In two new tutorials from DotGeek.org this morning, they cover ground in CSS & PHP as well as some simple functions for helping you store and retrieve information from flat files.

The first tutorial, CSS & PHP shows you how to infuse CSS with PHP and a MySQL database. With the example of "farkisms" (from Fark.com), he shows you how to create dynamic CSS with data from a MySQL database. Simple enough, especially when you consider that when you need to update the site, all you need to do is change the database.

In the second piece, Hashing Your Way To Success, the author introduces you to the concept of hashing your files with functions to automatically drop them into the filesystem where they need to be. They structure the files with a datanumbernumber structure, making it quick and easy for any software to find a given file.
