What is MAMP?
MAMP  - Macintosh, Apache, MySQL, and PHP.

MAMP is an application that can be installed on Mac which allows to have access to a local PHP server and MySQL server. Essentially, MAMP gives us all of the essential functionality that need to run any PHP application on our machine, for development and testing purposes. We can accomplish this in many ways, but the other ways aren't as simple like this.

Step 1: Installing MAMP
Before install MAMP on Mac, we'll need to download it from the MAMP website.

MAMP requires that Mac be running Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later. Once the MAMP download is complete, double-click the MAMP disk image (it should be something like MAMP_2.0.3.dmg), and should get a MAMP window pop up.

Drag the MAMP folder (not MAMP PRO - we'll save that walk-through for another time) to the Applications folder.

Step 2: Basic MAMP Settings
Now, MAMP installed on our system, launch MAMP.app (located at /Applications/MAMP/MAMP.app).

While we're editing the settings, MAMP might prompt us for an administrator password. This is required because MAMP needs to run two processes: mysqld (MySQL) and httpd (Apache), and depending on the settings set for those processes, we may or may not need to input our password.

Once we open MAMP, click the Preferences button. Next, click over to "Ports." The default MAMP ports are 8888 for Apache, and 8889 for MySQL. If we use this configuration, we shouldn't get asked for your password, but we'd need to include the port number in the URL (localhost:8888). If we'd like to leave the port number out of the URL, change the Apache port to 80. The downside of using port 80 as our MAMP Apache port is that we'll always be asked for our password.

Lastly, on the Web Server tab, you'll need to set a document root. This is where all of our files are going to be for our local web server. An example of a document root is /Users/USERNAME/Sites/sample/.

Once you're done editing all of the settings, hit OK to save them.

Float

Home  >> Data Types   >> Float Float Floating point numbers (also known as "floats", "doubles", or "real numbers") can be specified using any of the following syntaxes: <?php $a  =  1.234 ;  $b  =  1.2e3 ;  $c  =  7E-10 ; ?> Formally LNUM          [0-9]+ DNUM          ([0-9]*[\.]{LNUM}) | ({LNUM}[\.][0-9]*) EXPONENT_DNUM [+-]?(({LNUM} | {DNUM}) [eE][+-]? {LNUM}) The size of a float is platform-dependent, although a maximum of ~1.8e308 with a precision of roughly 14 decimal digits is a common value (the 64 bit IEEE format). Floating point precision Floating point numbers have limited precision. Although it depends on the system, PHP typically uses the IEEE 754 double precision format, which will give a maximum relative error due to rounding in the order of 1.11e-16. Non elementary arithmetic ...

FastCGI Process Manager

Home  >> Installation of PHP  >>FastCGI Process Manager FastCGI Process Manager: FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is another method of installing PHP with extra features. It is mostly useful for heavy-loaded sites.  The important features are:  advanced process management with graceful stop/start;  ability to start workers with different uid/gid/chroot/environment, listening on different ports and using different php.ini (replaces safe_mode);  stdout and stderr logging;  emergency restart in case of accidental opcode cache destruction;  accelerated upload support; "slowlog" - logging scripts (not just their names, but their PHP backtraces too, using ptrace and similar things to read remote process' execute_data) that are executed unusually slow; fastcgi_finish_request() - special function to finish request and flush all data while continuing to do something time-consuming (video converting, stats processing etc.); ...

Boolean Type

Home  >> Data Types   >> Boolean The boolean type returns the value either TRUE or FALSE Syntax In order to specify the boolean variable, use the constants TRUE or FALSE. Both are case-insensitive <?php $coderz  =  True ;  // assign the value TRUE to $coderz ?> Typically, the   control structure depends upon the value of boolean operator. Because, it returns either TRUE or FALSE <?php // == is an operator which tests // equality and returns a boolean if ( $name ==  "coderz" ) {     echo  "Coderztoday is the best online tutorial" ; } // this is not necessary... if ( $name ==TRUE) {     echo  "<hr>\n" ; } // ...because this can be used with exactly the...
