Club Par Excellance take on PHP

For the most common recognition of PHP these days, it stands for Hypertext Pre-processor. But in 1994, it was termed as “Personal Home Page” tool by its creator Rasmus Lerdolf. Then in 1997, it was also called as “Professional Home Pages.”

It is perhaps the most famous scripting language over the web applied to improve web pages, so it becomes more like the backbone of these web pages. The application of PHP makes users do a lot of things like create a username or password login pages, verify details from a form, start forums, surveys, picture galleries, web content, and so forth. It can be implemented in two ways – from the command line or using a web browser like Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox.

PHP is considered as a server-sided language, that is because it is not implemented right away on your computer, but rather on the computer you made your page request. Then the results are given to you and club par excellance in your browser. The said competitors of PHP are CGI-Perl, Sun’s Java-JSP, Microsoft’s C#-Visual Basic.NET-ASP family, and Macromedia’s ColdFusion.

Jazz Up Your Profile

You’ve got a great circle of friends. Each time you check your Inbox, it is inundated with MySpace updates. Clicking on your friends’ pages, you quickly find that you are compelled to browse each and every one of these attractive pages. Some belong to strangers whom you hardly even know, so why are you so obligated to check them out?

You actively update your profile and upload every single photograph that will give a clue about your lifestyle in a bid to attract more new friends, but to no avail. The solution to this is rather simple: Give your MySpace page a better layout.

The first thing that you should do is to ensure that your fonts are readable. Matrix-like background with neon green words look really cool and all but your readers might leave your page with sore eye balls, thanks to the high contrast. Next, you should try to prioritise your information and give them better titles, one that will sum up nicely what you are trying to say. Grab readers’ attention the first chance you get. A header like “Why I Eat Hamsters For Breakfast” will certainly garner more interest than a mere “My Profile” title. Finally, when optimising your MySpace layout, make sure you go easy on the graphics. Utilise HTML and create thumbnails for your huge photographs, and use .gif animations sparingly or it will turn off visitors.

If you follow the steps above, you’re well on your way to be the talk of the (MySpace) town!
