PHP Tutorial (File Handling): Scratch Pad

09 Jan


Prerequisite

  1. Knowledge of basic PHP syntax.

In this tutorial you will learn about

  1. File Handling

Functions

We will be using 3 predefined functions for file handling

  1. fopen: To open a file
  2. file_get_content: To read a file
  3. fclose: To close a file

Little theory before we begin

Opening a file

Predefined function fopen() is used to open a file. It returns a variable which can be used for accessing the file. Returned variable is called as file handler.
Syntax:

$var = fopen("path to file", "mode");
 

mode: It controls how you want to access a file.
Note: It opens the file only if the logged-in user has permission to open it. If unable to open the file it returns false.

Project: CODEGEN PHP | Phase I complete

19 Jul

Phase I of Project codegenPHP is complete.
Now you can generate OOP codes using wizard where you can specify the database structure.

You can check it at www.rahulprasad.com/codegen/step1.php

Future of codegen
Phase II: It will be able to generate PHP include file as well as SQL file.
Phase III: It will generate SQL views and procedures along with database defination and OPTIMIZED PHP include file.
Phase IV: Still planning about it. By far, it will be able to generate the whole software at once.

Project: CODEGEN PHP | Update 01

28 May

Hey my summer vacation has started.  Now I have started working on the project “Codegen PHP”. I have even left Travian (the game I like most) for this summer.

I have already done some of the initial coding for the project.
I have to pay more attention to its interface, gotta make it user friendly else I will have to write documentation too. (Thats what I hate most, and its not just me all programmer hate it).

Current version will be able to code a class along with some supporting functions for single table in the database. Later I will add support to create the whole library file from database.

After 2 days I am going back to my college for the summer training. There I will upload the testing version of the project. I will keep you updated in my blog.

Project: CODEGEN PHP

15 Apr

I like to code a program manually. This makes me learn from my mistakes. After coding many php applications I have noticed there is a basic procedure we repeat every time, that is creation of Class for each table in Database.

This is a tedious task when done manually for each table. So I have decided to write a PHP application which will develop a fully coded Php Class from a Database Table Structure.

The Application will take structure of database as input and will produce the Class structure. This will reduce most of the coding work.

I will start working on this App after my sessionals i.e. after 22nd April 2009 and will try to finish it before 30th April. Its code will be opensource and will be directly downloadable from my website and the project will be hosted in Sourceforge. Its live demo will be available on my website http://www.rahulprasad.com. If time permits I will write a tutorial on How the project Codegen Php is acomplished.

This is going to be my first contribution to opensource community.

I get this feeling that somehow this project can lead to a website that can “evolve”. Which means the website which can change its own code and upgrade its algorithm. Currenly this is just a theory. I will think on it later. I have to sleep now. :)
