26032An Overview of Arrays in PHP by Matt Wadehttp://codewalkers.com/tutorials.php?show=8The PHP Manual defines an array in PHP as an ordered map. Personally, I don't like this definition. I will define an array in PHP as a collection of variables, which I think is a little more descriptive. In most languages, at least the ones I am familiar with, the variables in this collection must all be of the same type. Not so in PHP! This is because of PHP's Type Juggling. I'm not going to go into great detail about Type Juggling, but basically it means that you don't declare a variable as a certain type. The context in which the variable is used determines its type.PHP > Tips and Tutorials > DevelopmentOct 15, 2006

This post gives an introduction to the complications that can arise from deploying your PHP applications onto a load balanced web hosting platform. This is a must-read article if you are planning to develop large scale web applications, or if your software will be deployed on a large range of platforms (as is the case for many open source projects).
Fluent Interfaces is not a new programming construct, in fact many of you may be doing it without knowing it?s name. In other languages it is commonly known as ?chaining?. However, PHP developers have not been able to use them until PHP 5. Now with PHP 5 and the ability to directly dereference an object, PHP developers can build objects using fluent interfaces.
What is meant by a Front Controller. This is a term used to describe a common place that all page requests are passed through before processing begins. This is ideal to setup your application environment (database connections, .ini configurations, etc). We will be using it to take the request and manipulate it to find the corresponding template. Once the template is found we then process it and then render it.
