Precautions Before Deploying PHP Application In PHP Development part 1

PHP is not new web development language so it is insane to say that its security measures are not adequate. Though it is highly flexible language its back-to-back versions have gotten lots of improvements in sense of security measures. Since PHP development has yielded myriads of websites for the web it is likely that the PHP developers who are working on PHP web development might have not enough knowledge of have good coding practices that ensure the enough coding steps to beat the malicious attackers. Therefore, today we will explore the precautions before deploying PHP application at a glance.

In many cases PHP programmers have to installed some sorts of PHP scripts from the 3^rd party applications since PHP is flexible enough to allow all sorts of integrations. In due course, PHP developers save setup scripts on the working directories and this script allows working components installation also allows the access for the malicious users. Perhaps due to this reason all third party packages providers give instructions to remove the setup scripts immediately accomplishment of installation process. This is good way to save our PHP application from the unscrupulous users.

If any PHP web programmer wishes to keep that script she used to create an .htaccess file to control the administration directories. This way if any unauthorized user attempts to access the protected directories has to pass through the validation process giving username and passward that stored in the password file. Something similar may happens in case of ‘include’ file which we   use in many parts of the PHP application. This is called include file because it has directives that assimilate the code of individual file into that of originating page. If your include file is simple than no problem but if consists of some sensitive data like usernames and passwords or some database access keys we have take enough care to prevent that and there is only secure way that you should remove the .inc extension and convert it into .php extension so PHP engines will process the file and prevent unauthorized access.

Conclusion :-

PHP is highly flexible web development language and this flexibility causes many problems as far as security is concern. In due course if we take some precautions before deploying PHP application we can save future damages with least efforts.

CakePHP Development for CMS

Among the plenty of PHP frameworks CakePHP applaud the most by web developers as well as clients for its performance and cost-effectiveness. However, when you go for CakePHP development you have to face some difficulties if your project is big with lots of features and you have to take help of Zend framework, but this happens in very rare cases since the majority of PHP web development projects come from medium and small businesses and CakePHP web development is the best option for them.

Another class of users who also can get benefits of CakePHP programming is the content management system users and they are of plenty of types so if we consider this vast user base CakePHP website development has bright future. Therefore, let’s exploit the contribution of CakePHP web app development in creation of excellent CMS.

There is a free CMS that is the product of CakePHP web programming and it is OvenCMS. In this CakePHP programming CakePHP developers have used jQuery and JavaScript libraries so this CMS is fantastic and most suitable for small websites. It has extensive plug-ins so we can extend its functionality further. The same product is Wildflower and also for free.

If you think of internationalization and want to add multilingual CMS you have best option and that is Croogo this CMS is developed by CakePHP developers using MVC framework so you can use it extensively for blog, node and page. Moreover, you can categories content with Taxonomy and use its WYSIWG editor to do your work rapidly and accurately without any coding.

If you are going to create lightweight CMS using CakePHP web apps programming your product will be like CupCake CMS that is design oriented and for quick deployment. This is a product for small to medium sites with user-friendly interface.

If your clients require fat and versatile CMS with your CakePHP development you can go for Termite CMS so your clients will handle multiple websites. If you want to handle portfolio sites Simpleflan is solution of CakePHP programming in CakePHP 1.2 with clean and functional interface.

If you look for effective and modern programming your Cake PHP web developers should have knowledge of creating Cherryfish like CMS that is a modular CMS and using ExtJS.

Conclusion :-

Demand of various level of CMS is high and CakePHP development companies are getting many inquiries in this regard so here we have taken a brief reviews of CakePHP based CMS used for various needs.

Custom PHP Application—Quickly Modify PHP setting

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.

 

PHP Web Development—Learning PHP Part 4

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.

 

iOS Application Development—Prototyping with Adobe Fireworks & TAP Part 2

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.

iPhone Apps Development—Setup Your App Part 7

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.

CakePHP Development—For Rapid Development

PHP is highly flexible language and this flexibility poses problems like haphazard codes and clutters in coding therefore application becomes instable and sometime difficult to debugging. In order to avoid this situation experts have developed the frameworks which organize the codes and even reduce the codes itself so rapid development becomes a reality.  CakePHP development is one of the frameworks which solved this issue.

CakePHP is based on MVC pattern which categorized the code in three parts including view, model and controller this allow web developers and web designers to work simultaneously on the same project so work becomes rapid and take very few time for the CakePHP Development. This way you not only reduce the work time but also increase the efficiency of the coding so coding becomes concise, clear and easy to understand. A rapid development of CakePHP project means saving in substantial amount of the project and this reduce the overall development cost and your clients can withstand in the competition as it can reach at the market as early as possible and can reaps the benefits of early market.

There are plenty of PHP frameworks available in the market but CakePHP development is the best one and proven technology in the market. It organize your code structure and reduce the clutter in the code so your code becomes clean and transparent so developers at maintenance can easily follow your code and do maintenance effectively. In short, use CakePHP development for rapid and quality development of your PHP project.
