PHP Sessions Video Tutorials - Part 3
Posted by admin
Original PostThis is part 3 (of 3) of my video tutorials that introduces PHP sessions to beginners.

The video:
PHP session video tutorial - part 3
Notes from the videos:
Session ID:
PHP sessions create a unique id that is passed on to the user by either a cookie or in the URL string. To be clear, the actual information tracked about the user is stored on the server, the cookie or URL string only contains the unique id that is automatically generated by the PHP session object.
How long do sessions last?
By default, sessions are set to last 24 minutes - although your hosting company could set this to any length of time they want. Once a session expires, the server deletes all information associated with that session. Sessions are kept active by the user hitting pages that have session enabled.
Remember that sessions are not meant as a long term storage solution, that is what databases are for.
Sessions are arrays:
Sessions are auto global associative arrays (on steroids) that can be accessed on any session enabled page. This is yet another example of why knowing arrays is so important in PHP … and in programming in general.
Sessions have to be declared at the very top of the PHP page!
To use session in a PHP page, it needs to be declared at the very top of the page, before anything else, otherwise you will get an error.
-
If any of the above points confuse you, all you need to do is watch the videos and it will all magically become clear.

PHP Sessions Video Tutorials - Part 1 of 3
Posted by admin
Hi,
I’ve just released a new beginners video tutorial that introduces people to PHP sessions:
PHP sessions are one of the most important mechanisms in PHP because they solve a fundamental issue in web application development: keeping state on a user.

If what I just says confuses you, no worries, it’s explained in the video.
This is video 1 of 2 on sessions.
Thanks,

Configuring Wordpress 6 of 8
Posted by admin
I just got back from a trip to Thailand, so I should be back creating new videos and articles on PHP. In the meantime, I have a few Wordpress videos that might interest some of you.
About the videos:
I cover just the basics in the videos I have up now, but I am working on new videos that will teach you how to create Wordpress themes from scratch.
How does this relate to PHP?
… Though not required, PHP knowledge can help when creating themes for Wordpress. This leads me to why I posted this on Killerphp.com: part of the reason I created killerphp.com is because Wordpress is written in PHP. Wordpress is a good example of object oriented PHP and is a great piece of software that can be used as the foundation for other projects - Wordpress platform?
From my killersites.com blog:
I decided to create a dedicated Wordpress section on killersites.com
Right now, I only a have a few videos (with a bunch more coming) but I am also thinking of maybe some written tutorials etc…
The videos:
wordpress-logo
So far I’ve only added a few videos but have another 40 minutes of video to edit that should be up this week.
Any comments or suggest are welcome.

Configuring WordPress Part 1 of 8
Posted by admin
Blogs are now a fundamental part of the Web (they’re everywhere!) and as such, every web designer should know about them.
… This is something I’ve been preaching for a few years now.
Why Wordpress?
I’ve decided to go with Wordpress (as my blog of choice) for several reasons:
- It is the most popular blog software that I know of.
- It is mature and well built.
- It is written in PHP.
So, I’ve put my videos where my mouth is, and created a batch of video tutorials on Wordpress. I hope you’ll find them useful.
Thanks,
Stefan Mischook
