March 2006 issue of the DMXzone e-magazine released

This month two popular topics will be covered: we’ll show you how to make amazing applications in PHP and we teach you the essentials about Fireworks and Masking.

We begin with teaching you how to create a simple e-mail form in PHP. Why? The answer is easy, because you want your site's visitors to be able to contact you, but you don’t want to be bothered with endless spam messages. After that we’ll show you how to create a simple calendar in PHP. This calendar uses a number of useful programming techniques, which can be utilised in many other areas as well. The next tutorial teaches you how to build a dynamically generated Photo gallery using PHP. The necessary information such as searchable keywords are stored in a database. In the final PHP article we’ll be taking a look at creating a log in system using PHP Server Behaviours. Our system will provide an admin as well as the log in system itself.

Then it’s time for Fireworks to kick in. This time we’ll start with showing you how to use masks. They make it easy to cut out or hide away parts of your work, without having to destroy the original image. The second Fireworks article teaches you to simulate a mask without the drawbacks associated with masks.

Next to a treasure of tutorials and information we have a great interview with design guru Danny Franzreb.

February 2006 issue of the DMXzone e-magazine released

We thought you’d like some hot topics for these cold winter months so we took our most popular articles and lined them up for this month’s edition.

We’ll show you how to create menus for your websites and applications. We start of with an article on how to create a simple DHTML Flyout menu. Then we move on to drop down menus with standards where we show you how to create efficient code using the DOM and CSS.

After that we’ll move on to Flash and show you how to create a menu bar in Flash. And we’ll take you through the gentle art of creating popup menus in Flash. We’ll not only look at how you can build static menus for your common tasks, but how to build the menu dynamically from an XML document. Both articles use the components in Flash to provide a quick and easy way to add your navigation.

Our second theme gets you started with ColdFusion. First we explain how to install ColdFusion and give you advice on basic testing by creating a sample page with basic tags and functions. After that we’re going to show you how to setup up a database for and how to query that database to display data. 

Next to a treasure of tutorials and information we have a great interview with interactive motion Guru Craig Swann.
