I have for
the longest time been to compose an article this way, since I consider
everything the time - what 10 things would I regard the most critical to pass
on to another person?
1) Go OOP
On the off
chance that you have not yet entered the domain of Object Oriented Programming,
at that point you are off guard, and you are falling behind quick.
OOP is
basically a technique for programming with the utilization of classes, or
Objects, which entwine like things, evacuate the requirement for reiteration of
code and play out the fundamental errands of generation just.
2) Stay Away
from Anything Ending With _once()
We as a
whole realize that incorporate() essentially gives us a notice on the off
chance that it comes up short, while require() murders the content with a
deadly mistake when it falls flat.
What we keep
in mind is that include_once() and require_once() is to a great degree hard on
server assets. There is nothing we can do about it, it's the way PHP is set up.
3) Develop
With Error Reporting On
The main
thing you do when beginning another task is to turn mistake answering to E_ALL,
and you should just turn it off ten seconds previously going to generation mode
4) Use A
Framework If You Need One
Ok, so you
shouldn't use a framework because he could quite conclusively prove that a
framework is much slower than normal PHP code when it
came to printing a simple "Hello World" application.
Two things
to mention here though: you are not Rasmus Lerdorf and I bet you won't be
building a "Hello World" application every time you program
something.
5) Use PHP's
Inbuilt Functions
Ok, you want
to count the amount of keys in an array? You can loop through the array and
simply increment a value for each iteration, right. PHP has many
built-in functions that can do what you need them to, so check out the manual
to make sure you are doing it in the best way possible.
6) Protect
Your Database
The best and
safest way is to use mysql_real_escape_string() for all database before it is
added to the database. This function makes all strings safe in terms of quotes
and other functions that can harm your database or contain malicious code, so
use it to be sure you have taken the first step against protection of your data
7) Use POST
Not GET
Ok, this
isn't always possible, but when its really not necessary, don't use GET, use
POST. The reason is simple - GET is simple to emulate, all I need to do is add
something to my address bar and I can hack your project.
8) Draw
Before You Code
A good
practice to get into is to wireframe your projects, even if you are just
scribbling a few notes on a piece of paper. It is very important to actually
give the mechanics of you application some thought before sitting down to start
coding.
9)
Understand Your Project
A craftsman
can't draw something that he has not seen some time recently. An artist can't
sing a tune that he has not heard some time recently. You can't code an
undertaking that you don't completely get it. On the off chance that you don't
see precisely what it needs to do, and how it needs to it, you can't
manufacture it.
10) Code
On the off
chance that I could make them thing through to anybody perusing this, this is
it. You can't turn into a decent engineer by perusing. You can't turn into a
decent engineer by watching somebody create.
The
unrivaled attempted and confided in strategy, is to really compose code. Be
that as it may, - and here is the trap - fabricate genuine articles! Try not to
go and code something that you have no enthusiasm for, or will never utilize.
Assemble what you like, and you will be energized and intrigued by it, and you
will learn. At that point, make it magnificent, expand upon it, and improve it.
