I’ve just finished creating my first screencast tutorial!

This Delphi for PHP tutorial shows you step by step how to create a Delphi for PHP web application to update a MySQL database using AJAX.

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) is built around the XMLHTTP Request Object (XHR) which forms part of the XML Document Management Model (XML DOM). This object is the core of the Ajax model and it allows JavaScript to access either XML or XHTML documents. The advantage of this model is that it allows HTTP requests to be made to the server WITHOUT refreshing the web page.

I had a lot of problems creating the tutorial with older versions of the VCL for PHP …. The version you need to use is version 65.

This version has fixed some renderer problems with the DBGrid component which this tutorial uses. To get this latest version of the VCL click here.

Check it out and let me know what you think?

Delphi for PHP comes with an example web application showing you how to use Google Maps in your projects. Unfortunately this web application does not work straight out of the box. You have to install the Google Components Package first.

To do this, go into the Installed Packages dialog box which is found by going to Component->Packages… on the main menu. Click on the Add button and locate the file called \CodeGear\Delphi for PHP\1.0\vcl\google\google.package.php :

When you have clicked on the Open button, you should see the Google Components package listed in the Installed Packages dialog box like so:

When you have done this you can open up the test Google Maps PHP file which is located at this location: \CodeGear\Delphi for PHP\1.0\vcl\google\maps\test\testmaps.php

.. And that’s it, the test application for Google Maps should be up and running. Have fun with it!!
