INTRODUCTION

PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a widely used, general-purpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. For this purpose, PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. As a general-purpose programming language, PHP code is processed by an interpreter application in command-line mode performing desired operating system operations and producing program output on its standard output channel.

It may also function as a graphical application. PHP is available as a processor for most modern web servers and as standalone interpreter on most operating systems and computing platforms.

PHP was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995 and has been in continuous development ever

since. The main implementation of PHP is now produced by The PHP Group and serves as the de

facto standard for PHP as there is no formal specification. PHP is free software released under

the PHP License.

INSTALLATIONAND

CONFIGURATION

Step 1: Download the latest Windows PHP Binaries (MSI file) from “http://www.php.net/get/php-5.2.4-win32-installer.msi/from/a/mirror” . I choose the eZNetworking mirror because it is the closest one to Malaysia. Choose a mirror that is nearer to your country for a faster file download. The latest PHP version that I downloaded is 5.2.4. Save the file to your Desktop.

Step 2: Right click on the file and click “Install“.

Step 3: Click “Next ” once the Welcome page is displayed.

Step 4: Select “I accept the license agreement” and click “Next “.

Step 5: Change your PHP installation path OR just accept the default path - C:\Program

Files\PHP\ and click “Next “.

Step 6: On the Web Server Setup screen, select the Apache 2.2.x Module and click

“Next “.

select-webserver-to-install-php-on-apache-2

Step 7: On the Apache Configuration Directory screen, browse for the Apache configuration

directory (conf) OR just enter C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf\ and

click “Next ” to proceed with the installation.

Step 8: For now, accept the default selection and click “Next”.

Step 9: Click “Install ” to install PHP 5 on Windows.

Step 10: Click “Finish ” once completed. PHP 5 is successfully installed.

Step 11: Start your Apache 2.2 server using the “Monitor Apache Servers” console (Start -> Apache

HTTP Servers 2.2.4 -> Monitor Apache Servers ). You can see that PHP was successfully installed by checking the Apache status at the bottom of the

console.

Testing PHP 5 Installation

Step 1: Open up your Windows Notepad. Type in “<?php phpinfo(); ?>” inside the file. Save this file as

“info.php” inside your Apache root directory, C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\

Apache2.2\htdocs .

Step 2: Open up your web browser. In the address bar, type in your web server domain name plus

info.php as the file name.Example: http://www.syahid.com/info.php . You

should get a PHP configuration page just like the one below.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Congratulations! You have successfully installed and test PHP 5 on Windows!and test PHP 5 on Windows!

CONFIGURATION

Configure PHP 5 to Work with MySQL with MySQL PHP Extension

Previously, we have installed PHP with minimal modules / extension. To add MySQL support to PHP, you need to change your PHP installation - by adding the MySQL extension on top of your PHP installation. Please make sure that your original PHP 5 MSI installer still remains at its original place .

Step 1: Open the Add / Remove Programs console via Windows Control Panel. Find the PHP 5.x.x entry and click “Change “.

Step 2: Click “Next ” once you are prompted the Welcome page.

Step 3: Click the “Change ” button to proceed.

Step 4: Select Apache 2.2.x as shown in the picture below. Click “Next ” once again.

Step 5: Select your Apache configuration directory (conf) - the directory where your httpd.conf resides.

Click “Next ” once done.

Step 6: On the “Choose items to install” screen, click on the plus (+) icon next to Extensions to expand the list.

click-plus-button-to-expand-extensions-part

Step 7: Select on the “X” next to “MySQL” and select “Entire feature will be installed on local hard drive”. Click “Next” again

Step 8: Click the “Change” button to save all the PHP configuration changes.

Step 9: Finally, restart your Apache 2.2 web server! You can check out that the MySQL extension support for PHP was successfully installed by checking out the info.php / index.php page that was created before.

47. Get uniqid

<?$id = uniqid("phpuser");

echo "$id";

?>

48. Use md5 function to encrypt text

<?php $val = "secret";

echo "Pre-hash string: $val <br />"; $hash_val = md5 ($val);

echo "Hashed outcome: $hash_val";?>

49. md5 and uniqid

<?$id = md5(uniqid(rand()));

echo "$id";

?>
