Tyically asked questions tutorials

[Frederick]

I have started a few tutorials and a couple copy-n-paste items to commonly asked questions I get.

Check them out and they may help you out. I will be adding more as time goes on.

Many of the questions asked around here are already answered by the various forum FAQ lists, actually.

btw, may I suggest that your tutorials assume register_globals is off, as that is the norm?
It saves on newbies having to ask why the script doesnt work on their server, and is good practice anyway 🙂

You should also use isset() or empty() for an initial check of coming variables, rather than using something like:
if ($submit) {
straight away.

You might also want to consider formatting output statements as:

$message = "Name: {$yourName}\n"
	. "Email: {$email}\n"
	. "\n"
	. "{$content}\n";
mail($sendto, $subject, $message, "From: {$email}");

or

$message = "Name: " . $yourName . "\n"
	. "Email: " . $email . "\n"
	. "\n"
	. $content . "\n";
mail($sendto, $subject, $message, "From: " . $email);

though this would really be personal preference.
