Post after really long time.
- In AJAX the text which is displayed in the responsetext is the one which is echoed by the user in the php portion.

-explode function’s last parameter limit if it is negative removes the -limit number of elements from the array.
- Indentation while writing the variable name is good, so that all the variables and their values appear in the correct alignment.

Aug 24-28 week

HTML entities include a number of symbols like &,,’,” amongst others. So these have to be kept in mind before debugging them.
URL entities include characters like % followed by two numbers to denote a number of characters.

August 10-13 Week

Long time since the last post.
- One nice way of appending data into an array is
$array[]=”keyword” instead of the array_push function which was used earlier.
- While giving a query inserting values (,,) would create a problem. As a value is expected immediately after the comma during parsing. So avoid this.

Last week of July

$_post is an array itself and if we access each of the elements associatively then it is through their names while passing and when numerically it is accessed it is done in the order of the variables being passed.
When HTML Form is being printed outside the PHP then it prints as if PHP was not present earlier. To be verified.
When fetching data from a page then javascript can be used. Otherwise when using data from another page then it is better off using PHP for the purpose. Using echo concept in the form or wherever applicable.
Also while moving across pages then the ID could also be passed using get and subsequently all data fetched according to id this is an alternative approach. Otherwise post method is all right.

Jul 20: Javascript usage and other things through the week

workanubhav — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 07:24:07 +0000

Here the javascript page different syntax is used to access the different entities.
Like for accessing the form we use document.forms[0] or document.”form name” and then using this we can access any of the form’s entities.
So document.something helps us access whatever we might be requiring.
For redirection we can use window.location in javascript and header function in PHP.
Jul 22,
Don’t use limit in the SQL query. It would tell you that only those many queries are there.
mysql_fetch_row: You cannot access any row associatively, you can only access the value numerically that is through the array.

Jul 17:More observations

workanubhav — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 07:26:56 +0000

mysql_fetch_array may not always return a false when you think are no rows present like while using max(keyid) function when there are no rows present then a NULL value is returned instead of false. So accordingly plan the return statements. It might not be what is expected.
PHPMyadmin is accessed through the cpanel of the FTP via mySQL database.

Jul 16:Completing ad dump and Rankchecking

workanubhav — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 11:58:14 +0000

Knowledge of regular expressions would be good.
Completing google top ads right now.
Beginning to work on the FTP server so that is also a new learning experience. Using Filezilla to begin with although there is a Firefox plug-in as well.
Use the keyword global with the variable when using it within the function to access the variable defined outside. If for some reason you are not able to access a particular variable within a block then try using global keyword for that purpose.

Tue:Advanced backlinks

workanubhav — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 07:08:13 +0000

The URLs which are to be passed are not be have any plus sign within them especially while using the XML tree format to access it. The + sign is only required for queries and they cause a problem while working with URLs in the form of the linkdomain format. Also urlencode is not really required in that case, exactly how to go about urlencode is to be seen.
While using strings take a good look at the functions. For eg- using explode right now to separate the 3rd slash from the address and extracting the part before it, that is the domain of an address.
List works without the parameters part too.
. operator helps us append strings to one another and store it directly.
Addslashes command helps us automatically includes the special chars like quotes and all which might have been a problem during initial data entry into SQL.

Mon Jul 11: Backlinks expansion

workanubhav — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 07:57:37 +0000

Currently generating backlinks using the Boss API and now trying to work it out using a different approach using the main search. This involves using linkdomain keyword in front of site name.
Link: Only that particular link.
Linkdomain: All link pointing to the domain.
site: This is also used to access sites from a particular domain. (More used for inclusion and exclusion purpose)
Usually the site part would be used at a later part of the syntax through linkdomain.
Also for mysql_fetch_array in case the field name is too complicated and you need to access the name of the array associatively that too in a simpler way then use the keyword as. Eg – select “complicated” as “simple”
And the subsequent access would have to be record["simple"]
