5 Points To Consider Before Using Every PHP Version upto PHP7

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.
