Video Tutorial Of Content Management System In Php Newbies Try My Video Tutorial

Recommended Posts

I'm just putting the finishing touches on a first draft of a Video Tutorial on using PHP to create a basic Content Management System. I'm hoping to find a couple of new coders to have a look. The tutorial is split into 4 sections1. Introduction and LayoutThis section goes over the assumptions I make about the person watching the tutorial. For Example. Don't know alot about PHP, but do have a system up and running and understand how to upload pages to there server, whether on their Development box or through a hosting company. It also goes over how I will be doing layout of the CMS. (Using Tables this time around. CSS is for another tutorial.). No PHP is used in the introduction.2. Using includes to split up pages, and pass variable from page to page, create an admin side/back endA. This section shows how to split up the basic template page and have PHP piece it back together again to be served.B. Show basic Variable syntax, then use that skill to pass information back and forth between pages (page titles etc). C. Create a backend that is password protected (very basic). The Login Script is the first Form and shows a little about arraysD. Introduction to if(){ }else{ }, introduction to trim(), strtolower(), var_dump(), session_start(), $_SESSION.3. The Image Script/Creating a basic Image GalleryA. More indepth look at variables. When to concantonate, using single and double quotes.B. More indepth look at arrays.C. When to access PHP specific Arrays ($_POST, $_SERVER, $_GET, $_FILES)D. Using the above information to build an image galleryE. In the process learn readdir(), opendir(), unlink(), and move_uploaded_file() and while(){}.4. Using MYSQLA. Create connection.B. Use the connection.C. mysql_query(), mysql_fetch_array(), and looping through results.D. Using above information to populate our CMS with content.In anycase it is a first draft and the first 3 sections are complete. I should be finished with the 4th one in a few more hours. I'm hoping to also have someone who knows what they are doing to take a look at it and give me any opinions they may have on what I'm teaching when and why.Right now the tutorials are in WMV format, so window$ is a must. I haven't bought the Quicktime Plug In yet to get the file sizes real small. Private Message me or whatever if you are interested.
