In this lesson, we learn how to create user account registration form with PHP validation rules, upload profile avatar image and insert user data in MySQL database. We will then retrieve the information from the database and display it on the user profile welcome page. Here is what the welcome page is going to look like:

Setting up Form CSS and HTML

First, go ahead and copy the HTML source from below codepen and place the code in a file called form.php. Also create another file named form.css in the same directory and copy and paste all of the CSS code from the codepen below into it:

Once you"ve saved form.php and form.css, you may go ahead and run form.php to see what the form looks like. It should look exactly the same as the one showing in the "Result" tab from the codepen above.

Creating the Database and Table

Before we start adding PHP code to our form, let"s go ahead and create the database with a table which will store our registered users information in it. Below in the SQL script to create the database "accounts" and table "users":

CREATE DATABASE accounts; CREATE TABLE `accounts`.`users` (`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `username` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, `email` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, `password` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, `avatar` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`));

Below is a complete code with error checking for connecting to MySQL database and running above SQL statements to create the database and users table:

//connection variables $host = "localhost"; $user = "root"; $password = "mypass123"; //create mysql connection $mysqli = new mysqli($host,$user,$password); if ($mysqli->connect_errno) { printf("Connection failed: %s\n", $mysqli->connect_error); die(); } //create the database if (!$mysqli->query("CREATE DATABASE accounts2")) { printf("Errormessage: %s\n", $mysqli->error); } //create users table with all the fields $mysqli->query(" CREATE TABLE `accounts2`.`users` (`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `username` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, `email` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, `password` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, `avatar` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`));") or die($mysqli->error);

With our HTML, CSS and the database table in place, we"re now reading to start working on our form. The first step is to create a place for error messages to show up and then we"ll start writing some form validation.

Starting New Session for Error Messages

Open up the form.php and add the following lines to it at the very top, make sure to use the php opening and closing tags (I have not included the html part of form.php to keep things clean).

We have created new session because we"re going to need to access $_SESSION["message"] on the "welcome.php" page after user successfully registers. MySQL connection has also been created right away, so we can work with the database later on.

We also need to print out $_SESSION["message"] on the current page. From the beginning the message is set to "" (empty string) which is what we want, so nothing will be printed at this point. Let"s go ahead and add the message inside the proper DIV tag:

Creating Validation Rules

This form already comes with some validation rules, the keyword "required" inside the HTML input tags, is checking to make sure the field is not empty, so we don"t have to worry about empty fields. Also, by setting input type to "email and "password", HTML5 validates the form for proper email and password formatting, so we don"t need to create any rules for those fields either.

However, we still need to write some validation rules, to make sure the passwords are matching, the avatar file is in fact an image and make sure the user has been added to our database.

Let"s create another file and call it validate.php to keep things well organized. We"ll also include this file from our form.php.

The first thing we"re going to do inside validate.php is to make sure the form is being submitted.

/* validate.php */ //the form has been submitted with post method if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") { }

Then we"ll check if the password and confirm password are equal to each other

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") { //check if two passwords are equal to each other if ($_POST["password"] == $_POST["confirmpassword"]) { } }

Working with Super Global Variables

Note how we used super global variables $_SERVER and $_POST to get the information we needed. The keys names inside the $_POST variable is available because we used method="post" to submit our form.

The key names are all the named HTML input fields with attribute name (eg: name="password", name="confirmpassword"):

To clarify a bit more, here is what the $_POST would look like (assuming all the fields in the form have been filled out) if we used a print_r($_POST) function on it, followed by die(); to terminate the script right after printing it. This is a good way of debugging your script and seeing what"s going on:

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") { print_r($_POST); die(); /*output: Array ( => clevertechie => [email protected] => mypass123 => mypass123 => Register) */

Now we"re going to get the rest of our submitted values from $_POST and get them properly formatted so they can be inserted to our MySQL database table

//the form has been submitted with post if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") { if ($_POST["password"] == $_POST["confirmpassword"]) { //define other variables with submitted values from $_POST $username = $mysqli->real_escape_string($_POST["username"]); $email = $mysqli->real_escape_string($_POST["email"]); //md5 hash password for security $password = md5($_POST["password"]); //path were our avatar image will be stored $avatar_path = $mysqli->real_escape_string("images/".$_FILES["avatar"]["name"]); } }

In the above code, we used real_escape_string() method to make sure our username, email and avatar_path are formatted properly to be inserted as a valid SQL string into the database. We also used md5() hash function to create a hash string out of password for security.

How File Uploading Works

Also, notice the new super global variable $_FILES, which holds the information about our image, which is the avatar being uploaded from the user"s computer. The $_FILES variable is available because we used enctype="multipart/form-data" in our form:

Here is the output if we use the print_r($_FILES) followed by die(); just like we did for the $_POST variable:

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") { print_r($_FILES); die(); /*output: Array ( => Array ( => guldan.png => image/png => C:\Windows\Temp\php18D8.tmp => 0 => 98823)) */ //this is how we"re able to access the image name: $_FILES["avatar"]["name"]; //guldan.png

When the file is first uploaded, using the post method, it will be stored in a temporary directory. That directory can be accessed with $_FILES[ "avatar "][ "tmp_name" ] which is "C:\Windows\Temp\php18D8.tmp" from the output above.

We can then copy that file from the temporary directory, to the directory that we want which is $avatar_path. But before we copy the file, we should check if the file is in fact image, for that we"ll check another key called from our $_FILES variable.

//path were our avatar image will be stored $avatar_path = $mysqli->real_escape_string("images/".$_FILES["avatar"]["name"]); //make sure the file type is image if (preg_match("!image!",$_FILES["avatar"]["type"])) { //copy image to images/ folder if (copy($_FILES["avatar"]["tmp_name"], $avatar_path)) { } }

The preg_match function matches the image from the [ "type" ] key of $_FILES array, we then use copy() function to copy our image file which takes in two parameters. The first one is the source file path which is our ["tmp_name"] directory and the second one is the destination path which is our "images/guldan.png" file path.

Saving User Data in a MySQL Database

We can now set some session variables which we"ll need on the next page, which are username and avatar_path, and we"ll also create the SQL query which will insert all the submitted data into MySQL database:

if (copy($_FILES["avatar"]["tmp_name"], $avatar_path)) { //set session variables to display on welcome page $_SESSION["username"] = $username; $_SESSION["avatar"] = $avatar_path; //create SQL query string for inserting data into the database $sql = "INSERT INTO users (username, email, password, avatar) " . "VALUES ("$username", "$email", "$password", "$avatar_path")"; }

The final step is turn our query, using the query() method and check if it"s successful. If it is, that means the user data has been saved in the "users" table successfully! We then set the final session variable $_SESSION[ "message" ] and redirect the user to the welcome.php page using the header() function:

//check if mysql query is successful if ($mysqli->query($sql) === true) { $_SESSION[ "message" ] = "Registration succesful! Added $username to the database!"; //redirect the user to welcome.php header("location: welcome.php"); }

That"s pretty much all we need for the validation, we just need to add all the "else" keywords in case things don"t go as planned from all the if statements we have created. Here is what the full code for validate.php looks so far:

/* validate.php */ //the form has been submitted with post if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") { //two passwords are equal to each other if ($_POST["password"] == $_POST["confirmpassword"]) { //define other variables with submitted values from $_POST $username = $mysqli->real_escape_string($_POST["username"]); $email = $mysqli->real_escape_string($_POST["email"]); //md5 hash password for security $password = md5($_POST["password"]); //path were our avatar image will be stored $avatar_path = $mysqli->real_escape_string("images/".$_FILES["avatar"]["name"]); //make sure the file type is image if (preg_match("!image!",$_FILES["avatar"]["type"])) { //copy image to images/ folder if (copy($_FILES["avatar"]["tmp_name"], $avatar_path)){ //set session variables to display on welcome page $_SESSION["username"] = $username; $_SESSION["avatar"] = $avatar_path; //insert user data into database $sql = "INSERT INTO users (username, email, password, avatar) " . "VALUES ("$username", "$email", "$password", "$avatar_path")"; //check if mysql query is successful if ($mysqli->query($sql) === true){ $_SESSION["message"] = "Registration successful!" . "Added $username to the database!"; //redirect the user to welcome.php header("location: welcome.php"); } } } } }

Setting Session Error Messages When Things Go Wrong

Let"s go ahead and add all the else statements at once where we simply set the $_SESSION[ "message" ] error messages which will be printed out when any of our if statements fail. Add the following code right after the last if statement where we checked for successful mysqli query and within the last curly bracket like this:

If ($mysqli->query($sql) === true){ $_SESSION["message"] = "Registration succesful!" . "Added $username to the database!"; header("location: welcome.php"); } else { $_SESSION["message"] = "User could not be added to the database!"; } $mysqli->close(); } else { $_SESSION["message"] = "File upload failed!"; } } else { $_SESSION["message"] = "Please only upload GIF, JPG or PNG images!"; } } else { $_SESSION["message"] = "Two passwords do not match!"; } } //if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")

The session message will then display the error message in the div tag where we put our $_SESSION["message"] if you recall:

Below is an example of what the error message is going to look like when two passwords don"t match. Feel free to play around with it to trigger other error messages:

Creating User Profile Welcome Page

We"re now done with the validate.php. The final step is to create welcome.php page which will display the username, avatar image and some users that have already been registered previously along with their own user names and mini avatar thumbnails. Here is what the complete welcome.php should look like, I will explain parts of it that may be confusing:

">
Welcome query($sql); ?>

All registered users: fetch_assoc()){ echo "

".$row["username"]."
"; echo "

"; } ?>

The $_SESSION variable part from above should be easy to understand, we simply transfer over the variables from our validate.php page to this welcome.php page, if you"re still confused by that, please check out page for complete break down.

Working with MySQL Result Object

Whenever we use "SELECT" statement in our SQL query and then run that SQL with $mysqli->query($sql) command, the returned value is a MySQL result object. Once we have the result object, there are a few methods that become available so we can further start working with the data.

$sql = "SELECT username, avatar FROM users"; $result = $mysqli->query($sql); //$result = mysqli_result object

One of those methods is $result->fetch_assoc() which fetches the current row and returns an array with all the row data. So we"re putting that in a conditional expression, which will become false when it reaches the last row in the result set, and storing the returned value from $result->fetch_assoc() inside the $row variable.

//returns associative array of fetched row while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()){ echo "

".$row["username"]."
"; echo "

"; }

Conclusion

And that"s how we"re able to access $row["username"] and $row["avatar"] from the associative array that is being returned, of the users that have already been registered previously and live in our users database table!

The profile welcome page should now look very similar to the one shown in the very beginning of this lesson, and the form is now complete, good job! Please post any questions you may have in the comments below.

User registration or sign up is an integral part of many web applications and it is critical to get it right for the success of the application. It is the starting point of user engagement with your application.

It should be as simple as possible with best UI / UX. Implementing user registration functionality using PHP is a simple task and I will walk you through the steps with example in this article.

What is inside?

How this PHP user registration example works?

This example code can be separated into 3 parts.

Getting user information via a HTML form.
Validating user submitted information on form submit.
Database handling to save registered user to the database after validation.

The third step will be executed after ensuring that the user is not added already. This data uniqueness validation will be performed based on their email and username entered by them.

During registration we generally collect user information, who are ready to register with our application. Some of them will be mandatory and some of them will be optional.

So, this functionality may also include validation part to ensure about the non-emptiness and the format of the user data. The validation could be done either in client-side or server side.

Having validation at server-side is always better. You can choose to have it in client-side also for the ease of use of the users. But having at the server-side is not optional and a minimum requirement.

File structure

HTML form to allow user to register

In this example, the registration form contains the fields Username, Name(Display Name), Password and Email. It also has the Confirm Password field to let the user to reenter his password for the confirmation. These two passwords will be compared later at the time of a .

By submitting this form, the user is expected to agree the terms and conditions. So a checkbox field is added before the Register button for ensuring it.

PHP User Registration Form

"; } ?>

Username

Password

Confirm Password

Display Name

I accept terms and conditions

And the styles are,

Body { font-family: Arial; color: #333; font-size: 0.95em; } .form-head { color: #191919; font-weight: normal; font-weight: 400; margin: 0; text-align: center; font-size: 1.8em; } .error-message { padding: 7px 10px; background: #fff1f2; border: #ffd5da 1px solid; color: #d6001c; border-radius: 4px; margin: 30px 0px 10px 0px; } .success-message { padding: 7px 10px; background: #cae0c4; border: #c3d0b5 1px solid; color: #027506; border-radius: 4px; margin: 30px 0px 10px 0px; } .demo-table { background: #ffffff; border-spacing: initial; margin: 15px auto; word-break: break-word; table-layout: auto; line-height: 1.8em; color: #333; border-radius: 4px; padding: 20px 40px; width: 380px; border: 1px solid; border-color: #e5e6e9 #dfe0e4 #d0d1d5; } .demo-table .label { color: #888888; } .demo-table .field-column { padding: 15px 0px; } .demo-input-box { padding: 13px; border: #CCC 1px solid; border-radius: 4px; width: 100%; } .btnRegister { padding: 13px; background-color: #5d9cec; color: #f5f7fa; cursor: pointer; border-radius: 4px; width: 100%; border: #5791da 1px solid; font-size: 1.1em; } .response-text { max-width: 380px; font-size: 1.5em; text-align: center; background: #fff3de; padding: 42px; border-radius: 3px; border: #f5e9d4 1px solid; font-family: arial; line-height: 34px; margin: 15px auto; } .terms { margin-bottom: 5px; }

How to validate user information on form submit

A server-side form validation script is added in this example for validating the user registration data. This PHP validation script will be called on submitting the registration form.

This script validates all form fields to check the non-emptiness for each field. Then it validates the user email format using PHP filter_var() function.

As the registration includes password confirmation feature, the password comparison will take place at this part of this example.

Finally, the validation script will check if the user accepts term and condition by checking the appropriate box on the form.

Once all the validation completed by returning boolean true, then the actual registration process will take place.

Function validateMember() { $valid = true; $errorMessage = array(); foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) { if (empty($_POST[$key])) { $valid = false; } } if($valid == true) { if ($_POST["password"] != $_POST["confirm_password"]) { $errorMessage = "Passwords should be same."; $valid = false; } if (! isset($error_message)) { if (! filter_var($_POST["userEmail"], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { $errorMessage = "Invalid email address."; $valid = false; } } if (! isset($error_message)) { if (! isset($_POST["terms"])) { $errorMessage = "Accept terms and conditions."; $valid = false; } } } else { $errorMessage = "All fields are required."; } if ($valid == false) { return $errorMessage; } return; }

PHP MySQL code to access database to save registered user

Server-side user form validation

This is the PHP entry point to handle all the server-side script to validate form and to handle database operations based on the validation result.

validateMember($username, $displayName, $password, $email); if (empty($errorMessage)) { $memberCount = $member->isMemberExists($username, $email); if ($memberCount == 0) { $insertId = $member->insertMemberRecord($username, $displayName, $password, $email); if (! empty($insertId)) { header("Location: thankyou.php"); } } else { $errorMessage = "User already exists."; } } } ?>

Check if user already exists

The isMemberExists() function is used to check the user data uniqueness based on their email and the username. If the entered username or email there exists in the user database, then the registration process will be stopped by returning and acknowledgement.

This acknowledgement will notify that the “user already exists”. The code is,

Function isMemberExists($username, $email) { $query = "select * FROM registered_users WHERE user_name = ? OR email = ?"; $paramType = "ss"; $paramArray = array($username, $email); $memberCount = $this->ds->numRows($query, $paramType, $paramArray); return $memberCount; }

Insert member data to the database

If it returns 0 then it means that there is no such users exist with the email or the username entered. And so, the registration data will be inserted to the database. The following code shows the member insert method.

Function insertMemberRecord($username, $displayName, $password, $email) { $passwordHash = md5($password); $query = "INSERT INTO registered_users (user_name, display_name, password, email) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)"; $paramType = "ssss"; $paramArray = array($username, $displayName, $passwordHash, $email); $insertId = $this->ds->insert($query, $paramType, $paramArray); return $insertId; }

DataSource.php

This is the generic data source class in PHP to perform database operations. It includes functions to connect database and execute various queries to get database result, row count, execute insert and more.

This datasource class is generic and kept as simple as possible. It is efficient and I use it in my most of the micro projects and tutorials. You are free to download and use it.

Important thing is never forget to use the Prepared Statements . It helps you to safeguard from SQL injection attacks and it is the first step in terms of implementing security in a web application.

conn = $this->getConnection(); } /** * If connection object is needed use this method and get access to it. * Otherwise, use the below methods for insert / update / etc. * * @return \mysqli */ public function getConnection() { $conn = new \mysqli(self::HOST, self::USERNAME, self::PASSWORD, self::DATABASENAME); if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { trigger_error("Problem with connecting to database."); } $conn->set_charset("utf8"); return $conn; } /** * To get database results * @param string $query * @param string $paramType * @param array $paramArray * @return array */ public function select($query, $paramType="", $paramArray=array()) { $stmt = $this->conn->prepare($query); if(!empty($paramType) && !empty($paramArray)) { $this->bindQueryParams($sql, $paramType, $paramArray); } $stmt->execute(); $result = $stmt->get_result(); if ($result->num_rows > 0) { while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { $resultset = $row; } } if (! empty($resultset)) { return $resultset; } } /** * To insert * @param string $query * @param string $paramType * @param array $paramArray * @return int */ public function insert($query, $paramType, $paramArray) { print $query; $stmt = $this->conn->prepare($query); $this->bindQueryParams($stmt, $paramType, $paramArray); $stmt->execute(); $insertId = $stmt->insert_id; return $insertId; } /** * To execute query * @param string $query * @param string $paramType * @param array $paramArray */ public function execute($query, $paramType="", $paramArray=array()) { $stmt = $this->conn->prepare($query); if(!empty($paramType) && !empty($paramArray)) { $this->bindQueryParams($stmt, $paramType="", $paramArray=array()); } $stmt->execute(); } /** * 1. Prepares parameter binding * 2. Bind prameters to the sql statement * @param string $stmt * @param string $paramType * @param array $paramArray */ public function bindQueryParams($stmt, $paramType, $paramArray=array()) { $paramValueReference = & $paramType; for ($i = 0; $i < count($paramArray); $i ++) { $paramValueReference = & $paramArray[$i]; } call_user_func_array(array($stmt, "bind_param"), $paramValueReference); } /** * To get database results * @param string $query * @param string $paramType * @param array $paramArray * @return array */ public function numRows($query, $paramType="", $paramArray=array()) { $stmt = $this->conn->prepare($query); if(!empty($paramType) && !empty($paramArray)) { $this->bindQueryParams($stmt, $paramType, $paramArray); } $stmt->execute(); $stmt->store_result(); $recordCount = $stmt->num_rows; return $recordCount; } }

Database script

This database script has the create statement for the registered_users table. Import this script in your development environment to run this code.

Table structure for table `registered_users` -- CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `registered_users` (`id` int(8) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `user_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `first_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `last_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `password` varchar(25) NOT NULL, `email` varchar(55) NOT NULL, `gender` varchar(20) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`));

If the registration form validation fails, then the error message will be shown to the user as like as below.

Over the past few years, web hosting has undergone a dramatic change. Web hosting services have changed the way websites perform. There are several kinds of services but today we will talk about the options that are available for reseller hosting providers. They are Linux Reseller Hosting and Windows Reseller Hosting. Before we understand the fundamental differences between the two, let’s find out what is reseller hosting.

Reseller Hosting

In simple terms, reseller hosting is a form of web hosting where an account owner can use his dedicated hard drive space and allotted bandwidth for the purpose of reselling to the websites of third parties. Sometimes, a reseller can take a dedicated server from a hosting company (Linux or Windows) on rent and further let it out to third parties.

Most website users either are with Linux or Windows. This has got to do with the uptime. Both platforms ensure that your website is up 99% of the time.

1. Customization

One of the main differences between a Linux Reseller Hostingplan and the one provided by Windows is about customization. While you can experiment with both the players in several ways, Linux is way more customizable than Windows. The latter has more features than its counterpart and that is why many developers and administrators find Linux very customer- friendly.

2. Applications

Different reseller hosting services have different applications. Linux and Windows both have their own array of applications but the latter has an edge when it comes to numbers and versatility. This has got to do with the open source nature of Linux. Any developer can upload his app on the Linux platform and this makes it an attractive hosting provider to millions of website owners.

However, please note that if you are using Linux for web hosting but at the same time use the Windows OS, then some applications may not simply work.

3. Stability

While both the platforms are stable, Linux Reseller Hosting is more stable of the two. It being an open source platform, can work in several environments.This platform can be modified and developed every now and then.

4. .NET compatibility

It isn’t that Linux is superior to Windows in every possible way. When it comes to .NET compatibility, Windows steals the limelight. Web applications can be easily developed on a Windows hosting platform.

5. Cost advantages

Both the hosting platforms are affordable. But if you are feeling a cash crunch, then you should opt for Linux. It is free and that is why it is opted by so many developers and system administrators all around the world.

6. Ease of setup

Windows is easier to set up than its counterpart. All things said and done, Windows still retains its user-friendliness all these years.

7. Security

Opt for Linux reseller hosting because it is more secure than Windows. This holds true especially for people running their E-commerce businesses.

Conclusion

Choosing between the two will depend on your requirement and the cost flexibility. Both the hosting services have unique advantages. While Windows is easy to set up, Linux is cost effective, secure and is more versatile.

Back in March of this year, I had a very bad experience with a media company refusing to pay me and answer my emails. They still owe me thousands of dollars and the feeling of rage I have permeates everyday. Turns out I am not alone though, and hundreds of other website owners are in the same boat. It"s sort of par for the course with digital advertising.

In all honesty, I"ve had this blog for a long time and I have bounced around different ad networks in the past. After removing the ad units from that company who stiffed me, I was back to square one. I should also note that I never quite liked Googles AdSense product, only because it feels like the "bottom of the barrel" of display ads. Not from a quality perspective, but from a revenue one.

From what I understand, you want Google advertising on your site, but you also want other big companies and agencies doing it as well. That way you maximize the demand and revenue.

After my negative experience I got recommend a company called Newor Media . And if I"m honest I wasn"t sold at first mostly because I couldn"t find much information on them. I did find a couple decent reviews on other sites, and after talking to someone there, I decided to give it a try. I will say that they are SUPER helpful. Every network I have ever worked with has been pretty short with me in terms of answers and getting going. They answered every question and it was a really encouraging process.

I"ve been running the ads for a few months and the earnings are about in line with what I was making with the other company. So I can"t really say if they are that much better than others, but where they do stand out is a point that I really want to make. The communication with them is unlike any other network I"ve ever worked it. Here is a case where they really are different:

They pushed the first payment to me on time with Paypal. But because I"m not in the U.S (and this happens for everyone I think), I got a fee taken out from Paypal. I emailed my representative about it, asking if there was a way to avoid that in the future.

They said that they couldn"t avoid the fee, but that they would REIMBURSE ALL FEES.... INCLUDING THE MOST RECENT PAYMENT! Not only that, but the reimbursement payment was received within 10 MINUTES! When have you ever been able to make a request like that without having to be forwarded to the "finance department" to then never be responded to.

The bottom line is that I love this company. I might be able to make more somewhere else, I"m not really sure, but they have a publisher for life with me. I"m not a huge site and I don"t generate a ton of income, but I feel like a very important client when I talk to them. It"s genuinely a breathe of fresh air in an industry that is ripe with fraud and non-responsiveness.

Microcomputers that have been created by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in 2012 have been hugely successful in sparking levels of creativity in young children and this UK based company began offering learn-to-code startup programs like pi-top an Kano. There is now a new startup that is making use of Pi electronics, and the device is known as Pip, a handheld console that offers a touchscreen, multiple ports, control buttons and speakers. The idea behind the device is to engage younger individuals with a game device that is retro but will also offer a code learning experience through a web based platform.

The amazing software platform being offered with Pip will offer the chance to begin coding in Python, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Lua and PHP. The device offers step-by-step tutorials to get children started with coding and allows them to even make LEDs flash. While Pip is still a prototype, it will surely be a huge hit in the industry and will engage children who have an interest in coding and will provide them the education and resources needed to begin coding at a young age.

Future of Coding

Coding has a great future, and even if children will not be using coding as a career, they can benefit from learning how to code with this new device that makes it easier than ever. With Pip, even the youngest coding enthusiasts will learn different languages and will be well on their way to creating their own codes, own games, own apps and more. It is the future of the electronic era and Pip allows the basic building blocks of coding to be mastered.
Computer science has become an important part of education and with devices like the new Pip , children can start to enhance their education at home while having fun. Coding goes far beyond simply creating websites or software. It can be used to enhance safety in a city, to help with research in the medical field and much more. Since we now live in a world that is dominated by software, coding is the future and it is important for all children to at least have a basic understanding of how it works, even if they never make use of these skills as a career. In terms of the future, coding will be a critical component of daily life. It will be the language of the world and not knowing computers or how they work can pose challenges that are just as difficult to overcome as illiteracy.
Coding will also provide major changes in the gaming world, especially when it comes to online gaming, including the access of online casinos. To see just how coding has already enhanced the gaming world, take a look at a few top rated casino sites that rely on coding. Take a quick peek to check it out and see just how coding can present realistic environments online.

How Pip Engages Children

When it comes to the opportunity to learn coding, children have many options. There are a number of devices and hardware gizmos that can be purchased, but Pip takes a different approach with their device. The portability of the device and the touchscreen offer an advantage to other coding devices that are on the market. Pip will be fully compatible with electronic components in addition to the Raspberry Pi HAT system. The device uses standard languages and has basic tools and is a perfect device for any beginner coder. The goal is to remove any barriers between an idea and creation and make tools immediately available for use. One of the other great advantages of Pip is that it uses a SD card, so it can be used as a desktop computer as well when it is connected to a monitor and mouse.
The Pip device would help kids and interested coder novice with an enthusiasm into learning and practicing coding. By offering a combination of task completion and tinkering to solve problems, the device will certainly engage the younger generation. The device then allows these young coders to move to more advanced levels of coding in different languages like JavaScript and HTML/CSS. Since the device replicates a gaming console, it will immediately capture the attention of children and will engage them to learn about coding at a young age. It also comes with some preloaded games to retain attention, such as Pac-Man and Minecraft.

Innovations to Come

Future innovation largely depends on a child’s current ability to code and their overall understanding of the process. As children learn to code at an early age by using such devices as the new Pip, they will gain the skills and knowledge to create amazing things in the future. This could be the introduction of new games or apps or even ideas that can come to life to help with medical research and treatments. There are endless possibilities. Since our future will be controlled by software and computers, starting young is the best way to go, which is why the new Pip is geared towards the young crowd. By offering a console device that can play games while teaching coding skills, young members of society are well on their way to being the creators of software in the future that will change all our lives. This is just the beginning, but it is something that millions of children all over the world are starting to learn and master. With the use of devices like Pip, coding basics are covered and children will quickly learn the different coding languages that can lead down amazing paths as they enter adulthood.

В основном, для передачи параметров используются методы POST и GET .
Главное отличие методов POST и GET заключается в способе передачи информации. В методе GET параметры передаются через адресную строку (URL ), т.е. в HTTP -заголовке запроса, в то время как в методе POST параметры передаются через тело HTTP -запроса и никак не отражаются в адресной строке.

1. Кнопки – Тег

Тег обязателен.
Параметры:
disabled – блокирует доступ и изменение элемента.
type – тип кнопки
value – Значение кнопки, которое будет отправлено на сервер или прочитано с помощью сприптов.

Параметр DISABLED
Блокирует доступ и изменение кнопки. Она в таком случае отображается серой и недоступной для активации пользователем. Кроме того, такая кнопка не может получить фокус путем нажатия на клавишу Tab , мышью или другим способом. Тем не менее, такое состояние кнопки можно изменять через скрипты.

Параметр TYPE
Определяет тип кнопки, который устанавливает ее поведение в форме. По внешнему виду кнопки разного типа никак не различаются, но у каждой такой кнопки свои функции. Значение по умолчанию: button .
Аргументы:
button – Обычная кнопка.
reset – Кнопка для очистки введенных данных формы и возвращения значений в первоначальное состояние.

Submit – Кнопка для отправки данных формы на сервер.

Параметр VALUE Определяет значение кнопки, которое будет отправлено на сервер. На сервер отправляется пара «имя=значение », где имя задается параметром name тега

1.1. Кнопка (input type=button)

1.2. Кнопка с изображением (input type=image)

Кнопки с изображениями аналогичны по действию кнопке Submit , но представляют собой рисунок. Для этого задаем type=image и src="image.gif" .

Когда пользователь щелкнет где-нибудь на изображении, соответствующая форма будет передана на сервер с двумя дополнительными переменными – sub_x и sub_y . Они содержат координаты нажатия пользователя на изображение. Опытные программисты могут заметить, что на самом деле имена переменных, отправленных браузером, содержат точку, а не подчеркивание, но PHP автоматически конвертирует точку в подчеркивание.

1.3. Кнопка отправки формы (input type=submit)

Служит для отправки формы сценарию. При создании кнопки для отправки формы необходимо указать 2 атрибута: type="submit" и value="Текст кнопки" . Атрибут name необходим, если кнопка не одна, а несколько и все они созданы для разных операций, например кнопки "Сохранить", "Удалить", "Редактировать" и т.д. После нажатия на кнопку сценарию передается строка имя=текст кнопки.

РНР -сценарий не требуется.

1.4. Массив кнопок (submit) для выбора варианта действий

2. Кнопка сброса формы (Reset)

При нажатии на кнопку сброса (reset ), все элементы формы будут установлены в то состояние, которое было задано в атрибутах по умолчанию, причем отправка формы не производиться.

РНР -сценарий не требуется.

3. Флажок (checkbox)

Флажки checkbox предлагают пользователю ряд вариантов, и разрешает произвольный выбор (ни одного, одного или нескольких из них).

$go) { echo $index." - > ".$go."
"; }; };

4. Переключатель(radio)

Переключатели radio предлагают пользователю ряд вариантов, но разрешает выбрать только один из них.
Пример 1.

Пример 2.
\n"; ?>

5. Текстовое поле (text)

При создании обычного текстового поля размером size и максимальной допустимой длины maxlength символов, атрибут type принимает значение text . Если указан параметр value , то поле будет отображать указанный в переменной value. При создании поля не забывайте указывать имя поля, т.к. этот атрибут является обязательным.

6. Поле для ввода пароля (password)

Полностью аналогичен текстовому полю, за исключением того, что символы, набираемые пользователем, не будут отображаться на экране.

7. Скрытое текстовое поле (hidden)

Позволяет передавать сценарию какую то служебную информацию, не отображая её на странице.

8. Выпадающий список (select)

Тэг . Теги позволяют определить содержимое списка, а параметр value определяет значение строки. Если в теге указан параметр selected , то строка будет изначально выбранной. Параметр size задает, сколько строк будет занимать список. Если size равен 1 , то список будет выпадающим. Если указан атрибут multiple , то разрешено выбирать несколько элементов из списка. Но эта схема практически не используется, а при size = 1 не имеет смысла.

Если необходимо создать выпадающий с предсказуемой последовательностью. Например, список с годами с 2000 по 2050. То используется следующий прием.

9. Многострочное поле ввода текста (textarea)

Многострочное поле ввода текста позволяет отправлять не одну строку, а сразу несколько. При необходимости можно указать атрибут readonly , который запрещает редактировать, удалять и изменять текст, т.е. текст будет предназначен только для чтения. Если необходимо чтобы текст был изначально отображен в многострочном поле ввода, то его необходимо поместить между тэгами .
Существует параметр wrap – задание переноса строк. Возможные значения:
off – отключает перенос строк;
virtuals – показывает переносы строк, но отправляет текст как он введен;
physical – переносы строк оставляются в исходном виде.
По умолчанию тег </b> создает пустое поле шириной в <b>20 </b> символов и состоящее из <b>2 </b> строк.<br></p><p> <form method="post"> <textarea name="text" cols="40" rows="5">

Для того, чтобы в многострочном текстовом поле соблюдалось html-форматирование (перенос строк по средством тега
или
), то используйте функцию nl2br() :

Первоначально вставленный строка 1 Первоначально вставленный строка 2 Первоначально вставленный строка 3
10. Кнопка для загрузки файлов (browse)
Служит для реализации загрузки файлов на сервер. При создании текстового поля также необходимо указать тип поля type как "file" .

Загрузить файл:

Способы общения браузера с сервером
Способов, предоставляемых протоколом HTTP , немного. Это важная информация. Никаких других способов нет. На практике используются два:
GET – это когда данные передаются в адресной строке, например, когда пользователь жмет ссылку.
POST – когда он нажимает кнопку в форме.
Метод GET
Чтобы передать данные методом GET не надо создавать на HTML -странице форму (использовать формы для запросов методом GET вам никто не запрещает) – достаточно ссылки на документ с добавлением строки запроса, которая может выглядеть как переменная=значение. Пары объединяются с помощью амперсанда &, а к URL страницы строка присоединяется с помощью вопросительного знака «? ».
Но можно не использовать пары ключ=значение, если надо передать всего одну переменную – для этого надо после знака вопроса написать ЗНАЧЕНИЕ (не имя) переменной.
Преимущество передачи параметров таким способом заключается в том, что клиенты, которые не могут использовать метод POST (например, поисковые машины), все же смогут, просто пройдя по ссылке, передать параметры скрипту и получить содержимое.
Недостаток в том, что просто изменив параметры в адресной строке, пользователь может повернуть ход сценария непредсказуемым образом и это создает огромную дыру в безопасности, в сочетании с неопределенными переменными и register_globals on или кто-нибудь может узнать значение важной переменной (например ID -сеcсии), просто посмотрев на экран монитора.
:
- для доступа к общедоступным страницам с передачей параметров (повышение функциональности)
- передача информации, не влияющей на уровень безопасности
:
- для доступа к защищенным страницам с передачей параметров
- для передачи информации, влияющей на уровень безопасности
- для передачи информации, не подлежащей модифицированию пользователем (некоторые передают текст SQL -запросов.
Метод POST
Передать данные методом POST можно только с помощью формы на HTML странице. Основное отличие POST от GET в том, что данные передаются не в заголовке запроса а в теле, следовательно, пользователь их не видит. Модифицировать можно только изменив саму форму.
Преимущество :
- большая безопасность и функциональность запросов с помощью форм методом POST .
Недостаток :
- меньшая доступность.
Для чего следует использовать :
- для передачи большого объема информации (текст, файлы..);
- для передачи любой важной информации;
- для ограничения доступа (например, использовать для навигации только форму – возможность, доступная не всем программам-роботам или грабберам-контента).
Для чего не следует использовать :
PHP способен принимать файл, загружаемый при помощи любого браузера,. Это дает возможность загружать как текстовые, так и бинарные файлы. Вместе с PHP -аутентификацией и функциями для работы с файловой системой, вы получаете полный контроль над тем, кому разрешено загружать файлы, и над тем, что делать с файлом после его загрузки.
Страница для загрузки файлов может быть реализована при помощи специальной формы, которая выглядит примерно так:
//Форма для загрузки файлов
Отправить этот файл:

В приведенном выше примере "URL " необходимо заменить ссылкой на PHP -скрипт. Скрытое поле MAX _FILE_SIZE (значение необходимо указывать в байтах) должно предшествовать полю для выбора файла, и его значение является максимально допустимым размером принимаемого файла. Также следует убедиться, что в атрибутах формы вы указали enctype="multipart/form-data" , в противном случае загрузка файлов на сервер выполняться не будет.
Внимание
Опция MAX _FILE_SIZE является рекомендацией браузеру, даже если бы PHP также проверял это условие. Обойти это ограничение на стороне браузера достаточно просто, следовательно, вы не должны полагаться на то, что все файлы большего размера будут блокированы при помощи этой возможности. Тем не менее, ограничение PHP касательно максимального размера обойти невозможно. Вы в любом случае должны добавлять переменную формы MAX _FILE_SIZE , так как она предотвращает тревожное ожидание пользователей при передаче огромных файлов, только для того, чтобы узнать, что файл слишком большой и передача фактически не состоялась.
Как определить метод запроса?
Напрямую:
Getenv("REQUEST_METHOD");
вернет GET или POST .
Какой способ следует применять?
Если форма служит для запроса некой информации, например – при поиске, то ее следует отправлять методом GET . Чтобы можно было обновлять страницу, можно было поставить закладку и/или послать ссылку другу.
Если же в результате отправки формы данные записываются или изменяются на сервере, то следует их отправлять методом POST , причем обязательно, после обработки формы, надо перенаправить браузер методом GET . Так же, POST может понадобиться, если на сервер надо передать большой объём данных (у GET он сильно ограничен), а так же, если не следует "светить" передаваемые данные в адресной строке (при вводе логина и пароля, например).
В любом случае, после обработки POST надо всегда перенаправить браузер на какую-нибудь страницу, пусть ту же самую, но уже без данных формы, чтобы при обновлении страницы они не записывались повторно.
Как передать данные в другой файл непосредственно из тела PHP -программы методом GET и POST ?
Пример, для демонстрации отправки данных методом POST и GET одновременно и получения ответа от сервера.

Much of the websites have a registration form for your users to sign up and thus may benefit from some kind of privilege within the site. In this article we will see how to create a registration form in PHP and MySQL.

We will use simple tags and also we will use table tag to design the Sign-Up.html webpage. Let’s start:

Listing 1 : sign-up.html

Sign-Up

Registration Form

Name

Email

UserName

Password

Confirm Password

Figure 1:

Description of sing-in.html webpage:

As you can see the Figure 1, there is a Registration form and it is asking few data about user. These are the common data which ask by any website from his users or visitors to create and ID and Password. We used table tag because to show the form fields on the webpage in a arrange form as you can see them on Figure 1. It’s looking so simple because we yet didn’t used CSS Style on it now let’s we use CSS styles and link the CSS style file with sing-up.html webpage.

Listing 2 : style.css

/*CSS File For Sign-Up webpage*/ #body-color{ background-color:#6699CC; } #Sign-Up{ background-image:url("sign-up.png"); background-size:500px 500px; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment:fixed; background-position:center; margin-top:150px; margin-bottom:150px; margin-right:150px; margin-left:450px; padding:9px 35px; } #button{ border-radius:10px; width:100px; height:40px; background:#FF00FF; font-weight:bold; font-size:20px; }

Listing 3 : Link style.css with sign-up.html webpage

Figure 2:

Description of style.css file:

In the external CSS file we used some styles which could be look new for you. As we used an image in the background and set it in the center of the webpage. Which is become easy to use by the help of html div tag. As we used three div tag id’s. #button, #sing-up, and #body-color and we applied all CSS styles on them and now you can see the Figure 2, how much it’s looking beautiful and attractive. You can use many other CSS styles as like 2D and 3D CSS styles on it. It will look more beautiful than its looking now.

After these all simple works we are now going to create a database and a table to store all data in the database of new users. Before we go to create a table we should know that what we require from the user. As we designed the form we will create the table according to the registration form which you can see it on Figure 1 & 2.

Listing 3 : Query for table in MySQL

CREATE TABLE WebsiteUsers (userID int(9) NOT NULL auto_increment, fullname VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, userName VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL, email VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL, pass VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(userID));

Description of Listing 3:

One thing you should know that if you don’t have MySQL facility to use this query, so should follow my previous article about . from this link you will able to understand the installation and requirements. And how we can use it.

In the listing 3 query we used all those things which we need for the registration form. As there is Email, Full name, password, and user name variables. These variable will store data of the user, which he/she will input in the registration form in Figure 2 for the sing-up.

After these all works we are going to work with PHP programming which is a server side programming language. That’s why need to create a connection with the database.

Listing 4 : Database connection

Description of Listing 4:

We created a connection between the database and our webpages. But if you don’t know is it working or not so you use one thing more in the last check listing 5 for it.

Listing 5 : checking the connection of database connectivity

Description Listing 5:

In the Listing 5 I just tried to show you that you can check and confirm the connection between the database and PHP. And one thing more we will not use Listing 5 code in our sing-up webpage. Because it’s just to make you understand how you can check the MySQL connection.

Now we will write a PHP programming application to first check the availability of user and then store the user if he/she is a new user on the webpage.

Listing 6 : connectivity-sign-up.php

Description of connectivity-sign-up.php

In this PHP application I used simplest way to create a sign up application for the webpages. As you can see first we create a connection like listing 4. And then we used two functions the first function is SignUP() which is being called by the if statement from the last of the application, where its first confirming the pressing of sign up button. If it is pressed then it will call the SingUp function and this function will use a query of SELECT to fetch the data and compare them with userName and email which is currently entered from the user. If the userName and email is already present in the database so it will say sorry you are already registered

If the user is new as its currently userName and email ID is not present in the database so the If statement will call the NewUser() where it will store the all information of the new user. And the user will become a part of the webpage.

Figure 3

In the figure 3, user is entering data to sign up if the user is an old user of this webpage according to the database records. So the webpage will show a message the user is registered already if the user is new so the webpage will show a message the user’s registration is completed.

Figure 4:

As we entered data to the registration form (Figure 4), according to the database which userName and email we entered to the registration form for sing-up it’s already present in the database. So we should try a new userName and email address to sign-up with a new ID and Password.

Figure 5

In figure 5, it is confirming us that which userName and email id user has entered. Both are not present in the database records. So now a new ID and Password is created and the user is able to use his new ID and Password to get login next time.

Conclusion:

In this article we learnt the simplest way of creating a sign up webpage. We also learnt that how it deals with the database if we use PHP and MySQL. I tried to give you a basic knowledge about sign up webpage functionality. How it works at back end, and how we can change its look on front end. For any query don’t hesitate and comment.
