Study Notes

PHP Traits and Inheritance

A PHP trait allows grouping of functionalities that can be reused across multiple classes, offering a method for code reuse without multiple inheritance.
PHP does not support true multiple inheritance unlike some other programming languages.
The extends keyword is used to declare a subclass inheriting properties and methods from a parent class.

PHP Methods and Access Modifiers

Methods in PHP are defined as functions within a class.
The default access modifier for PHP classes is public.

Object-Oriented Principles

Polymorphism allows different classes to implement the same method in varied ways.
Attributes in object-oriented programming represent properties or variables tied to an object.
Operations refer to methods or functions that an object can perform, affecting its state or external systems.

Exception Handling in PHP

A constructor is denoted by the syntax $a = new classname("First"); and initializes objects.
More than one catch block can be utilized with a single try block.
The throw keyword is essential for triggering exceptions in PHP.
The finally block executes after the try and catch processes, regardless of the outcome.
Custom exceptions can override the built-in function toString().

Database Concepts and Structures

The primary type of database emphasized is relational, which organizes data in structured tables.
A primary key can contain one or more columns, ensuring unique identification for each row.
The term relation refers to a table in relational database theory, highlighting the connection between data.

Data Integrity and Management

Atomic column values imply storing only one attribute per row, promoting data integrity.
Excess null values in databases can lead to inefficiencies and complications in data processing.
Each database value must adhere to the defined data type of its column.

MySQL Commands and Permissions

The command mysql -h dbserver -u joe -p establishes a MySQL connection.
WITH GRANT OPTION permits a database user to delegate their privileges to others.
The EXECUTE privilege is necessary for running stored procedures and functions in MySQL.
To create a new MySQL database, use the command create database dbname;.

General Coding Practices

Implementing small try blocks is recommended for better exception handling and code clarity.
The PHP Exception class lacks a built-in method named getString(), distinguishing it from possible expectations.
An exception backtrace provides a trace of the functions that were executing when an exception occurred, aiding debugging efforts.
