PHP Tips and Tricks

1. When you are looking for information about a specific PHP function, please go to http://php.net/. For example: Http://php.net/join. This will take you directly to the correct location in the online manual on one server around your location.

2. Try this: Pear install APC. The Pear command is a useful installer that can even be used to install PHP extensions written in C. In this case, it installs the APC opcode cache extension.

3. Use the opcode cache to improve performance.

4. There are no errors in mixing OOP and process code in PHP. Use the object when the object is meaningful, and the rest to switch to the process.

5. Expanding PHP with your own custom C or C extensions is easier than you might think. See the README in the PHP source code version. Ext_skel.

6. The echo <<<eob syntax is useful for outputting text blocks with full $variable substitution, and eliminates the need to avoid anything. EOB;

7. Path_info is great! Use it to clear the ugly URL.

8. Use a recording program, pear install APD.

9. Database abstraction is mostly a fictional story. There is nothing wrong with a direct database call, which takes advantage of all the tricks and tricks you must provide for the database you choose to achieve the highest possible performance.

10. Maintain the use of your basic technology and build simple chunks of the program. Use a wireless path WEB server to avoid complex frameworks and abstraction layers, giving you the opportunity to track and debug any problems that may arise. Solving Web problems is simple; don't try to make it difficult.
