When we reach his home in Kandukur village in Andhra Pradesh, 21-year-old Nukathoti Kondaiah serves us bottled mineral water, freshly cut fruit and cold drinks in plastic cups. That may not seem such a big deal but earlier in the day Kondaiah had trudged a couple of hours in the sweltering heat to the nearest grocery store to buy these luxuries. Next month he will begin work with Wipro as a trainee in its software department, taking his mentally-challenged mother with him for treatment. We talk under the shade of a banyan tree surrounded by a crowd of villagers who treat Kondaiah like a celebrity. An eight-year-old fidgeting with the photographer's camera says he'd like to be Kondaiah when he grows up. The odds couldn't have been less in his favour when the teenager's father died young, followed as suddenly by the deaths of his siblings. "She went mad," he says of his mother's ill-health, "I'm her only hope." Life wasn't ki...

Creating an Ajax Process Using PHP and Oracle by Larry Ullman Use the power of JavaScript to add seamless database interactions to your Web pages. Published February 2007 For some time now, Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), has been all the rage in the Web development world. Coming to the forefront with some of Google's features (Suggest, Maps, Gmail, and so on), Ajax performs server requests without the user having to submit a form or click on a link. In other words, the Web browser can make the server request, and handle the response, without the user doing anything or even knowing that this is happening. The immediacy that Ajax brings is not only a great convenience, but it can also be downright cool. In this recipe, I discuss all the code necessary to use Ajax to go from a simple Web page to a JavaScript function to an XMLHttpRequest to a PHP script and, finally, to an Oracle database. Along with the code, I do talk about the individual pieces with r...
