Previously I wrote a script which would allow a user to click a piece of text, and it would fadeout the content and fade in a new piece of content. This script expands on the previous one. It was inspired by a comment a user had left me.
The commenter wanted a script where by he had multiple ’slides’ of content, and when a user clicked on one of the slides, it would fade out the current slide and fade in a new slide. I wrote a brief script to try and help him. However i felt that other people may want a similar script.
So now i have created a more SEO friendly script, which is alot more dynamic and allows for easy manipulating of content. As well as the features above, it will allow the user with javascript turned off to see all the content.
I’ve created an example file located here, where you can download and view the code. The example given, shows slides from a presentation i gave last year. (more…)

Over the christmas break, I decided to get my hands dirty, and do some coding for some projects I’ve been wanting to get started for the past few months, but have been too busy to start working on.

I knew i wanted to write some PHP applications, and wanted to take a strict MVC approach to coding them. The advantage of this is that my code would be cleaner and easier to manage.
So what is a framework some people may be asking. As a very basic definition I would say it is a collection of classes and functions which will reduce the amount of coding you have to do, which will enable you to perform common tasks. (more…)

First of all what are SEF URLs? SEF stands for Search Engine Friendly and URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator (this is what you type into your browser to find a web site e.g. http://www.google.com/.
Examples of SEF URLs
An example of a SEF URL would something like the example below:
http://www.myshop.com/products/books/frankenstein.html
Whilst an unSEF URL would be something like:
http://www.myshop.com/products.php?type=45&itemid=4234
