This is a common method for web comics sites, that have an archive of images. Instead of creating a new HTML page for each image, one PHP page changes the current image and href links based on a PHP variable. 42:30 till the end, teaches how to build a simple form and PHP submission script. This will mail the contents of the form to an email address. A host to upload to is required for testing the PHP files, but you do not need access to a database.

Using an Entrance Page to a site to gather user info (like what Country they are from) Then diverts them to a unique page or a common page that uses a different external css file based on their info. This uses CSS and PHP. This could also be used for triggering randomly different page styles. 23:00 : 45:00 programming a PHP based client login. Note this doesn?t make use of a database. You would enter username and password info for a particular client into a PHP file, which would then be checked against everytime the client went to login. This is a simplistic login, but good for web developers looking to give their clients hidden preview pages to look at work. PHP session variables are also taught. 45:00 to 57:00 javascript Examples.
