How we use Simple \"die()\" statements error handling method in PHP?

Die() is used to display a message and exits the current script.

I have given you an example:

 In this we try to open a file. Suppose if that file does not exist,Then you might get an error like this \"fopen(R4R Welcome.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\\PHPWelcome.php on line 2\".

 Now, we can handle this error with a die(\"File does not exist\") statement.

 So, if file does not exist then you might get an error like this, \"File does not exist\" which is much more easier to understand than the earlier code.

How we handle errors in PHP ?

In PHP we can handle errors easily. Because when error comes it gives error level with their respective line and send error message to the web browser. When we create any web application and scripts. We should handle errors wisely. Because when erros are not handled properly, they can make big hole in security. In PHP we handle errors by using these methods:

  1. 1.Simple \"die()\" statements
  2. 2.Custom errors and error triggers
  3. 3.Error reporting

How you can differentiate abstract class and interface?

There are some main difference between abstract class and interface class are given below:

1.In an abstract we can use sharable code where in the case of interface their is no facility to use sharable code.

2.Class in which we implement an interface class. All method that we use should be defined in interface. Where as class those extending an abstract while a class extending an abstract class they are may and may not be  defined methodsin the abstract class.

3.Methods in inheritance class should be declared as public whereas in abstract it can be protected as well as public.

 

How we can upload videos using PHP?

When want to upload videos using PHP we should follow these steps:

  1. First you have to encrypt the the file which you want to upload by using \"multipart-form-data\" to get the $_FILES in the form submission.
  2. After getting the $_FILES[\'tmp_name\'] in the submission
  3. By using move_uploaded_file (tmp_location,destination) function in PHP we can move the file from original location.

How we use Custom errors and error triggers error handling methods in PHP?

In Custom errors and error triggers,we handle errors by using self made functions.

1. Custom errors : By using this we can handle the multiple errors that gives multiple message.

Syntax:set_error_handler(\\\"Custom_Error\\\");

In this syntax if we want our error handler to handleonly one error than we write only one argument otherwisefor handle multiple errors we can write multiple arguments.

Example:Error: \"[$errorno] $errorstr\"; 

set_error_handler(\\\"custom_Error\\\"); //set error handler like this

echo($verify);?> //trigger to that error

2.Error trigger : In PHP we use error trigger to handlethose kind of error when user enter some input data.If data has an error than handle by error trigger function.

Syntax: trigger_error();

Example: In this trigger_error function generate error when i isless than or greater than 1.

How we use Error logging method in PHP?

In PHP,by default an error log send to the server\'s logging system or a file.By using error logging we can send and error log to the specific file or a remote destination.

Example.In this we send a mail to our self with error message. And end the script when error comes.

Error

[$errno] $errorstr\";

echo \"program has been notified\"; 

error_log(\"Error: [$errorno] $errorstr\",1, \"abc@xyz.com\",\"From: program@xyz.com\");

//set error handler

set_error_handler(\"customError\",E_USER_WARNING);

//trigger error

$i=0;

if ($i<=1) 

{

 trigger_error(\"I should be greater than 1\", E_USER_WARNING); 

}

Output:

[512] I should be greater than 1//Output of the code

Error: [512] I should be greater than 1 // error log recieved by our mail

What do you understand about Magic Code in PHP?

In PHP we use some special type of character called Magic Code.

Magic Code was introduced to help newbie of programming in writing bad SQL codes. But later it has become vulnerable to SQL injection attacks.

Some magic codes are,

single quote( \' )

double quote( \" )

amperson ( & )


We can escape magic code using backslash(/).

what are the constant value in PHP?can we write them without $ symbol?

Constant values are those values which are once defined then cannot be changed.Unlike variables constants are global by default. 

Syntax: define(\"name\",\"value\",\"Case sensitive or not\");

name- describes the name of the constant

value- its respective value

case sensitive- Optional, by default it is false

Yes,we can write constant value in PHP without $ symbol.

Example

define(\"CONSTANT\",\"R4R Welcomes You\");

echo \"CONSTANT\";

output:R4R Welcomes You

What is the main difference between include_once() and require_once() in PHP?

The main difference between include_once() and require_once() is that, In PHP if file does not exist and specified with include_once() it gives show warning message or non-fatal error. And the statements following it are still be executed.

Where as if we specified file as require_once() it giver a fatal error. And the statements following it are not executed.

How can we find out the name of the current executing file?

We can get the name and path of the current executing file name by using SCRIPT_NAME

How do you understand about stored procedure,Triggers and transaction in php?

Below I have given how stored procedure,Triggers and transaction work in PHP: 


1.Stored Procedure: It is combination of some SQL commands it is stored and can be compiled.Suppose that when user is executed a command than user has don\'t need to reissue the entire query he can use the stored procedure.Basically main reason to use the stored procedure is that using this we can decrease the time of reissue of that query. Because work done on server side is more than the work done on application side.

2.Trigger: Trigger is a stored procedure.This is used to work stored procedure effectively.It is invoked when a special type of event comes.To effectively understand this i have given you a example. 

When we attach a trigger with stored procedure than when we delete a record from transaction table than will automatically work and delete the respective client from client table.

3.Transaction: Transaction is that in which particular amount of data goes from the a client to the another client.We maintain the transaction record into a table called transaction table.

What function we used to change timezone from one to another ?

Data type that we used in PHP are given below: 

1.Numeric

2.Boolean 

3.Array  

4.String  

5.Object

6.Reference

7.Float

We do not need to declare data type in PHP but we can get the type of a defined variable via function called var_dump();

Example:

$x=1000;

var_dump($x);

Output:

int(1000)

What is the use of strlen() and strpos() functions?

strlen() function is used to find out the length of the given string.

3.The data is send into a small packets. This used to sent large amount of data.

What is PHP?

PHP(PHP:Hypertext Preprocessor) is a server-side programing languages.

It is use to made the web pages dynamically.

PHP is introduce by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995.

It is a free released and open source software 

We introduce PHP under the HTML tags.

In this scripts are executed on server side.

It supports many database like that MySQL, Informix, Oracle, Sybase, Solid, PostgreSQL, Generic ODBC, etc.

Tell more about PHP file?

In PHP file we may contain text, HTML tags and scripts.It returned to the browser in form of plain HTML code.We can save PHP file using these three extension .php,.php3 or .phtml. 

An Example of PHP file are given below:

<html>
<head><title>PHPExample</title></head>
<body>
<h1><?php echo \"Welcome in PHP world\"; ?></h1>
<?php
$txt = \"This is my first PHP script\";
/* statement */
echo $txt;
?>
</body>
</html>

How PHP is more secure than JavaScript?

It is much secure than JavaScript because of when client process the PHP page than PHP code only send the output of given request without PHP source code.So, the PHP code Can not steal by non-authorized person.

What do you understand about MySQL?

MySQL is an open source Relational Database Management System(RDMS).

It was introduced in 23May,1995 by MySQLAB, Its an Swedish company.Now,is a subsidiary of Sun Microsystems,.

MySQL is designed in C and C++.

We can download is codes as per rules of GNU(General Public Licence). 

It fast,reliable and flexible.It works on many platforms like:Uinux,Linux and Windows.

Why do we use PHP?

Because of several main reason we use PHP. These are: 

1.PHP runs on many different platforms like that Unix,Linux and Windows etc. 

2.It codes and software are free and easy to download. 

3.It is secure because user can only aware about output doesn\'t know how that comes. 

4.It is fast,flexible and reliable. 

5.It supports many servers like: Apache,IIS etc.

How to install PHP in our system?

First you have download PHP software from: http://www.php.net/downloads.php 

Now you have to install Database Which you want to use:

Like MySQL download from:http://www.mysql.com/downloads/index.html 

Then download server on which you want to work.from:http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

What is the Syntax of PHP?

Syntax:

<?php

//statements

?>

Keep one thing in mind when we write PHP code each PHP line should ends with semicolon(;).

Tell me about basic statements that we used in PHP?

PHP has two basic statements.

These are echo and print.

Example:

echo\"Hello world..!!\";

Output:

Hello world..!!

Example:

print \"Hello world\";

Output

Hello world..!! 

What are the PHP variables?

Variables are named memory location used to store values,

Like: Strings, Numbers or Array.

In PHP their is no limit to create number of variables.

All variable in PHP starts with dollar(\"$\")sign 

We assign value to the variable using \"=\" operator. 

Syntax:$variable_name = vale;Example:

What are the Limitations of Variable Naming?

Some main limitations of Variable Naming in PHP are given below:

1.In PHP their is not a fixed limit for Variable Name as compare to other programing language. 

2.First letter of PHP Variable must start with a letters,numbers or underscore \"_\". 

3.Variable Name should be a combination of Alpha-Numeric Characters or underscores(a-z,A-Z,0-9or_) 

4.Variable name must be one word.If their is more than one word in our Variable Name.Than we can distinguish them with underscore(\"_\").Like $first_name.

How to use Switch statement in PHP?

If you want to execute more than one code than we use Switch statement.

Syntax:switch (expression) 

{ case label1: code to be executed if expression = label1;

 break;

 case label2: code to be executed if expression = label2;

 break; 

 default: code to be executed if expression is different from both label1 and label2; 

}

In this One expression is execute one time.We match a particular value.If it is matched than its correspondent case will executed.When break comes executed case will stopped and command go on next case.If none of the case are executed than default case will executed.

What do you understand with array in PHP?

We create array in PHP to solved out the problem of writing same variable name many time.

In this we create a array of variable name and enter the similar variables in terms of element.

Each element in array has a unique key.Using that key we can easily access the wanted element.

Arrays are essential for 

storing, 

managing and 

operating on sets of variables effectively. 

Array are of three types: 

1.Numeric array: Numeric array is used to create an array with a unique key 

2.Associative array : is used to create an array where each unique key is associated with their value.

3.Multidimensional array : Multidimensional array is used when we declare multiple arrays in an array.


What do you understand about Numeric array, Associative array and Multidimensional array?

1. Numeric array:In this array we entered each array element with a unique key.

Example:  array ( \"vivek\", \"vineet\", \"abhi\" ) 

2.Associative array:In this array we assign array elements with unique key and their respected values.

Example: \"Patel\"=>array ( \"hariom\" ), \"Singh\"=>array ( \"saurabh\", \"ram\", \"rohan\" ) );

3.Multidimensional array:In this array we can declare array with in an array.In this multiple arrays has a automatically assign unique key.

Example: echo \"Is \" . $families[\'Agarwal\'][0] . \" belongs to the Agarwal family?\"; 

Output:Is vivek belongs to the Agarwal family?

What do you understand about looping in PHP?

Looping uses, when we want to execute some block of code for a specific time.

In PHP Looping are of Four types: 

1.while: We uses \'while\', when we want to execute a block of code till given condition is true. 

2.do..while: We uses \'do..while\', when we want to execute a block of code at least one.After that it checks the condition if it is true than block of code is execute till condition is true,Other wise stopped the execution. 

3.for: We uses \'for\', when we want to execute a block of code many times. 

4.foreach: We uses \'foreach\', when we want to execute a block of code for each element in an array.

How to use while,do..while,for and foreach loop in PHP?

1.while:Uses, we want to execute a line of code many times till specific condition is true. 

Syntax:while (condition) 

{

code will be executed;//When condition is trueExample:\";

 $m++; 

 } 

2.do..while:Uses, we want to execute a block of code at least one time. After that it checks the condition, till its correct the block of code will executed.Otherwise stopped the execution. 

Syntax: 

do{

 code will be executed; 

}while (condition);//loop execute atleast one time whenever condition is true or false 

3.for:Uses, When we want execute a block of code for some specific times. 

Syntax:for (initialize; condition; increment/decrement)

 {

 code will be executed;

 }

4.foreach:Uses, When When we want execute a block of code for each element in an array. 

Syntax:foreach (array as value)

{ code will be executed; 

}

What do you understand functions in PHP?How we create them?

Functions are one the main property in PHP.It makes PHP useful as compare to others.PHP provides more than 701 in-build functions.How to create Functions in PHP:For creating functions in PHP we have to keep in mind these steps. 

Syntax:

function <function_name>(Parameters)

{

//Function Body;

}

How to handle form in PHP?

When we handle form in PHP keep that most important thing any form element of HTML page will be automatically goes on PHP scripts via Get and Post.

Get and Post are two associative arrays used to collect information from the web page after form is submitted.

Syntax:

$_POST[];

$_GET[];

Example:

<form method=POST>

name:<input type=text name=Text1>

<input type=submit>

</form>

<?php

echo $_POST[Text1];

?>


What is form validation?What is Client Side and Server Side validation?

If programmer created a file it should be properly validate.Using form validation we can stop the processing of incorrect input.

Because when user enter a invalid input than it may be our form will processed and generated wrong input. We can validate our form on two sides. 

1.Client Side 

2.Server Side 

In Client Side we validate form using only JavaScript.

In Server Side is used for validating passwords etc.

Client Side validation is much faster than Server Side validation. 

Some general value that you have to validate when you create form. 

 1.empty values 

2.numbers only 

3.input length 

4.email address 

5.strip HTML tags

What is the difference between constants and variables in PHP?

Contants are by default global whereas variables are not. The need to be declare as global if required.

When we used $_GET and $_POST variable?

 We know that when we use $_GET variable all data_values are display on our URL.So,using this we don\'t have to send secret data (Like:password, account code).But using we can bookmarked the importpage. We use $_POST variable when we want to send data_values without display on URL.And their is no limit to send particular amount of character.Using this we can not bookmarked the page.

Why we use $_REQUEST variable?

We use $_REQUEST variable in PHP to collect the data_values from $_GET,$_POST and $_COOKIE variable.Example: 

Syntax:

$_REQUEST[\'name\'];

Example:

<form method=POST>

name:<input type=text name=Text1>

<input type=submit>

</form>

<?php

echo $_REQUEST[Text1];

?>


Why we use Date() function in PHP and How?

 We use Data() function in PHP to display the local time and date.

Syntax:

string date( string $format[, int $timestamp ])  

Where,tim estamp is optional. Timestamp is the unix timestamp represents the number of seconds after 1st Jan,1970 at 00:00:00 GMT.

Example:

<?php

echo Date(\"d,m,y\");

echo \"<br />\";

echo Date(\"D,d,D,Y\");

echo \"<br />\";

echo \"time: \"Date(\"h,i,sa\");

?>

Output:

12,06,2015

Fri,12,Jun,2015

time: 11:12:23am

Why we used Server Side include function?

 We use Server Side Include(SSL) to create functions,footer,header or elements.For multiple reuse those on different pages.In this we uses two functions include() and require(). Both functions are same except how they handle errors.

  1. include() function
  2. require() function
  3. include() function:When error comes it show warning but not stop the execution of JavaScript.
  4. require() function:When error comes it show fatal error and also stop the execution of JavaScript.

    

How we use include() and require() function in PHP?

The main difference between include() and require() is that, In PHP if file does not exist and specified with include_once() it gives show warning message or non-fatal error. And the statements following it are still be executed.

Where as if we specified file as require_once() it giver a fatal error. And the statements following it are not executed.

How to use File Handling in PHP?

 We Done File Handling in PHP by using fopen() function. 
Example:

<html>
<body>
<?php
$file=fopen(\"R4R Welcome.doc\",\"r\");
?>
</body>
</html>

 first parameter of fopen use for which file you want to open and the second parameter use for which mode you want to perform on that file(Like:read,write,append etc).

What types of modes we use in PHP for File Handling?

 Some modes that we use in PHP are given below:

  1. r :This perform only read operation and start at the beginning of file.
  2. r+ :This perform both read and write operation and start at the beginning of file.
  3. w :This perform only write operation.we can open and create the content of file.If file is not exist creates a new file.
  4. w+ :This perform both read and write operation. we can open and create the content of file.If file is not exist creates a new file.
  5. a :We can open and append the content of file.
  6. If file is not exist creates a new file.
  7. a+ :We can open,read and append the content of file.
  8. x :This perform only write operation.Also create new files.It will show error or return False when file is already exist.
  9. x+ :This perform both read and write operation. Also create new files.It will show error or return False when file is already exist.

How we use fopen(),fclose(),feof(),fgets() and fgetc()in PHP?

fopen() function is use to open a file in a specific mode(read write etc.).

<html>
<body>
<?php
$R4R_file=fopen(\"R4R Welcome.doc\",\"r\");
?>
</body>
</html>

fclose() function is use to close the file.

<?php
$R4R_file = fopen(\"R4R Welcome.doc\",\"r\");
//block of code
fclose($R4R_file);
?>

feof() is used to confirmed that \'end-of-file\' has been achieved.

if (feof($R4R_file))
echo \"End of file\";

fgets() is used when we want to read a single line from the file.

<?php
$R4R_file = fopen(\"R4R Welcome.doc\", \"r\") ;
while(!feof($R4R_file))
  {
  echo fgets($R4R_file). \"<br />\";
  }
fclose($R4R_file);
?>

fgetc() is used when we want to read a single character from the file.
