When working with XML-based applications, developers often find themselves facing the requirement to generate XML-encoded data structures on the fly. Examples of this include an XML order template based on user input in a Web form, or an XML representation of a server request or client response based on run-time parameters.
You would learn basics of XML and how to format XML documents. Useful code snippets for your future programming.
Another post on Mind Tree about running XPath queries in PHP. Author describes what is XPath and where is used. In article you also find good examples of code.

Very good article of using cookies with domains including www and without it. Why it is important to use or not to use cookies, and some grate tips you would find in this post.
One of Yahoo’s performance rules says: Use cookie-free domains for static components. This is good because the server has no use for cookie information when serving a JPEG or another static component, so all this cookie information creates network traffic for no reason.
Like usually good article with some examples and code snippets.

Brian Moon posted new article how to deal with session cookies. Sometimes there is problems with session cookie refresh. Brian has great solution for this situation.
I have always had an issue with PHP Sessions. Albeit, a lot of my issues are now invalid. When they were first implemented, they had lots of issues. Then the $_SESSION variable came to exist and it was better. Then memcached came to exist and you could store sessions there. That was better. But, still, after all this time, there is one issue that still bugs me.
Looks like all my problems with session cookie diapered with Brian provided code snippet.
