WEB DESIGNER DEPOTS

I recently had interest in generating a React-based web app using PHP. To be able to do such an amazing thing you first need to install the PHP extension V8Js. You’ll find below the process I followed to install it on my Mac: First install the engine: brew install v8 Install dependency for the PECL Extension: brew install autoconf Update Pear: cd /usr/lib/php sudo php install-pear-nozlib.phar Then edit your php.ini by adding the following line next existing include_path if not already there include_path = ".:/usr/lib/php/pear" Update/Upgrade Pear / PECL sudo pear channel-update pear.php.net sudo pecl channel-update pecl.php.net sudo pear upgrade-all Grab V8Js PECL Extension from github & install it cd ~ mkdir tmp && cd tmp git clone git@github.com:preillyme/v8js.git cd v8js phpize ./configure CXXFLAGS = "-Wno-c++11-narrowing" make make test # if this step fails you can try make install anyway, should work. make ins

Extract is your friend.  Ever been in the situation where you need to say something like: <?php $name = $array['name']; $surname = $array['surname']; $message = $array['message']; Then you may want to recall that you can use extract() to do the same. Put simply, extract will remove the work behind this. In this case, saying: <?php extract($array); Will automatically make $name = $array['name']; So, you can say "hello ".$name." ".$surname." Without do all of the declarations. Of course, you always need to be mindful of validation and filtering, but there is a right way and a wrong way to do anything with PHP.
