How to Debug PHP Web Apps using Docker Container?

For Software Development, Debugging is an essential task. Every time PHP doesn’t offer out of the box debugging experience. Developers need to do extra configuration to make debugging possible with PHP stack. This is one of the biggest hurdles for PHP developers especially the beginners.

A good alternative is to use a professional PHP stack like Zend Server that is pre configured with XDebug as well as Zend Debugger. Here, we will learn about a new technology called Docker that makes debugging PHP web apps easy.

All about New Docker Technology:

Docker Container for Debug PHP

Docker is a new technology that offers a proper solution to debug PHP apps using a docker container that is developed from a well defined image of a PHP stack with a debug server. These images are available in a Docker Hub.

PHP developers having a basic understanding of Docker can easily understand this technology and use it to debug their web apps irrespective of the need to know its installation and configuration for debugging server in PHP Stack.

Here, we have mentioned the technical run of getting an image from Docker Hub, running a container and then debugging PHP Code. This entire process includes Zend Studio as well as new Docker Tooling.

Technical Run of Docker Container:

  1. Installing the docker Engine: The first and foremost condition is to install and configure the Docker Engine. This must be enabled to get the images from Docker Hub as well as run the container. The complete installation guide is available on Docker Website.
  2. Installing Docker Support in Zend Studio: After fulfilling the first condition; i.e. installing the Docker engine then comes the time to install Docker Tooling in Zend Studio. This is an extra feature that is available under Enhancements category on the Welcome Screen.

    The Docker Tooling contains several different views that can be used to manage Docker images and containers and these views are as follows:

    • Docker Explorer
    • Docker Images
    • Docker Container.
  3. Joining Docker Tooling with Docker Daemon: To carry out this; just click on the link available in the Docker Explorer view while the wizard is launched for developing a new docker connection. Use Test Connection and in case it fails then custom configuration must be provided.
  4. Get the image from Docker Hub: After installing Docker Engine as well as docker support and joining docker tooling with Docker daemon, now is the time to get the images from Docker Hub.

    This can be done easily using Pull image tool button in the Docker Images view. This will show the image that we need to pick and then once the image is added, click the “Finish button” this will add the image to the local machine. Once the image is pulled it will be visible in Docker Explorer and Docker Images views.

  5. Configuring PHP Server to show Docker Container: Here, the PHP tooling needs to be modified in the Zend Studio to run and Debug PHP code in the Docker container. The PHP tooling uses reflection of PHP Servers to deploy, run and debug PHP code.

    With PHP server creation Wizard, one needs to select Generic PHP server view and change the following settings:

    • Proper name to the Server must be given
    • The Base URL must be “http://:; host represents the host where docker engine is running and is the port that is used to map to the containers’ HTTP port to the local system.
    • The Document root must be set to the folder to which the container’s document root is to be mapped using local file system.

Once it is done then develop a PHP project and then debug it. If the Debugging is successful, the entire process is a success.

Today, we learnt how to debug PHP Web App with the use of predefined Docker images in order to establish complex PHP stack environments. For more such guidance you can get in touch with PHP developers at Softqube Technologies, PHP Development Company in India.

What Is More Preferable: PHP Or Node.Js?

When it comes to development; PHP is the one that is most preferable. It has become another name for development. However, there are several other programming languages that can be used for development purpose.

Today, in this blog post from Softqube Technologies; PHP Development Company, we will discuss about two of the programming languages i.e. PHP and Node.js and decide which one is the most preferable?

PHP Vs. Node.js:

  • Creating a Web Page: To test; which one is more suitable to develop a web page. We first tried it on PHP and then Node.js. Here, we found that PHP excels as more of the hosts have made it easy.

    This means today maximum number of web hosting platforms easily support PHP. This is very easy for those who are new to the programming field. On the other hand, if you wish to develop local page then for PHP; some server stack is needed and for Node; it is necessary to get Node installed.

    But again here; PHP is very simple while the later one is a little bit complex.

  • Support & Assistance: Even if you are an expert programmer; you may face some issues during development process. No surprises, here also PHP wins.

    The reason; PHP has a wide community which makes it easy for developers to get quick solutions to the problems thus making the development process quick and simple. Talking about Node.js; we will say it is yet developing and to be honest; very less assistance and support is available.

    So, beginners please avoid using Node till you have good grip on coding.

  • Language Syntax: This showcases the simplicity of Syntax of both the languages. Fortunately here, Node.js wins.

    So, why PHP lacks here? Yes, PHP has some issues but these are rectified quickly and with the new release many of the issues will be removed. If we talk about Java script then here the server environment differs from that of the client.

    New Syntax cannot be used in the browser and this is like switching among the languages. The new ECMA Script 2015 will offer some new amazing features to the language. JavaScript is powerful as well as flexible and can get easily adjusted to several different programming styles.

  • Technological Environment: Here, we will throw a glance on how technologies can be implemented using PHP as well as Node.js. When it comes to web development; there’s no better answer but PHP wins.

    PHP has several tools for desktop development. But these are rarely used by developers. However, the command line aspect in PHP is used properly. If we discuss about node.js then its several features like as Speed, scalability as well as low resource usage makes it well suited for many other kinds of applications.

    Node.js also has introduced projects like as NW.js that is used to write native apps using HTML as well as JavaScript.

Wind Up

From the above discussion; we can say that PHP is and will always be the best programming language. Yes, JavaScript is also good but most of the developers prefer PHP. PHP also has its limitations however its features are enough to cover them all.

We don’t stress on using PHP but we feel that yes it is one of the languages that is useful to all beginners as well as experts

Can PHP be easily accessible by Visually Impaired Programmers?

When we talk about programming; we assume that it is a difficult task. If we normal people consider it as difficult task then it is a thought worth thinking upon as to how it can be accessed by those who are disabled ones?

While discussing about such topics, disabled people are generally ignored. They are just seen with pitiful eyes. But, these people can also do wonders in the programming field if they get a perfect platform to showcase their abilities.

For applications that need proper employment, this proves to be very true. It’s not necessary for everyone to have these IDE tools however these definitely increase the productivity and it’s mandatory for disabled ones to be fast and quicker than everyone else.

In this technical world, no one has the chance to enjoy leisure time. So, be it a blind or a well sighted person; everyone has to give equal performance. How can IDE be useful to blind to boost up their productivity, learning process as well as workflow?

Every IDE tool must have the below mentioned features:

  • Easy Accessibility including menus and title bars.
  • Easily accessible code completion, PHP documentation as well as pop ups.
  • Easy community engagement.

Let’s discuss about some of the IDE tools:

  • PHP Storm: It is one of the best IDEs which offers instant support to new frameworks and technologies like as Laravel and HHVM. It has very amazing features like as renaming, refactoring and moving which take a lot of details.

    Unfortunately, these are not easily accessible. Sometimes, even there’s a difficulty in accessing the main window and hence if the window is inaccessible then even other features lack accessibility. Even there are no updates regarding improvement in accessibility.

  • Sublime Text: This is a multi platform lightweight IDE which can be easily modified as per the need with the assistance of innumerable plugins. But when it comes to accessibility then this tool too can be considered as improper.

    As none of its features are quickly accessible by screen readers and even when questioned about this, none of the team members offer proper responses.

  • NetBeans: This one is an IDE that is most popular for developing snippets as well as its “quick fix” functionality that helps you to carry out many things automatically. It’s bug reporting is also very good.

    Talking about its accessibility, as compared to other too; this one seems to be better. The code navigation seems easy along with extra keystrokes that smoothly maintain the reader’s focus to the navigator.

    Very soon, this will have some extra accessibility features as well.

    Php Web Development
  • Other IDEs like as Zend Studio, Eclipse PDT and more: PHPStorm and others are better than these IDEs. But when it comes to the ease of access then Zend Studio is more preferable as compared to PHPStorm.

    When it comes to accessibility then the code editor window and other windows are easily accessible. Further, it also offers easy access to code assist suggestions and the documentation.

    Among all the other IDEs, Zend Studio and Eclipse PDT are the most accessible ones. For Eclipse PDT, accessibility is a very serious issue and constant efforts are made by them to improve it.

    For visually impaired people; Eclipse PDT is the recommended one.

Wind Up

We know PHP is a very well known programming language but when it comes to its accessibility then it is not very useful. The above mentioned PHP tools are measured based on their accessibility and here Eclipse IDE are the recommended ones.

Tips to reduce Web Page Load times:

reduce-your-web-page-load-times

  1. Know the present website speed: Before actually progressing ahead to reduce website speed, first of all check the current website speed. This will show you what to improve and how to improve and makes sure that any changes you make will definitely reduce the page load times.

    In order to measure the current website speed you can take help of some tools which are as follows:

    • Pingdom
    • Page Test
    • Web Page Test
  2. Enhance your image Quality: It is necessary to know the proper file format that can be used for images in your website. One can change to different file format that is required; this can sometimes reduce the image file size.

    Few file formats that can be used:

    • GIF: Perfect for logos
    • JPEG: Perfect for images with several colours and details such as product images
    • PNG: This can be used when high quality transparent images are needed.
  3. Avoid Scaling down images: Never think of scaling down images like as using a larger image than needed and then reducing its height and size as needed. Try to use tools like Photoshop or any of the web based image editors if you wish to resize the image as needed.

    The less the size of the image, the less the website’s load time.

  4. Optimize your content: Load time can be reduced to an extent if one optimizes the website content in proper manner. If you are using HTTP compression then your entire web page data is transferred over a single small file.

    One can optimize JavaScript as well as CSS files by integrating them each other as well as reducing the source code.

  5. Reduce HTTP Requests: Sometimes when you visit a new web page, you can see most of the page loading time is spent in just downloading components of that particular page. By reducing the number of requests that a web page makes, it will get loaded faster.

    Make use of CSS sprites to integrate several images and reduce the HTTP requests for the images.

PHP Web Development: PHP 7 Beta Released!

PHP is one of the most popular coding languages that is preferred by most of the web developers due to its flexibility as well as ease of understanding. Recently, the new PHP version PHP 7 Beta has released which has greatly improved the performance and provides consistent 64 bit support.

Here, if we talk about language then a null coalescing operator is added along with a proper comparison operator. Further, support for other various types of declarations is also available. If we talk about PHP’s previous version PHP 6.x then maximum votes were for PHP 7 as compared to PHP 6.x because the later one failed completely.

Talking about, PHP 7 release; it is still in the development previews and php.net announcement of beta shows that it is a development preview that is not yet used in production. This means basic changes will no longer be accepted.

Along with this release, 200 or more commits with nearby 25 reported bug fixes as well as security, stability and other such improvements can be made. According to Zend Technologies, that led the PHP 7 next generation project; PHP 7 is going to provide huge performance gains.

These can vary from 25% to 70% on real world apps as well as upgrading PHP without changing a single line of code. This new PHP version also has decreased many of the requirements around two thirds of original ones.

PHP7 Beta Released

This means you will get three times more as compared to older PHP version 5.6. The new operator has been transformed into Spaceship operator. This can be used for various comparisons especially when dealing with sorting.
This is very similar to strcmp() or version_compare() in behaviour. This can be used on all generic PHP values with same semantics like as <, <=, ==, >=, >.

Also, this offers support for return type as well as scalar type declarations where developers will easily be able to show the kind of return that is expected by any function. This is similar to argument type hints.
So, now one can easily be aware about the strings, floats, ints or bools that are to be passed or returned. The second beta is said to be released on July 23 where as the final release is expected on November 12.

Features of PHP 7 Beta 1:

  • Get improved performance, twice the speed of PHP 5.6.
  • Constant 64 bit support.
  • Fatal errors have now become exceptions.
  • Unnecessary and unwanted SAPIs as well as extensions are removed.
  • Introducing new combined comparison operator (<->)
  • Return type declarations
  • Anonymous classes

For detailed information about its features as well as its changes, one can read the NEWS file or the upgrading file that includes the entire list of upgraded notes. If you wish to download this beta 1 then it is available at windows.php.net.

eCommerce Industry in 2015

Day by Day, eCommerce industry is growing by leaps and bounds. But have we ever found where it has reached and what’s its present condition? We thought it is now time to take a glance on the state of eCommerce Industry at present.

This will help business owners to identify the present state and then evaluate where they are actually lacking and upto what extent they have grown. Once this is known, then it will be easy for business owners to take necessary steps either to make improvements or progress ahead whatever the situation is.

So, let’s take a look at the progress of eCommerce Industry:

At present, India gets investment from some well known eCommerce players such as Amazon. The reason for this is quick progress in eCommerce sector that shows that returns on investment can be higher if investments are maximized.

Much of the market share is remaining to be occupied. Consumers wish to get the products available 24/7. Talking about the online players, Flipkart is the major eCommerce player that has the maximum market share and as per the latest news, it will divert to app only purchases effective from September 2015.

eCommerce Industry
Rest of the retailers are still on the way to progress and keep on expanding as well as investing on their online business. By 2020, this sector will grow to 3% which today is only 5%. So, how this growth is possible?

Growth in eCommerce Sector till 5% by 2020:

Factors that are responsible for this growth are as follows:

  • Increase in usage of Smart Phones.
  • Growth in number of middle class sectors
  • Purchasing power of young generation
  • More products to be available online
  • Discounted Products
  • Availability of easy returns and product exchanges.

Some traditional eCommerce stores don’t offer these returns and exchanges and so this is one of the major things that must be borne in mind by retailers if they really wish to grow.

On the other hand, low credit ownerships can hinder the eCommerce growth. The reason; while making online payments credit cards are widely used. Only Indian customers prefer Cash on Delivery for online purchases.

EMI or we can say instalment payment method is also highly preferable in India. Certain eCommerce retailers have their own payment gateways that work similar to PayPal and other such well known ones.

How Mobile Commerce can impact the eCommerce Growth?

As mentioned earlier, smartphone usage is one of the factors responsible for eCommerce growth. So, how does mobile commerce directly affect the eCommerce growth?

We can see that almost 90% of people use internet via their mobile devices. Online retailers have a perfect mobile responsive website while some also possess a mobile app that make it convenient for people to carry out online purchases.

Additional eCommerce Trends:

Apart from those currently available in the market, there are other trends that affect the eCommerce industry in India. Any online business owner willing to grow in eCommerce field must be aware of these trends which are as follows:

  • Keeping a track of customers who use their website regularly for online shopping. These consumers must be rewarded with gifts or additional coupon codes.
  • Rewards or loyalty points must be arranged so as to get benefitted from competitive advantage.
  • Only few payment cards provide Cash back offers. Hence, if you provide offers on certain debit/credit cards like as CitiBank, HSBC and ICICI can help you to increase your online business.
