now a bit of PHP knowledge •
[email protected]
• twitter.com/kartones
AGENDA • The Goal • Shared Hosting to Tuenti-like scale
webs • Typical PHP • PHP Practices • Coding Practices • Web Practices
THE GOAL
THE REAL GOAL Avoid the PHP joke
THE REAL REAL GOAL Build quality PHP code
SHARED HOSTING Internet Frontend + DB
FIRST SPLIT Internet Frontend DB
MORE FRONTENDS Internet Frontends DB
CACHING TIME Internet Frontends DB Cache
MORE CACHING Internet Frontends DB Cache
MASTER/SLAVE DBS Internet Frontends DBs Cache
TUENTI (OVERVIEW) Internet Farm 1 Farm 2 Farm N Others
Frontends Caches DBs
TYPICAL PHP •HTML + PHP script blocks + DB Queries
•If lucky, separated into ¨functions¨ and templates (PHPBB, Wordpress…) •No Object Orientation
TYPICAL PHP News since your last visit: <ul> <? $e
= $_POST['email']; $news = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news WHERE email='{$e}'"); […] foreach($news as $newsItem) { ?> <li><?=$newsItem[0]?></li> <? } ?> </ul>
TYPICAL PHP News since your last visit: <ul> <? $e
= $_POST['email']; $news = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news WHERE email='{$e}'"); […] foreach($news as $newsItem) { ?> <li><?=$newsItem[0]?></li> <? } ?> </ul>

TYPICAL PHP News since your last visit: <ul> <? $e
= $_POST['email']; $news = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news WHERE email='{$e}'"); […] foreach($news as $newsItem) { ?> <li><?=$newsItem[0]?></li> <? } ?> </ul>
TYPICAL PHP function crop_string($string) { if (strlen($string) > 30) {
$string = substr($string, 0, 30) . “…”; } return $string; } $text = crop_string(“developers,developers,developers,developers”);
TYPICAL PHP class StringHelper { const CROP_ELLIPSIS = ‘…’; const
CROP_DEFAULT_SIZE = 30; public static function Crop($text, $cropLength = self::CROP_DEFAULT_SIZE) { if (mb_strlen($text) > $cropLength) { $croppedText = substr($text,0,$cropLength) . Self::CROP_ELLIPSIS; } else { $croppedText = $text; } return $croppedText; } $text = StringHelper::Crop(“developers,developers,developers,developers”);
PHP PRACTICES •PHP 5.3 (or the newest stable version) •Object
Orientation •Namespaces / structured source code tree
PHP PRACTICES •Layered code •MVC is typical and good Controller
Model View
PHP PRACTICES •Breaking loops is ugly for($i = 0; $i
< count($items); $i++) { if ($items[$i] == searchedItem) { break; } }
PHP PRACTICES •Break-free $found = false; for($i = 0; $i
< count($items) && !$found; $i++) { if ($items[$i] == searchedItem) { $found = true; } }
PHP PRACTICES • Try to keep memory usage low •Less
memory, more concurrent PHP processes • unset() • ini_set(“memory_limit”,”8M”);
PHP PRACTICES •Singleton in PHP != Singleton in Java/C#/C++ •Same
PHP execution = same singleton •2 page requests = 2 different singletons •Terribly dangerous in tests •Implement a ¨flushSingleton()¨ static method
PHP PRACTICES •Homogeneous code •Comments •@author tag (Sign your code!)
•Proper variables casing & naming •Good source tree = easy to guess where to find a class •Avoids personal bad practices
PHP PRACTICES • Avoid non testeable objects class Game {
private $player1 = new GamePlayer(); private $player2 = new GamePlayer(); public function Play() { // Logic that uses $player1 & $player2 } }
PHP PRACTICES • Create testeable objects class Game { private
$player1 = null; private $player2 = null; public function __construct(IGameEntity $playerA, IGameEntity $playerB) { $this->player1 = $playerA; $this->player2 = $playerB; } public function Play() { // Logic that uses $player1 & $player2 } }
PHP PRACTICES • Defensive Programming • defined() • isset() •
class_exists() • method_exists()
CODING PRACTICES Learn & use Source Code Control •Distributed •Best
options: SVN,Git, Mercurial •Always linked to a ticket control system •Learn to branch, diff, merge, resolve conflicts •Hard at first, pays off in big projects
CODING PRACTICES Learn & do Testing •Unit tests •Test DB
data (Fixtures) •Mock Objects •Integration tests •Acceptance tests
WEB PRACTICES •Learn Kung-fu: •HTTP protocol basics •Some Javascript •Minimal
CSS •Robots.txt •Favicon.ico •Sitemap.xml •Cookies •Encoding •Web Security basics
WEB PRACTICES •Minimize HTML, CSS, JS •Google closure Compiler •YuiCompressor
•Firebug •Use tools to detect improvements: •PageSpeed (Firefox/Chrome) •YSlow (Firefox) •MySpace Performance Tracker (IE)
WEB PRACTICES •Use the client to store data •Cookies (4KB
max) •LocalStorage (HTML5) •Global scoped Javascript variables (AJAX only) •Javascript Datasources (Tuenti AJAX)
WEB PRACTICES •If you don’t need realtime, be lazy •Lazy
loading •Lazy deletion •Job queues instead of realtime operations
