The PHPWNed Tutorial API allows people that are not PHP/MySQL experts to create
fully featured tutorials systems with ease. Absolutely no MySQL knowledge is required
and only basic understanding of PHP is needed to create yourself a tutorial system.
The PHPWned Tutorial API will soon be released for free download.
Features:
- Categories
- Multi-page support
- BBCode support
- Mod_Rewrite support (fetch tutorials and categories using titles such as 'this_is_a_test_tutorial')
Looking for Betatesters
The Tutorial API is soon entering beta stage and I'm looking for dedicated people who
would like to use, test, report bugs and such. If you're interested in joining the beta
testers team, send me a PM. I'm limiting the team to 5 beta testers and I will select
people based on skill, professionality and dedication.
Position 1: Antonio
Position 2: DanWilliamson
Position 3: Aaron
Position 4: ---
Position 5: ---
Requirements: Basic understanding of PHP, hosting with PHP/MySQL installed
Beta testers get sent the packages with the API, PEAR:
installation script, full documentation and a simple example.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how easy it is to display a tutorial (and commented, how
to insert a tutorial into the database).
http://phpwned.net/cms/index.php - Displays a tutorial
http://phpwned.net/cms/index.phps - The code, demonstrating how easy it is to display/insert a tutorial.
To display a turorial, look at the easy script bit below:
<?php
if( $tutorials->set_tutorial( intval( $_GET['id'] ) ) )
{
$tutorial = $tutorials->get_tutorial();
$tutorials->update_views();
echo 'title: ' . $tutorial['title'] . '<br />';
echo 'author: ' . $tutorial['author'] . '<br />';
echo '<br />';
echo $tutorial['content'];
}
?>
Absolutely no MySQL knowledge is required, and as you can see, people with limited
PHP understanding can easily use it.
Comments, questions and feedback are apreciated.
If you would like to participate, send me a PM.
(I was not sure in which forum this belonged, so I posted it here)
