Online PHP Programming Training

PHP is acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.

PHP is a free, open source server side scripting language that is used to design the web sites or web based software applications. We can create dynamic content that interact with database. It is used to manage dynamic content, database, accessing cookies, session tracking, e-commerce websites.

Valuation, Hadoop, Excel, Mobile Apps, Web Development & many more.

Unlike other scripting languages like HTML and pearl, PHP scripts are executed on server and the final output is deployed on the web browser in HTML format. PHP files have file extensions like “.php”, “.php3″.

PHP scripting language is used in web development. The additional feature of PHP is that it can be mixed into HTML tags. PHP supports many databases such as MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Sybase, etc., thus making it very strong and effective. It is also compatible with many servers such as Apache, IIS, etc. Thus it makes most widely used server side scripting language among the other.

In Today’s date, more than 240 million websites have installed PHP and 2.1 million web servers supports PHP language. Originally PHP is created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994. PHP is free software released with PHP license. PHP is widely portable and can be deployed on most of web servers on almost every operating system and platform, free of charges.

There are three main areas where PHP scripts are used:

  • Server-side scripting:

This is mainly used for web sites and web applications where you can access the PHP program output with a web browser through the server.

  • Command line scripting:

You can make PHP scripts to run without any server or browser. You use only PHP parser to use it in this way.

  • Desktop application:

PHP is not probably very best language to create desktop based application but with the help of PHP-GTK we can write such programs.

Features of PHP:-

  • Cookies:

PHP supports HTTP Cookies. Cookies are used to store data on user’s browser and thus to tracking or identifying the user.

  • Sessions:

This feature is used to track the particular user/site interactions with unparalleled efficiency and ease.

  • HTTP Authentication:

This is used to send pop-up message on user browser to authenticate Username/password.

  • Dealing with XForms:

The XForm is encoded in such a way that data can be submitted as XML.

  • Handling file upload:

PHP script can be used to upload a file on server. Initially the file is uploaded into temporary directory and then it is relocated to destination by PHP script.

  • Command line usage:

Command line scripts do not have execution time limit so that they can run as long as they can until and unless the server is shut down. This helps to accomplish many time consuming task like transferring files to other server, taking backup of entire website and database and many more.

  • Connection handling:

PHP connections are maintained in four states. When PHP script is running normally then it is in a NORMAL state but if the remote client disconnected the state changes to ABORTED state.

  • Persistent Database connections:

Persistent Connections are link which do not close even after execution of a script. We can connect to the database like SQL.

  • Safe mode:

In PHP, safe mode is used to solve the shared-server security problem.

  • DTrace Dynamic Tracing:

DTrace can track user program execution and operating system behavior. It displays the argument value and performance statistics.

  • Garbage Collection:

It is used to release the unwanted resources.

WHY you should do PHP Programming Training?

Using PHP, you can do things like create login pages, check details from a form, create forums, picture galleries, surveys, and a whole lot more. PHP can handle forms, access cookies, encrypt data, restrict user from some pages of your website. You can add, delete, and modify elements in your database.

You don’t need to know any of these to make a start on PHP.There course will teach to curve for all PHP Frameworks. But once you get to about it, you will enjoy the benefits of rapid application development.

You have to write less code, which means you will spend less time on typing. You don’t have to rely on 3rd party libraries all the time for every new project, because most of them will come with the default framework install.

Since you are coding it in more organized way, it will be very easy to debug, maintain code, and make changes to existing code.

If you’ve come across a web page that ends in PHP, then the author has written some programming code to liven up the plain, old HTML. That’s because the PHP doesn’t get executed on your computer, but on the computer you requested the page from. The resultant output will be displayed in your web browser. There are other scripting languages like ASP, Python and Perl. PHP is very easy to get started even without any coding knowledge. By learning a few simple coding, you are able to do a lot of things on your own website. We assume that you have no programming experience at all and we will start from zero level.

In PHP you will get predefined input and output filtering functions to protect your website against certain attacks.

If you are using these functions you may get tired and forget about them every once in a while.

With a PHP framework, most of the work is done for you automatically. For example in Code Igniter:

  • Any value passed to database object gets filtered against SQL injection attacks.
  • The html generating functions like, form helpers and URL helpers filter the output automatically.
  • The user input is get filtered against XSS attacks.
  • Cookies are automatically encrypted only for changing a config option

In this course, you will explore the PHP foundation for developing web pages, websites, and content in general. This course will walk you through the basic understanding of PHP and then we apply what we have learned in order to make a dynamic web page.

Job Offers: There are more job opportunities for PHP programmers. After getting training in PHP, Students have better job option with handsome salary.

Advantages of PHP:

User Friendly

Extensions

Being an open source language, a large number of libraries and extensions, to extend its core functionalities, are available for download. The source code of PHP can be changed and we can make many other changes accordingly which increases the extensibility of that code.

Automatically Refreshes

Nowadays developing dynamic websites are in the huge demand due to its specific characteristics like it automatically refreshes and we do not need to make many changes manually.

Community Support

A very huge advantage of PHP language is its community. If you are searching a particular script which another user has already created. Check within the PHP community for availability. Likewise, if you have created a function and you want to share your code with others you can post it for them.

Other Tools

If you need to access other web based tools like Google maps or any other tool, PHP makes it easy for you to access it.
