Eating a balanced meal is key to having a healthy body. It helps you to stay strong and keep your immune system healthy. It can also help you to ward off health ailments that could hinder your body.

Along with exercise, it’s important that you eat healthy and be sure to eat your three main meals each day. It’s also important that you eat small meals in between. You should eat at least three to four of them.

This will help your metabolism and also set you straight on getting enough nutrition in your body. Also, make sure that you don’t overeat during meals, whether they’re the main ones or the small ones. Even with the main meals, you should be cautious of your portions.

Don’t even think about engaging in one of those crazy diets. You may quickly lose the weight with a crash diet, but it will hurt you in the long run. Not only will it mess up your immune system, but when you go back to eating normally, you will gain the weight back quickly. It’s imperative that you eat meals that contain plenty of nutrients.

Eating smaller meals can help you to keep your blood sugar level stabilized. Try not to consume foods that contain a lot of sugar, sodium or saturated fats. For breakfast, you can eat carbohydrates. You can also incorporate fiber during breakfast. A good choice would be a bowl of oatmeal. Be sure to include protein for your muscles.

For dinner, eat some raw vegetables with your main meal. You can also do this if you are dining out. Having a salad provides you with plenty of fiber. Fiber is important for your body because it helps to regulate your digestive system. In addition to that, you will not feel so hungry because fiber is a filler.

Another no-no when you’re eating is binging. If you do that, you should stop right away. This eating disorder can have serious consequences if done constantly. Some of the food that you consume may not digest in your stomach properly. It sits dormant, and you increase your chance of developing colon cancer. You should learn to eat properly when you are young.

As you reach your twenties, your calcium intake should increase. Calcium is a key ingredient to prevent osteoporosis from occurring. Calcium helps to keep your bones healthy and strong.

Folic acid is another component to have in your system at a young adult age. Anything vegetable that is green and leafy is a good choice. Also, citrus fruits like oranges can provide you with plenty of folic acid. Make sure that you include other fresh fruits and vegetables in your eating plan. It’s essential that you have as many healthy foods as possible.

Now here comes the fun part or I should say fun part(s). In this section we are going to focus on advertising the web site you set up and in the next section, we will focus on advertising your free course.

The main focus of this section will be on reciprocal linking, IE swapping links with other sites in your market.

Reciprocal linking is an important tool for web promotion. Reciprocal Linking increases the link popularity of the web sites. Sites dealing with same business can join hands to have reciprocal linkages.

Reciprocal linking is an "I'll scratch your back if you'll scratch mine" activity. Effectiveness of reciprocal linking is growing and is sought after as the new medium of advertising on the Internet. You can set up a Links Page with link access from your homepage, and promote your URL address for the specific Reciprocal Links Page in all the major search engines.

What I didn't mention in the other sections is that you will need to create a links page on your site as well. This is where you will list all the sites that link to your site.

First of all, my background and why this book came to be...

Most PHP/MySQL books on the market that I have read were not written for the novice. To be honest, even I struggled with “PHP For Dummies”, although I’ve been working with HTML and another programming environment, ColdFusion, for years. So, WHY was PHP so hard for me? I think it was a number of things, but most of all because with HTML and ColdFusion experience, I was used to a TAG based language. For everything there was a tag, like this:

...which is a ColdFusion tag to output processed information. PHP is not based on tags like that. No, PHP more resembles a (ugh) Programming Language. If you are intimidated by that, never fear - I’m going to do my best to explain the examples in plain english!

So, who is this book for?

This book is for the lonely people who can’t get a da...hold on...wrong book...”I Hate PHP” is for webmasters and designers who have always wondered what PHP could do for them; someone who wants to “do” some PHP and not outsource it. It is best to be familiar with HTML and writing / deciphering HTML code. You don’t need to be a top-notch “I do it all in Notepad” kinda person - just being able to open up a text editor and understand the code is enough. Copy / Paste knowledge is helpful too.

Unlike other PHP books on the market, we are not going to attempt to cover every single facet of the Wide World Of PHP Language. No, we want to grasp the basics of the language, get familiar with it, and get some real-life examples...not have the whole thing shoved down our throat!

You’ll find that throughout this book, my odd sense of humor may shine through a little bit. You might not find that web programming is the most exciting thing on the planet. Well, I don’t either, so I tried to make it interesting and easy to read.

More Places To Learn

At the end of the book, we’ll include some links to other websites and products that will help you on your journey to PHP mastery. We’re not endorsing them...just providing them. You must walk the path, young grasshopper.

Presentation

The examples in this book are presented in 3 levels - The Easy Stuff, The Not So Easy Stuff, and Oh Man Not MySQL!

The Easy Stuff consists of common PHP commands you can use on just about any site you build. The Not So Easy Stuff is code that is a little more difficult to grasp, but you might still want to use it. Oh Man Not MySQL! will cover - you guessed it - how to connect to a MySQL database and do basic things, like writing to it and retrieving information.

And now, without futher ado....

Covering ECHO, STRING, DATE, VARIABLES, INCLUDE, REQURE, and HEADER

Before we get into learning how to use PHP, we need to briefly explore what PHP is...but I’m not going to go into some long drawn out history of PHP and why it’s here. Also, it is good to be familiar with HTML before you proceed, as you will need to be able to copy and paste code in web pages.

In the world of the wide web, there are two general types of coding languages: “Server side” and “Client side”. This means that one type is run, or interpreted, on the web server itself, and the other is run in your web browser.

PHP is a Server side language. All of the processing is done on the web server itself, and the result is delivered to your web browser as HTML (which, by the way, is a Client side language). Your web server must also have PHP installed in order for it to work! Most web hosting providers have PHP installed, so if you are in doubt, simply ask them.

Now, Let’s Code!

We’re going to tackle the basics to start with. Getting PHP to write things to the web browser, what variables are and how to use them...examples you can use in just about every web page you create.

Let’s start with the most basic one.

The PHP Echo command

We’re going to tell PHP to output something to the screen. Keep in mind that PHP can be used in conjunction with HTML, but we are not showing the code in this example, to keep it simple:

(I hate the “Hello World” sample that every other book in the world uses, so I’m using “Creamy Bagels” instead.)
