PHP Developer - December 5th, 2006
The International PHP Magazine has posted the results from their latest poll of the week. This time they asked the slightly odd question of opinions on the PHP Throwdown event - “The Rules of PHP Throwdown Include”.
Seems like the question might have confused some others because the votes were notably lower than in some previous weeks. There was a tie for first place, though - both coming in with 6.8% of the votes were the “You can use PHP4 or PHP 5, MySQL or SQLite, Ajax, HTML, XHTML, and Javascript but no Flash” and “All” options. Dead last with no votes was the “All applications must be licensed with a CC compatible license” option.
They’ve also posted a new poll for this week asking which of the options you think still ring true when it comes to PHP:
- PHP administrators like to compile PHP in Summer
- Register global is not dead
- memory_limit is not used
- PHP applications handle 100 Mb files

As mentioned by the Zend Developer Zone, there’s a new tutorial over on the AnyExample.com website that shows how to get up and working with a PHP+Ajax connection in no time flat. The goal? To handle a file upload asynchronously from the user.
This article contains example application (trivial file-sharing service, like rapidshare, megaupload or yousendit) which uses embedded frames (IFRAME) to upload file. While file is uploaded to hidden frame, user can still access web-page and fill “file description” field.
They talk briefly about the PHP functions that will be used in the tutorial and the concept of using IFRAMEs to handle the content coming in (without reloading the page). The rest of the article is a code dump showing the pieces of (procedural) code to get the job done. There’s some commenting, but if you’re a new coder to PHP, you might want to check out the main PHP site for some more information on the functions used.
