2 Thumbs Up for A/R/T's "Visual Rating System" article.
php|architect magazine has recently launched a new web property, ART, The Article Repository and Marcus Whitney, star of web and posdcasts, is the editor. Their latest article, Writing an AJAX-based Visual Rating System with PHP, written by Marco Tabini, is a good one.
The article details (with lots of cool code samples) a method for developers to write the AJAX and PHP code necessary to implement a voting system. Marco, walks you though the concepts and code necessary to add a little of the “Ohh-Ahhh factor” to any PHP based web site. His introduction pretty much sums things up so instead of blathering on, I’ll just cut-n-paste.
AJAX and PHP give developers the perfect platform for creating interactive tools that allow users to perform non-critical tasks without having to reload a page. In this article, Marco Tabini illustrates how you can create a cool-looking rating system for virtually any web page with nothing more than a handful of PHP, a touch of Javascript and a couple of images.
Thank guys, I’ll risk a Tivo C&D by giving this one 2 thumbs up!
