New thing introduced in PHP 5.3
When PHP5.3 was released, and when I go for test several old developed projects mainly open-source on their compatibility with this new version. To my surprise a lot of them are not. To detect the use of these deprecated features the new error level E_DEPRECATED has been introduced in PHP5.3. This enables developers to detect incompatibilies with the future release and learn how to improve their code. Because one can set the error reporting level, the deprecated messages can be switched off. This way developers are not required to immediately adapt their code, if they want to use PHP5.3.
Now comes to the point of what's new in the php 5.3, let’s take a look.
New language (syntax) features
- Namespaces
- Closures
- Compile time constants
- late static binding
- New operators
- ?:
- goto
- NOWDOC syntax, HEREDOC with quotes
- dynamic static calls
New functionality
- New extensions
- SQLite 3, fileinfo, intl, enchant, phar
- Added “Unix” functions to Windows
- fnmatch, symlink, readlink, time_sleep_until,
- stream_socket_pair, …
- Improved SPL functionality
- Improved php.ini handling
- E_DEPRECATED error level
- etc...
Infrastructure improvements
- Improved php.ini handling
- FastCGI always available with CGI SAPI
- New support for litespeed http server
- mysqlnd as PHP-specific replacement for libmysql
- Improved performance

Need to focus on few points to make a great website
The greatest challenge to having a presence in the online world lies in having a great website. How can yours be different, provide useful service and attention-catching? That's right, if you don't catch your visitors attention right away, statistics shows us that your visitors will come and go within 15 seconds or less.
1. Get Easy - Easy usable and understandable. Do it right. Let the visitor know it is easy to do business with you. Easy to order, easy to buy, easy to subscribe, easy to contact, get always help. Simplicity is actually key. Avoid the pomp exhibited by illustrations, animations, flashy images, java text scrolling, fade-ins, black spaces and GIF.
2. Site Navigation - Be sure that there is an organized hierarchy of text links on your site. Your home, service, contact page should be accessible from every page. Place the links that would take your visitors smoothly from one page to the next without causing confusion. Also navigation menu name should be meaningful, get easy meaning to reach there.
3. Genuine Content - An information-rich website ends up to a very popular one in the long run. Not only will your visitors obtain relevant data from your site - optimized content will also make your site fair well in the search engine results. Giving your entire web page no more than 40k-80k in size. Anything drastically more will result in the loss of many visitors from slow downloading pages.
4. Placement of Content & Graphics - Don’t over populate your site with images because search robots can’t understand them. But you need those anyway because users get drawn to images than they do with text. Balance is the key.
5. Get sticky - Next, it is important to make your Web site as “sticky” as possible. In the early days of the Internet, many business Web sites seemed like online Yellow Pages-type ad. Today, people expect more. They want a reason to stick around. This takes many forms:
- Have a straightforward site to promote your products or services
- Have an easy way to communicate with you or buy your products
- Have interesting articles or blogs
- Offer an e-newsletter
- Offer streaming video or podcasts
- Create message boards
- Connect with social bookmark sites
You get the idea. If you are going to sell products, make sure they are either unique or useful. Name brands are valuable, too.
6. Bullet Points - People tend to scan rather than read when they are online. Bullet points are good because they separate the text and are easy to scan quickly. Statistics show that odd numbered bullet points work best using 3-5 rather than 4-6.
7. Less is more - If you have seen Google’s website, you know what this means. Less bytes means faster loading of web pages.
8. Consistency in design is important - Don’t overdo your website that every page dons a different color scheme. Visitors may think that they’re in an entirely different site and leave. Go for uniform pages at all times.
9. Site Map & Search Feature - If you website is more than 20 pages, it is useful to have a site map or a “Search” feature to ensure your visitors can easily find what they’re looking for.
10. Browser Compatibility - Test your site using different browsers. What seems good with Internet Explorer may not look well for Mozilla. Test your pages with every popular browser used online to ensure a more professional look for your site. Now the latest browsers also very popular like as chrome and others.
11. Encourage Visitors - Why delay? Order today! Now is good, today is better! This word invites the visitor to take action today. Tell them why today is better than tomorrow and that's even better. Encourage them to buy from you today.
12. Make sure there are no broken links on your site - Nothing frustrates internet surfers more than seeing the “Page cannot be displayed” message on their computer screen.
13. Tell a Friend - Encourage your online visitors to spread the word about your site. Ask them to refer a friend and make it easy for them to do this.
14. Avoid mistakes - There are three mistakes people make when designing their small business site
- The site is too busy or looks unprofessional
- They spend too much
- There is no usability feedback so they don’t know what works or what people like.
15. More Information - Have a secure and automated server. Usage statistics, what's new, what's old (tours, outline), autoresponders, newsletter, bad URL checkers, and search engines are some of the tools webmasters should utilize. Keep notice on the following sections:
- Tracking
- Automation
- Searching
- Security
- Well-organized
- Interactive
- Responsive
- Attractive
Each web page should reflect the intended outlook of the whole site. Your main aim should be inform. Ensure you have sufficient information on what the site is all about. Have publications on the topics as well as tips. The basic rules of design should be reflected clearly. That is, rhythm, design, proportion, unity and dominance.

Good Web Development Team Structure
Always the site need to updated periodically. Your Web team may consist of a single skilled Web master. Just be careful of putting too much stock in one individual. A long-term absence could be catastrophic to the project, so always need dedicated team for a successful website development. Other sites may require weekly, daily, and in some cases, up-to-the-minute updates requiring round the clock attention. This team may consist of multiple system administrators, Web application programmers, Web masters, and project managers.
Project Manager:
The project manager is the key to a successful team. This person is fully responsible for more than just the site. They are responsible for the team's individual members, communication and follow-through. This position does not require specific programming or networking skills, however, a technical background is preferable. The project manager will be representing the team, and must be able to speak intelligently. One of their most important tasks is to gather the requirements of the site and understand the expectations of the client. They must understand the scope of the project to correctly convey the ideas to the team members. Good oral and written communication skills are essential, as are time management and organizational skills. They must possess the ability to lead team members, manage resources and be poised and confident to speak to management and clients regarding the progress of the team. Generally speaking, three to five years of project management experience is a good minimum requirement for this position.
Web Master:
A Web master is more than just someone who knows HTML and a few scripts. This person must also have good written skills, should be responsible for grammar and spelling, and will work closely with the client and Project Manager to determine the content of the site and layout. Depending on the size of the site, the Web master may also be responsible for graphic design. Knowledge of some programming knowledge and user interface knowledge is always desirable. Should a designer be available, the Web master should be the liaison to the team. A successful Web master must also be familiar with the internet server applications and environment. Three to five years of experience is typical for a qualified Web master.
Application Developer:
The Web Applications Developer is responsible for developing server side functionality for Web-based applications. This involves working with all aspects of the server and database. Common Internet programming languages preferable more than one programming language knowledge. Experience with database development and an understanding of the total project requirement are essential. They must be able to work with the project manager to analyze and interpret the client requirements and recommend solutions, so strong problem-solving and analytical skills are essential. Depending on the complexity of the applications, your developer should have anywhere from 2-4 years experience.
Systems Administrator:
A good SysAdmin can make the difference in a successful site. The site is only good if it can operate in a secure and stable environment. System administrators are generally responsible for building, maintaining and securing the Web, application and database servers in the Internet architecture. If your environment runs on Unix, an individual with firewall and Apache Web server background, along with 4-6 years of network administration experience, should possess the necessary skills to complete any Web team. Always the equipment necessary to host your own servers and provide 24/7 reliability. You have to account for backups, UPS, site monitoring, redundancy, server maintenance, security, and overall reliability.
Graphic Designer:
As I mentioned before, Web masters often have the basics of graphic design. However, if you have the resources, a graphics designer will greatly enhance your Web development team. The designer can assist in the creation of images and other graphical needs of the development project. You should expect a minimum of a four-year degree in fine arts or related field, and least two years of graphical design experience in a Web environment. Additionally, they should be proficient with the latest multimedia tools. Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator are recognized as the industry standard. Knowledge of layout, composition and color theory as well as experience with HTML is a plus.
Focus on the following points for a successful development team:
1. Effectively manage the team's activities, especially communication among the team members.
2. A solid plan is critical to accomplishing this task. The plan must be detailed, straightforward, and easy to understand.
3. Regular project updates should occur so the members may interact and discuss various tasks in depth. Keep in mind, must provide the space in front of team members to communicate openly, actively involved in the project, and involve the members in the planning from the beginning.
4. Need to aware about importance about the project and his position.
