echo "
";
}

You can retrieve the error message and error number of the last SQL statement executed from ErrorMsg( ) and ErrorNo( ). You can also define a custom error handler function. ADOdb also supports throwing exceptions in PHP5.


Handling Large Recordsets (added 27 May 2005)
The oci8 driver does not support counting the number of records returned in a SELECT statement, so the function RecordCount() is emulated when the global variable $ADODB_COUNTRECS is set to true, which is the default. We emulate this by buffering all the records. This can take up large amounts of memory for big recordsets. Set $ADODB_COUNTRECS to false for the best performance.

This variable is checked every time a query is executed, so you can selectively choose which recordsets to count.

PhpMyAdmin

Phpmyadmin adalah suatu aplikasi yang dibuat dengan bahasa pemrograman PHP yang ditujukan untuk pengelolaan basis data MySQL melalui Internet. Fungsi phpmyadmin sama dengan fungsi software lain seperti SQLYOG dan MySQLFront. Hanya saja PhpMyAdmin adalah free software. Sebelum mengikuti tutorial ini lebih lanjut, ada baiknya anda mendownload dulu phpmyadmin.

Cara Menggunakan Phpmyadmin

1. Pastikan Apache, PHP dan MySQL sudah terinstall di komputer Anda. Copy file phpMyAdmin-2.5.6.zip ke dalam folder di mana anda menyimpan file php (dalam Document Root)

2. Extract file tersebut sehingga akan terbentuk sebuah folder bernama phpMyAdmin-2.5.6

3. Bukalah web browser dan ketikkan http://localhost, lalu carilah folder tersebut.
Jika web browser anda menampilkan halaman sbb, maka anda harus mengatur / konfigurasi username dan password mysql di phpmyadmin terlebih dahulu.

4. Akan tetapi jika tampilannya sebagai berikut, berarti anda tidak perlu melakukan pengaturan / konfigurasi username dan password mysql di phpmyadmin

5. Jika tampilannya seperti pada gambar 3, maka anda harus melakukan konfigurasi username dan password mysqldi phpmyadmin. Caranya adalah buka folder phpMyAdmin-2.5.6 melalui windows explorer. Kemudian bukalah file config.inc.php (boleh menggunakan Dreamweaver maupun notepad).

6. Ubahlah beberapa settingan sbb :
di baris ke 69 : $cfg[’Servers’][$i][’host’] = ‘localhost’;
$cfg[’Servers’][$i][’host’] berisi host atau komputer tempat database mysql berada. Isi dengan localhost jika database mysql berada di komputer anda

Di baris ke-70 : $cfg[’Servers’][$i][’port’] = ‘’;
$cfg[’Servers’][$i][’port’] adalah port yang digunakan mysql. Kosongkan jika mysql anda menggunakan port standar (3306)

Di baris ke-83 : $cfg[’Servers’][$i][’user’] = ‘root’;
$cfg[’Servers’][$i][’user’] adalah user yang digunakan untuk koneksi ke mysql

Di baris ke-84 : $cfg[’Servers’][$i][’password’] = ‘’;
$cfg[’Servers’][$i][’password’] adalah password yang digunakan untuk koneksi ke mysql

Blog Is ...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Blog (disambiguation).
“Blogger” redirects here. For the blog publishing system, see Blogger (service).

A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) or sexual topics (Adult blog), and are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts.

In May 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 71 million blogs

Membuat Halaman Login Dengan PHP, MySQL, AJAX, Script.aculo.us dan Prototype.js (bag 1)

Dalam tutorial kali ini, saya akan menjelaskan bagaimana cara membuat halaman login dengan PHP, MySQL, AJAX, ScriptAculous dan Prototype.js. Untuk mengikuti tutorial ini, Anda sebaiknya sudah mengerti konsep webserver, PHP, dan database MySQL. Kalo belum, sebaiknya Anda mempelajarinya terlebih dahulu. Anda juga harus mengerti AJAX, ScriptAculous dan Prototype.js. Kalo belum mengerti, sebaiknya baca tutorialnya di sini dulu.

Oke, kita mulai saja ya... Pertama Anda harus menyiapkan sebuah halaman HTML untuk login. Kita beri nama "login.php".


saya rasa untuk tag HTML tidak perlu saya jelaskan lagi. Itu adalah tag HTML untuk membuat halaman login yang terdiri dari textbox username dan password. Dalam HTML di atas juga saya buatkan sebuah div untuk menampung hasil error ketika proses login berlangsung. Untuk mengikuti tutorial login bagian ke2, sebaiknya Anda download dulu library prototype.js dan scriptaculous. Tunggu tutorial bagian keduanya ya....
