JOBS AND PHP LIVE PROJECT TRAINING : INTRODUCTION TO PHP •
According to statistics, the popularity of PHP is increasing day by day. It is getting more powerful and stable with every update. With the current stable version (5.5 ) , php can be considered as one of the powerful scripting languages available to build web based applications.
•
One of the major factors which influenced the popularity of PHP is opensource softwares built on top of this language. Highly popular open source softwares like WordPress (used to build Content Management Systems & Blogging websites), Joomla (used to build Content Management Systems) , Magento (used to build high end shopping carts), OpenCart (used to build simple shopping carts) are all built on top of PHP with MySql as database.
•
All these open source softwares have contributed to the increase in popularity of PHP. 2

For a beginner/fresher like you, I can assure that PHP is one of the easiest language to master! PHP is basically a server side scripting language used to build web based applications. The language is well defined with thousands of library functions for each of your logical requirements. In fact, the availability of this vast library of built in functions makes PHP much simpler to handle compared to other languages. This advantage stands as a drawback for PHP because it creates an easy entry for any one who knows the thorough basics of any other programming language. If you know the basics of programming or some other languages like C or C++ ,understanding & mastering PHP wont be a tedious task. 5

JOBS AND PHP LIVE PROJECT TRAINING STEP 1: PHP • • • • •
Usually every programming language has two approaches to build a program. They are called:Procedural methodology Object Oriented methodology 1 .Procedural programming Procedural programming is nothing but the normal way of writing a computer program (just like you wrote in your schools). Its a conventional/academic method which is used fr teaching purpose only. Advantage of procedural programming is that its simple to understand, everything is pretty straight forward. When it comes to industries & real jobs, they prefer people who knows Object Oriented Programming methodology (OOP). OOP is an industry standard programming method which has its own advantages over procedural method.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROCEDURE ORIENTED(POP) AND OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING(OOP)
We all know there exist 2 approaches to write a program – 1) Procedure oriented programming (POP) and2) Object oriented programming (OOP). You can write a program in either way but there are notable differences between both approaches.
These 2 approaches are the result of software development evolution over many decades. Since the invention of computer, many approaches and methods have been tried to write a program.
It includes methods like a) Top-Down programming b) Bottom-Up programming c) Modular programming d) Structured programming etc. The basic purpose or the basic aim of all these methods were same - “to make programming efficient” – means to make the process of writing a complex program less harder, bug free, easily understandable, easily expandable/modifiable etc. 7

OBJECT ORIENTED METHOD. •
OOP or Object Oriented Programming has several advantages when it comes to use in industries & web application development companies.
•
Code Reusability – The code you wrote can be used by another programmer and viceversa
•
Facilitates Collaboration/Teamwork – 2 or more people can work together in the same project
•
Easy Maintenance & Iterations – OOP makes it easy to make alterations to the application and release updated versions.
•
Protection of Data & higher security – OOP method provides better data protection (for the flow of data in between many modules of the program) & higher safety standards for the web application you make.

ADVANTAGES OF OOP • •
•
•
These are some of the many advantages of OOP . You are highly recommended to learn the Object Oriented method, and I can give you tons of reasons for that. All of the well functioning and established companies use Object oriented method, so that employees can work together in a team. OOP makes your code modular, so that one person can work in his section without disturbing others sections. Most of the frameworks for PHP like YII, Zend, CodeIgnitor are all designed in OOP methodology.

JOBS AND PHP LIVE PROJECT TRAINING 2 : HTML (HYPER TEXT MARK UP LANGUAGE) /CSS
You need to know some HTML too to be a good web application developer.
HTML is used to develop web pages for the web browsers .
All the heaps of code which you’ve written(in what ever language be it like PHP, ASP, Python or Ruby) will be rendered as HTML in a browser.
HTML is the only language which the web browser knows and reads.
What ever view you see in a web browser is delivered to you in HTML.
Right click on this webpage and select to view source; you can see the complete HTML of a website.
CSS or Cascading style sheets are where we apply the styles to all the html elements.
For instance, if we see some content with green color in a page, it should be coming from the css style sheets. We specify styles for each and every HTML element inside the stylesheet file (called as CSS file).
Styles are written & saved as CSS files (by default:- stylesheet.css). Every HTML element can be styled like size of heading tags (H1,H2, H3…), font & color of hyperlinks, position of images etc etc.

JOBS AND PHP LIVE PROJECT TRAINING STEP 3: JAVASCRIPT AND JQUERY • • • •
• •
• •
jquery is a library of javascript. Both of them are client side (or browser side) languages used for client side interaction. Now a days most of the visual effects you see in a web page is implemented using Jquery. If you need to do some calculations with out sending request to a server (that means with out a page reload), you need to use browser side processing language like javascript. Browser side/Client side languages must be used to solve problems that don’t really need a server side request. There is no additional request sent to a server residing at some other continent, no additional bandwidth required, no need to reload the page & no extra time required. Computing will happen in an instant and the results are much faster than using a server side language. I hope you got the real difference between using a server side language & browser side language. On the other hand, if you need to communicate with a database like MySql (like storing some values into database or reading some values from database), you should use a server side language like PHP. 11

JOBS AND PHP LIVE PROJECT TRAINING STEP 4 : DATABASES -MYSQL •
Databases are where we store data
•
Mysql is the best and most common database used with PHP. There are other DB’s like oracle, mongodb, PostgreSql and many others.
•
Different databases have different purposes and the choice to use a database varies with requirements of the application to be built. PHP works best with MySql as there are many inbuilt functions in PHP to interact with MySql. When you use PHP with other databases, you will have to develop custom user defined functions to interact with those databases.
•
When it comes to the working of data bases, we can narrow it down to two basic processes.
•
Inserting new data to database and deleting/replacing the already existing data.
• •
Fetching the Inserted data for displaying/processing. A record will be inserted, deleted, updated or fetched from database using PHP by executing database queries. There will be differences in how the data is inserted or fetched, and it can be as simple as fetching a single row from a table to as complex as selecting multiple rows from multiple tables. 12

JOBS AND PHP LIVE PROJECT TRAINING STEP 5: AJAX •
• • •
Ajax will help you to send request to server with out a page reload. Most of the modern we based applications are built using ajax functionality so that the number page loads will be minimum. You need to be well versed in ajax too to be a respected & knowledgeable web developer. In fact, learning ajax is the easiest thing compared to all other scripting languages described above. You can use Jquery to send an ajax request and to receive a response. Thats all you need to know with ajax , just sending a request to a file and receiving its response . Here is a real life analogy for an Ajax response. Request: Who is the American President? Response : Barack Obama. Lots of different scenarios occur in a request and response that’s all you need to be aware about. 13

JOBS AND PHP LIVE PROJECT TRAINING STEP 6 : FRAMEWORKS •
• • • • • •
You don’t need to learn all the frameworks, just learn a framework and get in deep into it. These are the popular frameworks in php at present. Yii CakePhp Zend Code Igniter Symphony If you are a beginner in frameworks for PHP, I would highly recommend to begin with YII as it is a new framework with high flexibility and easy to handle. YII is easy to learn as well. 14

JOBS AND PHP LIVE PROJECT TRAINING STEP 7 : WORDPRESS •
I have written about WordPress in the beginning of this article. 60 million and more websites in the world is using wordpress to power the website. According to another data source 1 out of 6 websites is running in wordpress. In fact wordpress is simple if you come to know the basic file and database structure.
•
A WordPress expert usually dont need to go for a job as there are plenty of other options for him to make decent money by freelancing and self made projects.
•
However many people still prefer the comfort of a good & safe job. If you are interested in WordPress, start getting deeper into it and learn as much as you can. Later you can apply for a job in 2 types of companies –
• •
1) companies that provide WordPress customisation services and 2) companies that create WordPress based products like Premium Themes & Premium Plugins. The demand for wordpress designers & developers are increasing day by day. 15

Opencart
•
PrestaShop
•
OsCommerce
•
Out if these 4, Magento is the best one in the industry which is stable and reliable. Magento is built upon the Zend Framework.
