This document tells you howto develop PHP programs and also to migrate all the
Windows 95 GUI applications to powerful PHP + HTML + DHTML + XML + Java applets + Javascript.
The information in this document applies to all the operating sytems
where PHP is ported that is - Linux, Windows 95/NT,
OS/2, all flavors of Unix like Solaris, HPUX, AIX, SCO, Sinix, BSD, etc..

<sect>Introduction
<p>
PHP stands for 'Hypertext Pre-Processor' and is a server
side HTML scripting/programming language.
PHP is a tool that lets you create dynamic web pages. PHP-enabled web pages
are treated just like regular HTML pages and you can create and edit them
the same way you normally create regular HTML pages.
PHP was kept the <bf>"top secret and strictly confidential"</bf>
computer language by many companies in the world, but now had become
the most well-known and most widely used scripting language for
web, internet, e-commerce and business-to-business projects.
Even today many competing companies keep PHP language as a
highly confidential matter not disclosing to outsiders (competitors).
PHP will storm the entire world and will take the IT industry by surprise!!
The power of PHP is that it is <bf>cross-platform and runs everywhere!!</bf>
It runs on Linux, Windows 95/98/NT, Windows 2000, Solaris, HPUX and all
flavors of unix. PHP is write once and deploy anywhere and everywhere.
It runs on many web-servers like Apache, Microsoft IIS, etc..
PHP runs 5 to 20 times faster than Java!! It is extremely easy to use
and you can develop very complex web/e-commerce applications
very rapidly in a very short period of time.
It has object oriented features and takes the best features from Java,
C++, PERL and "C" langauges. PHP language is a <it>marriage</it> of
best features from Java, C++, PERL and C.
PHP is the <bf>real gem</bf> of all the scripting/programming languges
and will soon become the "MECCA" for programmers world-wide!!
PHP has a huge user base and a large
developer base as it runs on both window95/NT and all flavors of unixes.
PHP can be compiled and optimized to make it run even faster by using the
Zend Optimizer. Zend optimizer is integrated with PHP in PHP version 4.0.
You would normally use a combination of
PHP (70% code) + HTML/DHTML/XML (25% code) + Javascript (5% code client side validations)
for your e-commerce projects.

<sect> PHP Tutorial <label id = "PHP Tutorial">
<p>
In this tutorial we assume that your server has support for PHP activated
and that all files ending in .php3 are handled by PHP.
Your first PHP-enabled page:
Create a file named hello.php3 and in it put the following lines:
<code>
<html>< head>< title >PHP Test< /title >< /head >
< body>
<?php echo "Hello World<P>"; ?>
< /body>< /html>
</code>
Note that this is not like a CGI script.
Think of it as a normal HTML file which happens to have a set of
special tags available to you.
If you tried this example and it didn't output anything, chances are that
the server you are on does not have PHP enabled. Ask your administrator to
enable it for you.
The point of the example is to show the special PHP tag format. In this
example we used &lt ?php to indicate the start of a PHP tag. Then we put the
PHP statement and left PHP mode by adding the closing tag, ? &gt . You may jump
in and out of PHP mode in an HTML file like this all you want.
We are going to check what sort of
browser the person viewing the page is using. In order to do that we check
the user agent string that the browser sends as part of its request. This
information is stored in a variable. Variables always start with a
dollar-sign in PHP. The variable we are interested in is $HTTP_USER_AGENT.
To display this variable we can simply do:
<code>
<?php echo $HTTP_USER_AGENT; ?>
</code>
For the browser that you are using right now to view this page, this
displays:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 98)
There are many other variables that are automatically set by your web
server. You can get a complete list of them by creating a file that looks
like this:
<code>
<?php phpinfo()?>
</code>
Then load up this file in your browser and you will see a page full of
information about PHP along with a list of all the variables available to
you.
You can put multiple PHP statements inside a PHP tag and create little
blocks of code that do more than just a single echo.
<code>
<?php
if(strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT,"MSIE")) {
echo "You are using Internet Explorer<br>";
}
?>
</code>
We can take this a step further and show how you can jump in and out of PHP
mode even in the middle of a PHP block:
<code>
<?php
if(strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT,"MSIE"))
{
?>
< center>< b>You are using Internet Explorer< /b>< /center>
<?
}
else
{
?>
< center>< b>You are not using Internet Explorer< /b>< /center>
<?
}
?>
</code>
Instead of using a PHP echo statement to output something, we jumped out of
PHP mode and just sent straight HTML. The important and powerful point to
note here is that the logical flow of the script remain intact. Only one of
the HTML blocks will end up getting sent to the viewer. Running this script
right now results in:
You are using Internet Explorer
Dealing with Forms
One of the most powerful features of PHP is the way it handles HTML forms.
The basic concept that is important to understand is that any form element
in a form will automatically result in a variable with the same name as the
element being created on the target page. This probably sounds confusing, so
here is a simple example. Assume you have a page with a form like this on
it:
<code>
<form action="action.php3" method="POST">
Your name: <input type=text name=name>
You age: <input type=text name=age>
<input type=submit>
< /form>
</code>
There is nothing special about this form. It is a straight HTML form with no
special tags of any kind. When the user fills in this form and hits the
submit button, the action.php3 page is called. In this file you would have
something like this:
<code>
Hi <?php echo $name?>. You are <?php echo $age?> years old.
</code>
Surprise!! The $name and $age variables are automatically set for you by PHP !!

<chapt> ctags for PHP !! <label id = "ptags">
-->
<sect> ctags for PHP ! Surprise!!! <label id = "ptags">
<p>
Tags are extremely valuable and are used for navigation of source code inside the
editors like vi, emacs, CRiSP, NEdit etc... If you had
programmed a lot in C, C++ or Java you
might have used the <bf>ctags</bf> program to create tags.
To see the online manual page, type 'man ctags' at linux/unix bash prompt.
The <bf>ptags</bf> program for PHP is given below, which you can
use to create the tags for PHP source code. Your <bf>productivity will
improve 3 to 4 times</bf> if you use <bf>ptags</bf>.

<chapt> Debugging PHP <label id = "debugphp">

<sect> Debugging PHP <label id = "debugphp">
<p>
To debug PHP programs create a file "debug2.inc" having the
following functions :
<code>
<?php
/* define this variable, to prevent double declaration. */
if (!defined("_DEBUG2_DEFINED_"))
{
define("_DEBUG2_DEFINED_", 1 );
}
else
return; // if this file is already included then return
# file name : debug2.inc
# Functions for debuging the PHP source code
#*****************************************************************
# Copyright policy is GNU/GPL but additional request is
# that you include author's name and email on all copies
# Author : Al Dev Email: alavoor@yahoo.com
#*****************************************************************
# Usage of this functions -
# In your source code put something like -
# debug2_(__FILE__, __LINE__, "f_somevariable", $f_somevariable);
# And this will generate output in debug.out file.
//function debug2_($fname, $lname, $debug_var, $debug_value=0) {}
// Give read, exec for all on directory /debug2_logs
// chmod a+rwx /debug2_logs
// But here you need to open the file in append mode.
$fp_debug2 = fopen("/debug2_logs/debug.out", "a");
if ($fp_debug2 == false)
{
print "<b>File open failed - global.var.inc<b>";
exit;
}
function debug2_($fname, $lname, $debug_var, $debug_value=0)
{
global $fp_debug2;
//print "<br> debug_value is : $debug_value <br>";
if (!$debug_value)
{
fwrite($fp_debug2, "\n ". $fname ." ". $lname .": $debug_var");
}
else
{
fwrite($fp_debug2, "\n ". $fname . " ". $lname .": $debug_var = $debug_value");
}
//print "<br> f_cookie is : $f_cookie <br>";
}
// In your first page, which is generally index.php3
// truncate the debug2_logs file in beginning of code
function init_debug_file()
{
global $fp_debug2;
$fp_debug2 = fopen("/debug2_logs/debug.out", "w");
if ($fp_debug2 == false)
{
print "<b>File open failed - global.var.inc<b>";
exit;
}
system("chmod a+rwx /debug2_logs/debug.out");
}
?>
</code>
In your PHP source code initial page which is generally index.php3, put
a line like
<code>
<?php
include ("debug2.inc");
init_debug_file();
// all other commands follows here ...
// ...........
?>
</code>
To output debug values, in your PHP source code files, put debug2_() calls
as illustrated below:
<code>
<?php
include ("debug2.inc");
debug2_(__FILE__, __LINE__, "f_somevariable", $f_somevariable);
function aa()
{
$aa = 8;
debug2_(__FILE__, __LINE__, "aa", $aa);
}
?>
</code>
When you run the PHP program the output will be traced in the file called
debug.out giving the filename, linenumber, variable name and it's value.
Use the debug2_() generously in your code. The usage of debug2_() calls
in your program will <bf>NOT</bf> have any impact on the
final production code and
also has no impact on the performance because they will be filtered out
as described below. You can use copy and paste to save time
of typing debug2() calls
or use the 'yank to buffer' feature of Vi editor and paste.
When you are done development and testing and when you are ready to
deploy on the production server, filter out the debug2_ calls from
your source code. At unix prompt -
<code>
bash$ mkdir production
bash$ grep -v debug2_ filea.php3 > production/filea.php3
</code>
For a large group of files -
<code>
bash$ mkdir production
bash$ ls *.php3 | while read ans
do
grep -v debug2_ $ans > production/$ans
done
</code>
And now copy the files from production to the deployment area.

<chapt change> Limitations of PHP
-->
<sect> Limitations of PHP
<p>
Everything has limitations or disadvantages and PHP is no exception.
The following are the limitations of PHP (so be <bf>WARNED !!</bf>)
<enum>
<item> PHP is NOT 100 % pure Object Oriented scripting language.
PHP is good if your PHP code size does not exceed 3,00,000 lines.
Maintainence of PHP code greater than 1,00,000 lines becomes more difficult.
<item> PHP will NOT give the performance of "C" or "C++" language. Because
it is scripting language and is interpreted it will be a bit slower than
the optimized "C++" programs. For top performance, you should use "C++" and
fast-CGI with database/webserver
connection pooling and use C++ compiler optimizer "-O3" options.
Zend optimizer in PHP 4 will speed up the performance of PHP to certain extent.
</enum>
On the other hand, PHP has lot of advantages and it's advantages outweigh it's
limitations -
<enum>
<item> You can very rapidly develop web applications in PHP as compile and link
is eliminated in PHP scripting language.
<item> PHP applications are very stable and do not depend on the browser
technologies unlike Javascript applications which depend on browsers.
PHP will give you the freedom to select any server platform and browser does
not know that the HTML page is generated by PHP!!
<item> PHP has excellent database conectivity to all SQL database servers.
<item> PHP has partial support for Object oriented features
<item> PHP has C++, Perl, Javascript like syntax features and has programs like
'ptags/ctags' to navigate the source code
<item> PHP has Zend optimizer which speeds up the performance
<item> PHP runs on all unixes, linux, Windows 95/NT/2000 and is more
powerful than ASP, JSP and others.
<item> PHP has a very large user base and developer base.
</enum>
<bf>WARNING: </bf> If you want 100% pure Object Oriented scripting language
than you MUST consider <bf>Python</bf>. The 'Python' is a object
oriented scripting
language from ground up. You would be using the Python Web Application server
called 'Zope' which is available at -
<url url="http://www.zope.org">
and python is at
<url url="http://www.python.org">

From the PHP 3 Manual:
Works only if PHP is an Apache module.
Instead of simply printing out the $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW,
you would probably want to check the username and password for
validity. Perhaps by sending a query to a
database, or by looking up the user in a dbm file.
<code>
<?php
if (!$PHP_AUTH_USER)
{
Header("WWW-authenticate: basic realm=\"My Realm\"");
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "Text to send if user hits Cancel button\n";
exit;
}
else
{
echo "Hello $PHP_AUTH_USER.<P>";
echo "You entered $PHP_AUTH_PW as your password.<P>";

PHP: network adminstrator's best friend from <url url="http://www.phpWizard.net">
As a web-developer, you're probably used to such lovely tools as ping,
whois, nslookup etc. But what when you need one of those utilities at a
client's office and have no access to telnet? Good guess. Time to look
up the functions in the "Network" section of the PHP manual.
<bf>Socket operations: </bf>
The most important function there is fsockopen(). Using this function,
you can connect to any open port on a server and establish a socket
connection with it. The function's syntax is as following:
<code>
int fsockopen(string hostname, int port, int [errno], string [errstr]);
</code>
The first two arguments are obvious, the next two are optional and used
for error handling. The "errno" and "errstr" should be passed by reference.
"Passing by reference" means that the original variable will get
modified. Normally, the content of a variable passed to a function
wouldn't be modified.
So, you could use this function to open a connection to a webserver and
print out the headers:
<code>
function get_headers($host, $path = "/")
{
$fp = fsockopen ("$host", 80, &$errnr, &$errstr) or die("$errno: $errstr");
fputs($fp,"GET $path HTTP/1.0\n\n");
while (!$end)
{
$line = fgets($fp, 2048);
if (trim($line) == "")
$end = true;
else
echo $line;
}
fclose($fp);
}
</code>
In this example you see that you can apply any file operations (fread,
fwrite etc) to the the pointer you got using the fsockopen() call. Note
that the example realizes a HTTP/1.0 client - it won't work with
name-based virtual hosts.
<bf>Finger: </bf>
Naturally, you can also open connections to other ports. Writing a
small finger client with PHP is trivial therefore. Let's change the
example from above to query a finger daemon:
<code>
function finger ($host, $user)
{
$fp = fsockopen($host, 79, &$errno, &$errstr) or die("$errno: $errstr");
fputs($fp, "$user\n");
while (!feof($fp))
echo fgets($fp, 128);
fclose($fp);
}
</code>
<bf>Whois: </bf>
Querying a whois server uses the same concept:
<code>
// domain is like "phpwizard.net"
function whois($domain, $server="whois.internic.net")
{
$fp = fsockopen ($server, 43, &$errnr, &$errstr) or die("$errno: $errstr");
fputs($fp, "$domain\n");
while (!feof($fp))
echo fgets($fp, 2048);
fclose($fp);
}
</code>
<bf>Blocking and non-blocking operations: </bf>
But there's a problem with all those functions. They work fine if
<enum>
<item> You have a conenction with low latency and
<item> If the server you're connecting to is up and
running. If not, your script will be busy until
it times out. The reason for this is that default socket connections
are blocking and don't time out. You can avoid these "hanging scripts"
by switching to non-blocking socket operations. The function
set_socket_blocking() does just that: it set all operations on a socket
(first parameter: socket pointer) to either blocking (second parameter:
true) or false (second parameter: false). Using non-blocking
operations, the finger function would like like this:
</enum>
<code>
$fp = fsockopen($host, 79, &$errno, &$errstr) or die("$errno: [ ] $errstr");
set_socket_blocking($fp, 0);
fputs($fp, "$user\n");
$stop = time() + $timeout;
while (!feof($fp) && time() < $stop )
echo fgets($fp, 128);
fclose($fp);
</code>
Modifying these 3 functions to use non-blocking socket calls is left as
an exercise for you.
