Personally, I do my PHP development work with the help of Aptana and Notepad++. I love the speed of Notepad++ and the feature set of Aptana. Both are great and feature full PHP editors, which satisfy my needs to the fullest.
How about you?

The idea behind the code is that even numbers have zero reminder when divided by 2, while odd numbers have 1 as a reminder after division by 2. For this I'll use PHP modulus operator (%).
<?php
if ($number % 2 == 0)
{
echo "even";
}
else
{
echo "odd";
}
?>Here is some basic tutorial on how to generate a random number in PHP.
Random numbers in PHP are generated using the rand() function. Let's write some code that will generate a random number between 1 and 10.
<?php
echo rand(1, 10);
?>If you need more than one random number generated, use rand() function in a loop. Here is a code for generating three random numbers between 10 and 20.
<?php
for ($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++)
{
echo rand(10, 20) . " ";

?>here is a tutorial on how to make a password protected page
demo: http://joeyelectric.com/demos/password.php
=========================================
In this tutorial we will use the crypt(); command to encrypt our passwords
files?
-password.php
==========================================
First open a new document in a text editor I use Notepad ++ (Free Opensource text editor)
Now Put this code in their
<html>
<head>
<title> Password Test </title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h1> Password Test </h1>
</body>
</html>Next we will create the form:
you will notice that for the action="" we have used "<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" this will make it so that all the form is processed in password.php
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<input type="text" name="password">
<input type="submit" name="enter" value="submit">
</form>now we will add the functions to the script
<?php
if(isset($_GET['enter'])){
$user_input = $_POST['password']; //This is the password the user typed
$user_input_crypt = crypt($user_input); //This will encrypt the password
$password = crypt('mypassword'); //This is the actual password before it is encrypted about to be encrypted
if (crypt($user_input, $password) == $password) { // This determines whether the passwords match or not
echo "<font color='green'>Correct Password!</font>"; // if the password is correct this is displayed
} else {
echo "<font color='red'>Incorrect Password!</font><br><br>";
echo "The Password you typed came back as: $user_input_crypt <br> it should have been: $password"; // if not this is displayed
}
} else {
$password = crypt('sc55207');
?>Now here is the code all put together:
<html>
<head>
<title> Password Test </title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h1> Password Test </h1>
<?php
if(isset($_GET['enter'])){
$user_input = $_POST['password'];
$user_input_crypt = crypt($user_input);
$password = crypt('sc55207');
if (crypt($user_input, $password) == $password) {
echo "<font color='green'>Correct Password!</font>";
} else {
echo "<font color='red'>Incorrect Password!</font><br><br>";
echo "The Password you typed came back as: $user_input_crypt <br> it should have been: $password";
}
} else {
$password = crypt('sc55207');
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<input type="text" name="password">
<input type="submit" name="enter" value="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
