Kae Verens

Kae Verens is an owner manager of the web-development company Webworks.ie and is currently secretary of the Irish PHP Users Group. He has been writing in JavaScript since the mid 90s, and in PHP since the late 90s. Kae is the creator of the file management system KFM, the CMS WebME (used by Webworks.ie for over 200 separate clients), and the author of the Packt book jQuery 1.3 with PHP.

Although jQuery 1.4 was recently released, this book and it’s examples still serve as solid learning tools.

I would recommend this book to every developer who is still wondering which JS framework he should use and to everyone who want to learn how to use Ajax in your application.

Errata

- 4 submitted: last submission 04 Jan 2012

Errata type: Technical/typo | Page number: 84

f(!(include $fn))$errors[]=$hname.' Should be if(!(include $fn))$errors[]=$hname.' '

Errata type: Code | Page number: 38

After the line "var str=$(this).html();", add the following line:

this.originalHTML=str;

Page 26 | Errata type: Code

The last <option> tag is never closed in the echo statement. Change the second to last line from:

'</select>';
to:
'</option></select>;

Page 30 | Errata type: Code

The echo statement returns invalidly formatted json, as such the example will not work as written. All json strings need to be encapsulated by double quotes (see requirements for json string at https://www.json.org/) instead of single quotes. It might be more clear to replace this text with something that uses json_encode()

$id=(int)@$_REQUEST['id'];
$success = ( !($id%2) );
$response = compact('id', 'success');
if(!$success) { $response['error'] = 'Could not delete subscriber'; }
echo json_encode($response);

In Detail

To make PHP applications that respond quickly, avoid unnecessary page reloads, and provide great user interfaces, often requires complex JavaScript techniques and even then, if you get that far, they might not even work across different browsers! With jQuery, you can use one of the most popular JavaScript libraries, forget about cross-browser issues, and simplify the creation of very powerful and responsive interfaces – all with the minimum of code.
This is the first book in the market that will ease the server-side PHP coder into the client-side world of the popular jQuery JavaScript library.

This book will show you how to use jQuery to enhance your PHP applications, with many examples using jQuery's user interface library jQuery UI, and other examples using popular jQuery plugins. It will help you to add exciting user interface features to liven up your PHP applications without having to become a master of client-side JavaScript.

This book will teach you how to use jQuery to create some really stunning effects, but without you needing to have in-depth knowledge of how jQuery works. It provides you with everything you need to build practical user interfaces for everything from graphics manipulation to drag-and-drop to data searching, and much more. The book also provides practical demonstrations of PHP and jQuery and explains those examples, rather than starting from how JavaScript works and how it is different from PHP.

By the end of this book, you should be able to take any PHP application you have written, and transform it into a responsive, user-friendly interface, with capabilities you would not have dreamed of being able to achieve, all in just a few lines of JavaScript.

A practical guide for building responsive user interfaces for your web site's PHP applications, using jQuery, jQuery UI, and jQuery plugins

Approach

This book takes a practical approach to integrating PHP and jQuery, showing examples of every point discussed. All examples are written such that you should be able to copy out the code into your own projects and see immediate results, no matter what your experience with JavaScript. You will find projects developed within a chapter, building them up step-by-step, describing the process and thought that goes into it. Minimal requirements are needed on the server-side, so the examples should work with any setup.

Who this book is for

This book is for PHP application developers who want to improve their user interfaces through jQuery's capabilities and responsiveness. Whether you are familiar with jQuery or have only dabbled a little with JavaScript, this book will provide you with numerous practical examples of how to improve your application.
