[https://medium.com/better-programming/link-css-and-js-files-with-html-file-f848d00b42e8 Link CSS and Js Files With an HTML File]
* To link a CSS file with your HTML file, you have to write the next script on your HTML file inside the head tag
* To link a Js file with your HTML, you only have to add the source of the script inside the body tag or outside; it doesn’t matter.

mywebpage.php
<pre>
<?php
echo "Today is " . date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
</pre>
</pre>


== PHP ==
== Differences between a standard HTML doc and a PHP doc ==
 
* PHP scripts should be saved with the .php file extension.
* You place PHP code within '''<?php''' and '''?>''' tags, normally withink the context of some HTML.
* PHP is a server-side technology. So PHP scripts must be run on a PHP-enabled Web server. This means that PHP must be run through a URL (i.e. http://yourdomain/mypage.php).
 
If the php source code is
<syntaxhighlight lang='php'>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<body>
<?php
# This script does nothing much.
 
echo '<p>This is a line of text.<br />This is another line of text.</p>';
 
/*
echo 'This line will not be executed.';
*/
 
echo "<p>Now I'm done.</p>"; // End of PHP code.
 
?>
</body>
</html>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
then when we view the page source from a web browser, it will look like
<syntaxhighlight lang='php'>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<body>
<p>This is a line of text.<br />This is another line of text.</p><p>Now I'm done.</p>
</body>
</html>
</syntaxhighlight>

== Debugging techniques ==
 
* Run PHP scripts through a URL; i.e. it must be requested through '''http'''://something.
* Know what version of PHP you're running; run phpinfo.php to confirm.
* Make sure display_errors is on. This is related to PHP configuration setting.
* CHeck the HTML source code.
* Trust the error message.
 
== Quick sheet ==
 
* print_r($_SERVER); print 'ABCD';
* Use /* and */ for comments
* Variables are case-sensitive!
* Constants define('PI', 3.14);
* Strings: "Hello, $first_name", "I said \"How are you?\"". Note that backslash is used to  escape the quotation.
* Arrays can be used by using either '''indexed''' array or '''associative''' array. For indexed arrays, the key is 0,1,2,3,... and for associative arrays, the key is a string. For example, $name[0]='Don' and $state['VT'] = 'Vermont'.
* Single quotation marks are treated literally; items within double quotation marks are extrapolated. This means that within double quotation marks, a variable's name is replaced with its value, but the same is not true for single quotation marks.
* XHTML are different from HTML
** the code needs to be in all lowercase letters
** every tag attribute must be enclosed in quotes
** For example, <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=address SIZE=40> in HTML becomes <input text="text" name="address" size="40"> in XHTML
* For avoiding security problems in form, use PHP functions like htmlspecialchars(), htmlentities(), strip_tags().
** htmlspecialchars() converts certain HTMLM tags into their entity versions. The entity version appears in the output but isn't rendered.
** htmlentities() turns all HTML tags into their entity versions.
** strip_tags() removes all HTML and PHP tags.

== File upload ==
Need to change the folder permission/property. See [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14116708/adding-apache-to-a-user-group-file-upload-permission here].
 
* chmod -R 777 FOLDERNAME
* sudo usermod www-data --apend --groups GROUPNAME
 
where GROUPNAME is the group name of the folder and www-data is the user that runs the web server.
 
* sudo chown -R .www-data FOLDERNAME
 
where the dot means no change for the owner's name. We just change the group name. It is also helpful to do chmod -R 775 FOLDERNAME.
 
* just edit /etc/group file. See the link above.

(Outdated) Google chrome devtools provides a color magnifier which can be used to identify the color code of a specific pixel on the screen. [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28716775/how-to-use-color-picker-eye-dropper Here] is a gif showing the process to get the color picker.
# Open devtools
# Right click on a website and choose 'inspect'
# Click somewhere having class. The style definition will be shown in a small panel
# If color was used somewhere, there should be a small square showing the defined color. Click the square.
# Now if we move the cursor to the website, a magnifier will be shown up

id attribute

<style>
#myHeader {
  background-color: lightblue;
  color: black;
  padding: 40px;
  text-align: center;
}
</style>

<h1 id="myHeader">My Header</h1>

CSS and JS

Link CSS and Js Files With an HTML File

  • To link a CSS file with your HTML file, you have to write the next script on your HTML file inside the head tag
  • To link a Js file with your HTML, you only have to add the source of the script inside the body tag or outside; it doesn’t matter.

Section tag, outline, layout

PHP

Simple examples

mywebpage.php

<?php
echo "Today is " . date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Differences between a standard HTML doc and a PHP doc

  • PHP scripts should be saved with the .php file extension.
  • You place PHP code within <?php and ?> tags, normally withink the context of some HTML.
  • PHP is a server-side technology. So PHP scripts must be run on a PHP-enabled Web server. This means that PHP must be run through a URL (i.e. http://yourdomain/mypage.php).

If the php source code is

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<body>
<?php
# This script does nothing much.

echo '<p>This is a line of text.<br />This is another line of text.</p>';

/*
echo 'This line will not be executed.';
*/

echo "<p>Now I'm done.</p>"; // End of PHP code.

?>
</body>
</html>

then when we view the page source from a web browser, it will look like

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<body>
<p>This is a line of text.<br />This is another line of text.</p><p>Now I'm done.</p>
</body>
</html>

Resource

Debugging techniques

  • Run PHP scripts through a URL; i.e. it must be requested through http://something.
  • Know what version of PHP you're running; run phpinfo.php to confirm.
  • Make sure display_errors is on. This is related to PHP configuration setting.
  • CHeck the HTML source code.
  • Trust the error message.

Quick sheet

  • print_r($_SERVER); print 'ABCD';
  • Use /* and */ for comments
  • Variables are case-sensitive!
  • Constants define('PI', 3.14);
  • Strings: "Hello, $first_name", "I said \"How are you?\"". Note that backslash is used to escape the quotation.
  • Arrays can be used by using either indexed array or associative array. For indexed arrays, the key is 0,1,2,3,... and for associative arrays, the key is a string. For example, $name[0]='Don' and $state['VT'] = 'Vermont'.
  • Single quotation marks are treated literally; items within double quotation marks are extrapolated. This means that within double quotation marks, a variable's name is replaced with its value, but the same is not true for single quotation marks.
  • XHTML are different from HTML
    • the code needs to be in all lowercase letters
    • every tag attribute must be enclosed in quotes
    • For example, <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=address SIZE=40> in HTML becomes <input text="text" name="address" size="40"> in XHTML
  • For avoiding security problems in form, use PHP functions like htmlspecialchars(), htmlentities(), strip_tags().
    • htmlspecialchars() converts certain HTMLM tags into their entity versions. The entity version appears in the output but isn't rendered.
    • htmlentities() turns all HTML tags into their entity versions.
    • strip_tags() removes all HTML and PHP tags.
  • foreach() {}
  • abcd

PHP, form and POST method

PHP form handling
# index.php welcome.php
1.
<html>
<body>

<form action="welcome.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="fname" />
Age: <input type="text" name="age" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>
 <html>
 <body>

 Welcome <?php echo $_POST["fname"]; ?>!<br />
 You are <?php echo $_POST["age"]; ?> years old.

 </body>
 </html>

The 'action' attribute in <form> defines an absolute or a relative URL. That is, the action could be pointing to an asp, cgi page or something like "mailto:[email protected]".

PHP, form and GET method

GET method
index.php welcome.php
<form action="welcome.php" method="get">
Name: <input type="text" name="fname" />
Age: <input type="text" name="age" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
Welcome <?php echo $_GET["fname"]; ?>.<br />
You are <?php echo $_GET["age"]; ?> years old!

GET, the default, will send the form input in an URL, whereas POST sends it in the body of the submission. The latter method means you can send larger amounts of data, and that the URL of the form results doesn't show the encoded form.

MySQL basic operations

  • Log into root
$ mysql -u root -h myserver-sever.com -p
  • Create a new mysql database called demo
mysql> CREATE DATABASE demo;
  • create a new user and GRANT (add) privileges to a newly created user on all tables in the demo database.
CREATE USER 'user1'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
GRANT ALL ON demo.* TO 'user1'@'localhost';

OR

mysql> GRANT ALL ON demo.* TO user1@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
  • How to connect to the demo database on local/remote MySQL server?
$ mysql -u user1 -h mysql.server.com -p demo
  • To remove an account
DROP USER 'user1'@'localhost'
  • Create a table on the demo database
mysql> USE demo;
mysql> DROP TABLE Employee;

mysql> CREATE TABLE Employee (
    ->     Name VARCHAR(50),
    ->     Phone VARCHAR(15)
    -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.21 sec)

mysql> Show tables;
mysql> Describe Employee;

mysql> INSERT INTO Employee (Name, Phone) VALUES ('John Doe', NULL);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> Select * from Employee;

Username/password

File upload

Need to change the folder permission/property. See here.

  • chmod -R 777 FOLDERNAME
  • sudo usermod www-data --apend --groups GROUPNAME

where GROUPNAME is the group name of the folder and www-data is the user that runs the web server.

  • sudo chown -R .www-data FOLDERNAME

where the dot means no change for the owner's name. We just change the group name. It is also helpful to do chmod -R 775 FOLDERNAME.

  • just edit /etc/group file. See the link above.

Examples:

  1. http://taichi.selfip.net:81/lang/php/w3/uploadphp/

CSS

Three Styles

  1. Store an exteranl style sheet in a separate file
  2. Embed an internal style sheet inside an HTML document (inside the <head> section your page).
  3. Inline style

Anatomy of a Rule

selector { property: value }

Example:

  h1 { text-align: center;
       color: blue }

Web colors

Normally hex form requires 6 digits but the short form only requires 3 digits. For example, #09C is the same as #0099CC.

(Outdated) Google chrome devtools provides a color magnifier which can be used to identify the color code of a specific pixel on the screen. Here is a gif showing the process to get the color picker.

  1. Open devtools
  2. Right click on a website and choose 'inspect'
  3. Click somewhere having class. The style definition will be shown in a small panel
  4. If color was used somewhere, there should be a small square showing the defined color. Click the square.
  5. Now if we move the cursor to the website, a magnifier will be shown up

It seems if we want to create lightbox image gallery, we need to create thumbnails first. We can skip creating thumbnail images if we don't need javascript and lightbox effect.

Check websites for broken links

Calculate page loading time

Get pageload time using command line. This works on local servers too.

$ time wget -pq --no-cache --delete-after http://10.42.0.66/wiki/index.php/C
real	4m30.402s
user	0m0.036s
sys	0m0.032s

It seems apache/mediawiki have a cache system. If I repeat the testing on the same page, it will be fast. But if I test on a new page, it will be slow again.

We can also use curl. Testing a website from Linux command line

$ curl --trace-time -o /dev/null http://10.42.0.66/wiki/index.php/Virtualbox
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

CGI/Perl

On Ubuntu, the CGI script should be placed in /usr/lib/cgi-bin folder.

$ ls -l /usr/lib/cgi-bin/hello.cgi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 139 2012-11-21 12:19 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/hello.cgi

Notice that mode is 755 for the executable file. The script

$ cat /usr/lib/cgi-bin/hello.cgi
#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print <<END_HTML;
<html>
<head></head>
<body>Hello, World!</body>
</html>
END_HTML

Open a web browser and enter http://localhost/cgi-bin/hello.cgi.

If the cgi was used in html form, the html code should look like

<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/mycgi.pl">
favorite color: <INPUT name="favecolor">
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit">
</FORM>
