PHP Login System with Admin Features
Introduction I wrote the popular evolt.org tutorial PHP Login Script with Remember Me Feature mainly as an introduction to user sessions and cookies in PHP. Since it was created as a learning tool, many advanced features were left out of the script. By popular demand, I have written and am presenting here a complete Login System, with all the features that were left out of the first script, that can be easily integrated into any website.
Easy Random CSS Backgrounds

Phaser with RequireJS and Bower
Not sure how much use this will be to anyone, but I thought I would share it all the same… I recently found myself working with Phaser without the comforts of my friend TypeScript.

I have used MAMP for javascript game development for a few years, and it has worked fine except for a few issues I find cumbersome, like updating MAMP. I wanted to see if I would benefit from switching to Node.js and use Grunt to automate some of the more tedious tasks I usually do manually. It turned out I was right.
PHP and XML: Parsing RSS 1.0
XML is springing up all over the Internet as a means to create standard data formats for the exchange of information between systems, irrelevant of their platform or technology. As you may already know, XML allows you to define your own custom markup languages similar to HTML and suited to whatever data you need to represent.

In this article, we’ll learn how to use PHP to read an XML document and display the data it contains as a Web page.

You can download the Phaser Project Template from my Github repo here. What is the Phaser Project Template?
