What is cURL?

First of all, I am gonna talk about what cURL is then I will tell you what it does.
cURL is an extension in PHP which allows your PHP server to access other websites, sending and receiving information via a URL-like protocol. (You'll most commonly use HTTP, which lets you talk to other web pages, and FTP, which allows you to upload and download files.) In practical terms, this means you can have your server imitate a web browser, go to other sites, and download their web pages into a variable of your choosing.

cURL is a vital tool for any serious online shopping cart, because it allows you to approve credit card charges and get live shipping quotes for customers. You use cURL to connect and send transaction data to another company's server. The server replies, telling you information such as whether the charge was approved or denied and why.

What is PHPinfo() ?

When you are working with PHP, this is the all important question!

Basically, this is a function, a built-in function I might add is having all the info about your web server.

It lets you know where you configuration file is stored (i.e. the php.ini file) and the version of PHP you are using.

Not only that, the information about the session variable the cookies and much more. Not to mention it also lets you know what extensions are loaded in the server. What extensions are in PHP, I will let you know in my next post.

Keep reading and keep tuned in!

How to use Date function in PHP

Hey guys in this post I am gonna talk about using Date function.

By the way, anything ending with the brackets sign indicates that this is a function. for example Myfunction()

And I was talking about the Date function or Date() it expects the argument you pass it to be a format string, representing the style of output you would like. Each letter in the string represents one part of the date and time. H is the hour in a 24-hour format with leading zeros where required, i is the minutes with a leading zero where required, j is the day of the month without a leading zero, S represents the ordinal suffix (in this case th), and F is the full name of the month.

This is how it looks like when we have entered the required parameters ( or arguments):
date('H:i, jS F')
