• The times have changed and one of the reasons for
  this change is because of PHP evolving with the
  changing times. And it has got many more
  interesting ways of development now. The best
  practices of PHP development that I will be
  discussing today are already being exploited by
  the PHP Development Experts across the globe.
• Let us understand how with the changing times,
  PHP and its community have upgraded its style and
  way of PHP development and is resorting to modern
  practices of PHP development.

1. Setting Defaults

• With the passage of time, even PHP development
  experts are taking development in PHP from a
  different perspective trying to bring new
  techniques. Although the new version of PHP
  avails developers to build with amazing default
  features that makes development process faster
  and simpler. The defaults offered by PHP are
  great because you dont set a date/ time zone
  which makes easier for distribution.

1. Setting Defaults
Few Suggested Settings

• Data.timezone Choose from list of time zones
• Session.save_path if you are using session from
  the handler, then set this to the outside of
  /tmp. Although leaving /tmp on a shared host
  can leave you vulnerable.
• Session.cookie_secure servers PHP code over
  HTTPS
• Use iniscan for testing configuration

2. Upgrade to the Current Version

• This is universally important for
  any technology that you are using. For this
  reason, I suggest using the current version
  because then you get all the benefits of the new
  version. The reason for not upgrading can be
  many, but no one thinks to change and thus your
  website is unable to make the most of the PHP
  binaries. It makes the overall performance good
  where you have better security, new features, bug
  fixes and updates.

3. Using Composer

• Basically, the PHP composer allows you to install
  libraries for your development project. The two
  main categories of dependencies namely require
  and require-dev where it is only installed
  everywhere. They are tools when the code is under
  active development. When it comes to PHP
  development, there has been much buzz and this is
  the reason for such change in the development
  process.

3. Using Composer

• When a PHP developer today develops, then he/ she
  is extremely benefitted with the modern ways of
  development where their community is constantly
  innovating new method and approaches to
  development in PHP. Also, Outsourcing PHP
  Development India is exploring new heights with
  the modern ways of PHP development and thus
  Outsourcing can get you the best of the solutions.
