When will the next part of User Registration and login be out?

can’t wait for that one and i love the videos!

http://us.php.net/pathinfo will get the file extension as well. Its easier than regular expressions.

I use this in every project. Its just wraps pre tags around print_r. Saves a lot of time debugging though.

/**
* @brief Returns output of print_r enclosed in \c tags.
* @return string The output of print_r enclosed in \c tags.
* @param mixed $expression The expression to be printed.
* @param bool $return[optional] Set to TRUE to return output, FALSE to print.
*/
function pre_r($expression, $return = false) {
if ($return) {
return ” . print_r($expression, true) . ”;
} else {
echo ”;
print_r($expression, false);
echo ”;
}
}

Now I can just type pre_r($array); and it will look pretty in the browser.

I think line 51 (index.php) is wrong. It should be $path = $target . urlencode($file_name); otherwise the code will not correctly handle filenames with wired characters in them.

Pleeeease don’t stop the series, Jeff! I know there is so much more to learn in PHP, but these examples are invaluable and (to a person that’s new to PHP) very inspirational. Your screencasts have really opened my eyes to what all can be done, and you explain it so well.

As long as you continue to have the time to do these, I know I’ll still be watching every episode!

Great tutorial,

Any chance of some more OOP in PHP.

Youre great! Looked for something like this! THANKS!

I’m all for the Diving Into PHP Day 64

I suppose a re-brand could be good, Deep Sea Diving into PHP?

Yay my fav video series is back! And on Nettuts too – cross promotoin? LOL.

I love the 10-15 min videos, plus as well, if theres something i dont understand i can always re-watch them!

For future videos, i love seeing how PHP and MySQL interact, then perhaps throw in some jQuery and it’d be awesome.

People should check out the jQuery series too, that’s REALLY handy for desingers that don’t program too well.

Great job Jef – nice work as always!

Great tutorial Jeffrey! That was a great introduction to file uploads. Very organized and clean. I would also mention that storing the image outside of the web root and giving the uploaded file a generated name with the uniqid(’photo’) function would also help make it more secure. That way the user will not know the file name. Thanks a lot. I loved the jQuery series and would love to see some more.

BTW, those mistakes were not your fault. That editor you are using really sucks. It changed your code a couple of times which gave you those parse errors.

I am sure you get tired of doing what seems to be basic php, but I second Shaun that these are invaluable to those of us learning. I have read a few books on php and I can tell you that hearing and seeing you explain this makes it so much clearer.

The best thing is that you are taking some time to talk about security. I do get tired sometimes of reading tutorials only to find “oh, but never use this on a site” lurking at the end of it. (I also realize you aren’t making any promises of “100%” security, however.)

@David Thank for those tips. Seems like a good opportunity for you to write a tut here?

Thanks!

This has been a great series, and just what I needed. Thanks a ton!!!

Great stuff Jeff! I would love the intermediate series.

Great Stuff dude, PHP is a realy nice Script speak, i love the code

good job!!

Jeffrey, you’ve got the best series I’ve ever seen.

Absolutely awesome!!

Thanks guys!

ohh jeff

same old day 12

Guys, could you please have a mirror for these screencasts? In youtube or maybe a direct link to download them? We really appreciate it. Thanks.

Thank You Jeff,Will we have a screencast in this week?

Another great tutorial. This is my favorite TV show

great, what is your editor please ?

Ive been wanting to know how to do this for some time now.
what a coincidence that it shows up on your site.
by the way your tutorials are really great help.
keep it going!

oh yes one more thing.

keep doing the php tutorials definitely.

they are invaluable.

Doing an awesome job as always Jeff, I think it would be a shame to end it at 15 but the thoughts of an intermediate series is very tempting. Either way thanks for the tutorials

I discover your tuts recently…what a happiness! ecerything is easy with you..and the small mistakes you do is also learning tool for me and for a lot of persons I am sure. You troubleshoot fast and you really have talent for providing training. Bref tu es trop bon! I am following your PHP series and JQuery.
Steff I wanted to ask you somehting if you think is relevant for your series.
I know it is not always relevant to do Stored procedures but I really learn them. So I will appreciate if ou can show us how to write for a stored procedure in MySQL and call it within a PHP string using mysqli. You have covered already the prepare statements, maybe would you do this extra effot to couple prepare statements and stored procedure.
Thanks for everything
Esteban

Hey thanks for the tut, any idea when are you gonna make a tut on password protected pages.

PS: dont stop making php tuts, they’re great:

Jeff i guess you guys are caching the content, yesterday in the same video i saw the File Handling, but today its about File Unloader

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your great screen casts and tutorials. Can you please post the previous screen casts too in net tuts? I always get an 404 error in themeforest blog which I’ve already complained. And I heard people other then me are also having the same problem.
I appreciate if you could post wordpress, PHP screen casts here in net tuts.

Thanking you again.

I really enjoyed these series! thanks

Great series! Many many thanks!

How awsome is this .. Keep it up
this is just what i needed

your php tutorials are definitely invaluable, please keep them coming.

I can see no reason in this context to throw an exeception.

1.) From a semantic view: Uploading a File is a highly security-related thing, where you should not start experimenting with unhandled behavior

2.) As far as im know you should use Exeptions in a context if you are not sure about the actual result of some function behavior etc, in this case you have strict rules (i.e. has right filesize, filetype correct etc.)

Intermediate Series! – Jeffrey you are the man…

Great series, i would love to see some more advanced stuff, also something about using php to send mails and a little bit of OOP.

You are inspiration, you makes me wanna work! Congrats! It is really interesting Jeff!

I think there is an error, because if file size is more than 300kb, it shouldnt return “true” to isset($status)… but anyway it was, not uploading the file, but not showing the error neither. :/

Hi Jeff,
did you know that

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
echo “something”;
}

does not work in Internet Explorer?

Great set of tuts! Thanks for all the effort you have put into these.
I really like the idea of an intermediate series. I would also like to see
a series where you tie a variety of other languages together, similar
to your jquery or back-end admin tuts. Thanks again.

I’ve been trying to learn PHP for so long, and while some of this was review, I still learned so much. It also helped me think of PHP programming in a new way, and allowed me to be more confident in what I can do with it.

I’d love if you continued the tutorials after day 15! An intermediate set would be ideal, you explain things so well!

does anybody know how it works to upload all files, not only jpgs???

thx

I would recommend you to use some of IDE with parse error detection – like Eclipse PDT is. It will save a lot of type-check cycles

Hi Jeff, i spoke to you a little while ago via email, you were helping me out with OOP code in the Zip_Archive().

I think everyone would love to an OOP screencast these tutorials are great!

thanks alot!

Ben

day 14 is awesome! Im starting to feel like im getting the hang of php Keep going past 15 days or or do intermediate level, ether way you cant stop php im hooked now

Hi I’m trying to upload an mp3 and get it to play in a basic flash player. The audio uploads fine, however when it is clicked to play in the flash player, it just hangs and says buffering forever.

You can try it out @

http://www.toraprod.com/test/upload/index2.php

This is the code for the flash part. The flash player works fine with audio files directly linked to it.

if(isset($status)) {
$path = $target . $file_name;
echo “Congratulations. Hear your file.“;

echo ”

“;

}
?>

Thanks! for anyone who takes time to help. Thanks Jeffery for the shout out during that tut! It’s exactly what I wanted to cover.

/**
if(isset($status)) {
$path = $target . $file_name;
echo “Congratulations. Hear your file.“;

echo ”

“;

}
?>
**/

Where is day 14 STEVE ?

I think the idea of an intermediate series is great. I’m really anxious for more of these.

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for the lessons! I learn it way better this way, then from a book. It’s easier to understand this way, and if you understand this way, it’s a lot easier to read a book of you already know a couple of things.

I was just wondering if you could do a lesson about mail()(or PHPMailer) and/or more mySQL. Especially login. INSERT and SELECT helped me a lot and i have much fun with it, but how can i fix a login page? I really hope you have the time and money to do a lot more episodes, it helps me(and not only me) very very much to understand PHP.

Thank you very much!!

Hi Jeff,

I’m really liking your screen casts in php, I’ve learnt loads so far and hope to learn a lot more, also i really like your jQuery screen casts too.

Keep it up.

Jeff!

When will we see Day 14? I hope you haven’t died from exhaustion yet

Hi Jeff, yes i’m also hoping you do a day 14! This is great stuff.

I’m Working on a website with gallery for a friend and i didn’t know how to do the upload part.. this tutorial is very great i’ve read about ten twenty tutorials about file upload but no other tutorial was explained part by part like this one know i know what i have to do.. maybe in the next tutorial or i dunno do onther tutorial for multiple file upload and inserting the data into mysql for pictures.. or other stuff.. would be very nice and a great help for lot’s of ppl.

I wanna see a Intermediate Series named, “A Firm Grip on PHP”.

Nice! always good to go over php

When will the series continue? or will it?
I enjoyed this.
Maybe branch to another level.

This is so great. Thank you very much! And please, make this a 300 days Diving into PHP marathon!

Is there a day 14? Or does this series continue on under a different name?

I love your tutorials, and I’ve tried to learn PHP before, and have never understood it, but these tutorials really help me to understand the language better.

I appreciate all the effort you put into these Jeff, and hope you continue to do them.

great man! keep it up

Dude, I’d pay for these. Don’t stop.

Sob sob sob… is day 13 the end? I want to learn more

First of all: I love these tutorials. I’m watching them all, as I watched the awsome serie jquery for beginners.

There is a little mistake in line 12 of the index.php

$_FILES['file']['size'] > 300000) does not work. You see it in the tutorial on minute 17, where the file is not uploaded and the message “congrats…” ist thrown out.

If the file is larger than the size defined in line 42 :
input type=”hidden” name=”MAX_FILE_SIZE” value=”300000″
the $_FILES-array-values of ‘error’ and ’size’ are changing. ‘error’ becomes ‘2′ and (that is the key:) ’size’ bekomes ‘0′.

Something like $_FILES['file']['size'] == ‘0′ && $_FILES['file']['error'] ==’2′ should work.

@jeff Please go on making these tutorials. I love them all. Didn’t find anything helpful like this in german.

beneblack

more php tutorials like this please.

best video tutorial for a beginner like me.Thanks Jeffrey Way.i want to know how to create a user image crop application after upload.waiting for that

Are there not going to be any more of these?

Can’t keep asking it…. please keep this going, either here or “there”

Dont stop! keep going all the way to 100 videos. there is so much more to learn with MySQL etc…

We love it, keep it coming!
