Website Development

The world of web hosting can be a bit overwhelming. Website hosting companies almost scream about their fat hosting packages on their sites inorder to get people to spend money on hosting. But what is it that you really need to host a blog?

It is often neccessary for a web master to transfer files from one site to another. Whether it be to install open source software or to move a site, the ability to transfer a file directly from one web server to another can be a real time saver.

It will display a form in which you can enter the details of the source file and server and it will download the file directly from the source file server onto your server.

Please note that the minimum offer is US$150.00.

A good website is easy to navigate from one page to the next and an easy to navigate website will make the following clear to the user:

• Which page he is currently viewing, i.e. where he currently "is" in your website
• What pages he can view

Furthermore, you want to be able to save time and effort in coding your website while also ensuring that your site can be easily modified and updated.This is an ideal situation in which to use PHP server side scripting to dynamically generate the links.

In this post I present code that will generate links grouped under different sub-headings. It will apply a special style to the navigation bar entry for the page that the user is currently viewing.
