Autoresponders With PHP
Today, we're going to learn three easy things: redirection, mail sending, and form submission. When we finish with that, you will know how to put those components together and create an autoresponder. Because if you think about it, that's all an autoresponder does. Somebody enters in their e-mail address, are sent an e-mail message, and then are redirected to a new page.

Google Suggest With PHP
Google Suggest is an experiment that tries putting an "autocomplete" into search queries. This isn't brand new, I've seen this sort of thing done on sites like PHP.net on and off for about a year. Basically you'd type in the first few letters of a function and it would suggest a bunch to you.

More Autoresponders With PHP
Last week, we learned how to make simple text-only, one-shot autoresponders. After the article was published, I was asked to teach a method of creating follow-up responders. You know the type... someone subscribes and receives their initial message. After a few days, or a few weeks, or even months, another message in the autoresponder series is mailed out. This is useful if you're presenting a course that is split it up into many different lessons, which you want to give someone at a certain pace.

PHP in the Command Line
Ever run commands in DOS? You've used a shell. A "shell" in the computer world is a place where you enter commands and run files by name rather than clicking around different windows. Most web hosts let you operate a shell remotely. This means that you can type commands in window on your computer, that are actually run on your web host, thousands of miles away.

Site Personalization With PHP
Your HTML files can work as PHP scripts. Take any HTML file you have and rename it to a PHP extension. (So for example, if your HTML file is named sales.html, rename it to sales.php). Put sales.php on your web server and run it in your browser. You get the exact same result as you did with the HTML page. Now, for the good part.
