In November 2015, the
latest version PHP7 has been released, with aim to enhance the
website performance. But, PHP developers, across the world have some
bad habits that seriously affect the application's performance,
created by them using PHP to PHP7 version. Here are some points that
developers should consider while providing a PHP Development Solution, and creating a website by using any of the latest PHP
version.
1. Create Light &
Clean Codes
When it comes to
programming languages, everyone prefers to use the light and clean
codes. The clean codes are always easy to readable, and has huge
scope for improvisation whenever it requires. While creating a PHP
code, the developer should mention all the variables properly, and
use the good values of object oriented programming.
2. Avoid Using MySQL
Functions
PHP has a huge number of
advanced functions. So, whatever the database you use to correlate
it, must be the latest and updated database. Prefer to use the MySQL
functions according to the advanced PHP versions. MySQL provides a
simple PDO implementation. So, by using the MySQL functions with
latest PHP versions, the developers can come up with valuable
outputs.
3. Use of Close Tags
While concluding PHP
files, many of the developers prefer to use close tags. But, the
WordPress file didn't conclude close tag. Although using a close tag
in PHP is not necessary, but still most of the developers use it for
keeping the control over the whitespace. But, according to the PHP
latest version, there is no need to use the closing tags at the
concluding portion of files.
4. Allow the Queries
Function in a Loop
While developing a site,
try to create a wide collection of data. Instead of letting the
queries function in a loop, try to write two separate queries.
Although, performing the query function in a loop may get you faster
results, but it will make your device constrained and heated.
5. Avoid Irrelevant
Passing of References
Basically, PHP has built
in the Shuffle() and sorts() methods. If you restore a shuffled
array, it will modify the inbuilt functions. Thus, you will loose the
originality of using these functions. Moreover, without any specific
needs, if you make any modifications to the original functions, they
are totally unacceptable. But with PHP advanced versions, you didn't
need to improve the functionality of a programme, as this version is
lightning fast, and comes with advanced features.
Conclusion
PHP latest version has
various flexible modifications that help the developers in advanced
programming. Although, most of the designers think that there is
nothing new in the latest versions of PHP, but this is not true. It
has various extensive features that make designing and development
work really simple.
