Building An Expanding DHTML Menu With CSS and JavaScript
Today I am going to show you the different parts that make up a dropdown vertical menu for your website. This is not like your normal dropdown menu, which appears at the top of your content, however -- these menus expand and remain visible until they are collapsed with the click of a mouse. The menu content actually expands with your page content, pushing the rest of whatever is below it down - so it can actually be used for more than just a menu.

Hiveminds has published a new tutorial today that looks at bridging the gap between Java and PHP by allowing the execution of Java jar files from within PHP.

WebSite Goodies: Link Building the Right Way
It began with Google. Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the company's founders, decided to build a search engine which didn't rank pages primarily by keyword density like their competition. Early search engines were easy to fool, fill your page with the same phrase over and over and you'd appear near the top of search results for that phrase. Google was different. It let the web itself tell their search engine what pages were about and which were most important. This process is what they called PageRank, and works by analyzing the incoming links to each page.
Developer.com: Developing a Ajax-driven Shopping Cart with PHP and Prototype
On Developer.com, Jason Gilmore has posted This new tutorial that steps you through the creation of an ajax-enabled shopping cart that combines PHP and Prototype.
In the latest installment of this ongoing PHP series, I'll show you how to build a shopping cart using PHP, session handling, and the Prototype JavaScript library (introduced in an earlier installment). The cart allows users to add and delete products from the cart, as well as change cart quantities. And of course, the interaction is seemingly instantaneous, allowing for the user to continue shopping without waiting for the page to reload.
He creates the database table first (bottom up approach), then moves to the PHP code to handle the request/responses for the shopping cart, and with a little bit of session magic to connect the cart to the user and the Prototype tossed in, the cart is complete.
