Author: Sazzad Hossain
Language: PHP
Summary: Many people began sending me pm’s on how to do certain things in php. Instead of answering all of them, I thought why not create a thread where people can post the basic functions of php. Here I am talking about a very important php function: php date. I use this function for many purpose, but here I’ll just explain the general purpose/use.

In this tutorial, we will be using a form which we will use to submit our text. This technique is often used for adding copyright to images and or creating cool image based signatures. To make it easier for us to understand, I will be focusing this tutorial on creating a script that will help us generate a e-mail signature.
Guide to Writing Good Tutorials
By: Sazzad Hossain & Shrud Studios
What is a tutorial?
We all know that the computer presents new concepts and skills through interactive text, illustrations, descriptions, questions and problems. Information is sequenced to build on previously learned concepts, and often provides feedback and guidance. So to keep others upto par and help them understand “how to do” something is what a tutorial is. In short terms, tutorial is a set of ordered instruction that teaches someone something new. Tutorials can be on almost any subject. It can be on how to create a new solar powered motor, write a research paper, to build a robot, or how to survive your wife. But for the sake of “keeping the flow,” on this forum we will keep it relating to the WEB and PROGRAMMING in general.

Authors Note: In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a very simplified counter script. Unlike the general counter scripts, here we will also have a general page view counter, unique view counter, total users online and users viewing current page.
Title: qTip Effect
Language: Javascript, CSS, XHTML
Author: Craig Erskine, Sazzad Hossain
Demo: http://solardreamstudios.com/_img/learn/css/qtip/qTip.html
Authors Note: This effect will allow you to have a very cool hover effect using javascript and css. The javascript is the core file that causes the hover effect while the css file controls the layout of it. The credit goes out mostly to Craig Erskine, who explained the steps/procedures very clearly. Without his help I wouldn’t be able to post this tutorial. You can also do this in CSS. I will work on the CSS tutorial for the same effect later.
