PHP Demo Program

[ad name=”Google Adsense 468_60″]
Ron Fredericks writes: I am LectureMaker’s video platform technologist. So I thought I would demonstrate some of my sample code in building a simple website demo.

The demo consists of three pages that feature the following code

  • PHP programming with OO and model-view-controller (MVC) architecture
  • SQL file to create a new table and load some sample user data
  • PHP sessions and OO MySQL Data Manager
  • Use of CSS style sheet and tags for web page layout and forms management
  • Use of JavaScript and jQuery functions and project library
  • A RESTful API allowing users to move data between the three pages

Overview

Build a 2-3 page website with a single page view concept with JavaScript mvc and REST service. The concept of the site is to choose your background. After login the user can select a file to upload and that becomes the background image of the landing page. Page 1 is login with at least 3 different users who can login. Page 2 is landing page which will show the image uploaded and page 3 is upload the background image you like. Page 2 and 3 should have a logout button.

FAQ

What is OOP?
Object Oriented Programming, or OOP, invokes the use of classes to organize the data and structure of an application:

  • Objects: instances of a class
  • Inheritance: ability to pass characteristics and behaviors from a base class
  • Access Modifiers: ability to protect data and methods
  • Interfaces: a form of abstract class that acts as a model for creating a derived class
  • PHP 5 Built-in Classes: Standard PHP Library (SPL), mysqli, PDO, SQLite, XML support, relfection, Iterator interface, magic methods, objects passed by reference
  • Design Patterns: a reusable set of solutions that solve practical problems

What is MVC?
Model–View–Controller (MVC) is an architectural pattern used in software engineering:

  • Model handles database logic. Code in the model connects to the database and provides an abstraction layer.
  • Controller represents the business (application) logic i.e. all our ifs and else.
  • View provides the presentation logic i.e our HTML/XML/JSON code.

What is REST?
Representational state transfer (REST) is a predominant web API design model for distributed systems. PHP examples include:

  • Use FORM tag with GET or POST to send data to another web page.
  • Use cURL to set the URL, create array of POST data, set options such as return XML data, and make request.
  • Create a POST request by opening a TCP connection to the host using fsockopen(), then use fwrite() on the handler returned from fsockopen().

Design Methodology

See the figure above “Overview of the Project” where each web page is shown, along with the MySQL database supporting privileged access to the main project’s feature: to upload a new background image.

To start the project code I started with a basic development environment:

  • WampServer: a Windows, Apache, MySQL, and PHP development environment. I chose this platform to run my test code because I can development the code directly within the Apache Localhost service without the delay of a repeated ftp style upload.
  • Adobe’s DreamWeaver code editor: I use this code editing tool to highlight, format, and check my CSS, HTML, PHP, and JavaScript code. Because I save my files directly into the WampServer, the workflow is fairly efficient.

With this flexible coding environment I create three documents initially: the PHP login page, the CSS file, and a sql field definitions file using a tool called phpmyadmin hosted on my WampServer. I work back and forth between the login page, the CSS file, and the SQL definitions to get the look and feel I have visualized within my wireframe design. I add user fields into my SQL table to manage login storage. And as I start to see a pattern to the JavaScript and PHP support needs for this project: I prepare to add PHP classes, PHP support functions, and JavaScript code into new files as the code is development.
