I recently setup a simple PHP script that allows the site admin to copy and paste embded code from YouTube into a MySQL database.
The code is pasted into a simple HTML textarea field and the user hits an ‘Upload’ button. The code is then inserted into the database using a simple MySQL UPDATE query.
Once the query runs, a simple return message is displayed saying ‘Upload Successful!’.

The concept of a variable is used to store information that can be used later on. PHP variables are very easy to setup and define; here is the syntax:
$nameOfVariable = Value;
where Value can be any string.
Examples:
$var = ‘Hello World’;
$data = ‘12345’;
$myString = ‘xyz’;
To print a variable out to the webpage, just use the ‘echo’ statement:
echo $var;
According to www.tizag.com, here are some important tips on variable naming conventions:
There are a few rules that you need to follow when choosing a name for your PHP variables.
PHP variables must start with a letter or underscore “_”.
PHP variables may only be comprised of alpha-numeric characters and underscores. a-z, A-Z, 0-9, or _ .
Variables with more than one word should be separated with underscores. $my_variable
Variables with more than one word can also be distinguished with capitalization. $myVariable

I was scanning Craigslist looking for some work and saw someone looking for a web developer at $7 an hour. You gotta be kidding me. I can make more than that working at Home Depot.
If you are a developer or designer, never settle for less than what you think you deserve. If you are good, then charge it.
Someone else made a comment about this on Craigslist – here was his/her comment:
“There have been many postings lately asking for designers/coders/who knows what and offering practically minimum wage. That is despicable. I have personally found that 30 dollars is the bare minimum (I was charging that while still in school).
And anyone who is thinking of taking a job at anything less than 30 an hour (unless you have no experience and it is a very good internship), please reconsider, it hurts and cheapens our profession.”
Tiffany’s Rentals (www.tiffanysrentals.com) lists a nice selection of houses for rent on Bald Head Island, located off of the southeastern coast of North Carolina, between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic ocean.
Graphic Moxie has done an excellent job redesigning the website and Impulse has been in charge of the PHP programming and MySQL database development. The rentals are stored in a database and the site admin has the ability to add, update and delete rental listings at their leisure.
The new design should be up very soon so be sure and check out the site in the near future.
