Like schools all over the world, we have an election for each classes to select our class leader. Even in 21st century, our schools were conducting the election with ballot papers.

You might have heard about output buffering while you code in PHP. I will tell you what it is and how to use it simply. "Output Buffering" Meaning "Buffering" in computing means store (data) in a buffer while it is being processed or transferred. This is exactly what PHP does too.

But, you would have to point to the exact location of the phpunit file to run : /home/username/mysite/vendor/bin/phpunit phpunit.xml But, that’s long and uncomfortable. And you would have to install PHPUnit separately for each projects. I’m gonna tell you how to install binaries globally as well as running it simply.... [READ MORE]

Programming Languages are used to define the way how something must be done. Hence in a technical way, it can’t do things randomly on it’s own. Otherwise it would be an AI (Artificial Intelligence). Doing random things is not done at compiling, but in execution. In case of PHP, this doesn’t matter as it’s an interpreter.... [READ MORE]

It’s similar to the old theme because, I liked it colorful and dark at the same time. I’m a Batman fan and black is good for the eyes. As a programmer, you don’t want to hurt your eyes. The theme is named "Subin’s Blog V2".... [READ MORE]
