Many times we require some tweaks in the PHP setting particularly during custom PHP application development and in most cases we do that by modifying the .htacees file but when PHP is running in CGI module we can do that and we have to take another route to make PHP setting. At this juncture php.ini files can help you but there is a big restriction that php.ini files only work on a per folder basis, so in other words if we want to make any modification in PHP setting during  custom PHP application development we have to decide where we want to apply modification and in which folders then you have to place a separate php.ini files in each folder.

That is good that you need to make modification in a few countable folders so you can manually place the php.ini files in each folder but what about for a big custom PHP application development project where modification is essential in numbers of folders and if go through manual placements you can’t place such vast numbers of files in their respective folders so we have to take help of some automated  scrip that allows you make modification in such large numbers of folders. Luckily we have a workaround and that can be applied on most of the applications.

Here you need not to copy php.ini files recursively but you can specify the needed value only once. This magic can happens when you allow remote file inclusion with a PHP setting like allow_url_include and you have probabilities of two ways, one you can specify it in may php.ini files in all needed directories and second is that you have to specify it in the main configuration.php file with a function ini_set and this configuration file would be included in your PHP application so it affect the all directories at a time in custom PHP application development.

 

in this series of posts for PHP web development we are exploring PHP coding techniques step by step to get clear and righteous coding practice so now we will go further in this way.

In any PHP web development programming variable is something that represent another value. For instance you say “I like about” then you need to give numbers or other things that you like and this value you put for a sentence or word is called the variable. Here in our example like is a word and we can put any numbers or things as its value like 1-2-3. When you write the sentence to set its value you have to put that variable or sentence in quotation mark and use semicolon to separate lines or sentences or statements.

When you put the value that is your another variable is called the integer and integer is never placed in quotation mark so you can differentiate variable from integer. If you want to print more than one variable in a line you can use period. You can print variable or integer within the same line under the quotation mark using$ sign as all integer are using $ sign at the beginning. You can use space before and after period that separating two variables. You can set another value for a variable to a string or numeric value. String value should be put in quotation mark but numeric values are not. Of course you can put an equation instead of a static number during PHP web development.

 

In usual scenario any big or small iOS application development team consists of some various designers creates storyboard on whiteboard and then transfer these sketches to the screen where other members think over it and iterate and refined over and over till they satisfy and then documented it to hand over to the clients as reference. Once a big idea is taking place interactive designers are transfer it on the Adobe Fireworks and detailed addition begins there.

It has been shown that many iOS application development companies are using OmniGraffle or Visio while many prefer Photoshop, but there are some distinct advantages using Adobe Fireworks as it is highly collaborative tool so we can pass our work to other team members and use it back and forth to solve the problems as a team. As Adobe Fireworks does everything faster we can save lots time and efforts in due courses because we don’t have to recreate elements or revisit the work against the other’s files. This way we can greatly reduce the mistakes in designing because we don’t have to manage the multiple versions of the design files.

As stated earlier many use pen and paper to create storyboards but if we use Adobe Fireworks we can do this with an ease and speed. We can create sketchy storyboard relying on the States panel to represent each state in the storyboard scenario. Here layers, shared across states and symbols to reuse screen elements avoiding the repeated drawing frequently during iOS application development.

As we have discussed about the setup of the iPhone apps development project since the beginning of the development process in previous posts and in last post we have discussed about the debugging and memory leakage during testing phase. Now in this part we will go ahead and see the iPhone application process with our lenses.

It is fact that we meet the big or small errors during development and the complex project of iPhone apps development may prone to more mistakes than we assume so don’t intimidate yourself and try constantly to find out the place where you had committed a mistake by commenting the important parts of the code and run frequently with some corrections. Still you can’t get expected success you can go to Google and find out the possible solutions suggested by experienced coders. You can use discussion forums, Apple forum and blog and other developer community resources where you might get an entire article revealing the same mistakes you had done in your coding and its possible solutions in depth.

It is true the you are not alone on this planet that face such problems as there are other developers who are passing through the same experiences and would like to guide others willingly without any charges so take benefits of them and be ready to help others when you encounter such novice developers who seek your help. This the way to spread the true knowledge and keep the march of the humankind ahead on the path of evolution.

Last week Apple has declare a facility for iPad app development companies and the end users of the App store in form of Vanity App store link during its Super Bowl event. Basically this is a customizable link that ease to find out and identify a desired app in App store without going to rigorous search, in this you have to type the web URL for App store.com and next the app name that you want. This way you will eliminate the search and get instant information whatever you want.

You might ask that what has to do with iPad app development companies for this as this is for users only. Right but you can create user-friendly and memorable URL for your consumers just like you do in case of website so you will be easy accessible for the new class of users who can sort your app out from the garbage of App store. In another sense this is a great marketing tool so this vanity app store link is desirable for iPad app development companies.

With this vanity link you can build your brand and brand recognition as well as brand awareness among the vast audience of the iOS devices users. Moreover, you can get company vanity link with that you can see list of all apps that are created that particular iPad app development company so company get good exposure for other apps along with the desired apps for the vast audience. Now finding the similar apps is easy so that will prove a good promotion for a reputed company. This not only bring the new customers but also bring older ones and show good performance with repeat sale.
