PHP 7 Data Structures and Algorithms: Implement linked lists, stacks, and queues using PHP

Key Features

Gain a complete understanding of data structures using a simple approach
Analyze algorithms and learn when you should apply each solution
Explore the true potential of functional data structures

Book Description

PHP has always been the the go-to language for web based application development, but there are materials and resources you can refer to to see how it works. Data structures and algorithms help you to code and execute them effectively, cutting down on processing time significantly.

If you want to explore data structures and algorithms in a practical way with real-life projects, then this book is for you.

The book begins by introducing you to data structures and algorithms and how to solve a problem from beginning to end using them. Once you are well aware of the basics, it covers the core aspects like arrays, listed lists, stacks and queues. It will take you through several methods of finding efficie nt algorithms and show you which ones you should implement in each scenario. In addition to this, you will explore the possibilities of functional data structures using PHP and go through advanced algorithms and graphs as well as dynamic programming.

By the end, you will be confident enough to tackle both basic and advanced data structures, understand how they work, and know when to use them in your day-to-day work

What you will learn

Gain a better understanding of PHP arrays as a basic data structure and their hidden power
Grasp how to analyze algorithms

This book shows readers how to navigate WordPress' vast set of API functions to create high-quality plugins with easy-to-configure administration interfaces.

With new recipes and materials updated for the latest versions of WordPress 4.x, this second edition teaches you how to create plugins of varying complexity ranging from a few lines of code to complex extensions that provide intricate new capabilities.

You'll start by using the basic mechanisms provided in WordPress to create plugins and execute custom user code. You will then see how to design administration panels, enhance the post editor with custom fields, store custom data, and modify site behavior based on the value of custom fields. You'll safely incorporate dynamic elements on web pages using scripting languages, and build new widgets that users will be able to add to WordPress sidebars and widget areas.

By the end of this book, you will be able to create WordPress plugins to perform any task you can imagine.

What you will learn

Discover how to register user callbacks with WordPress, forming the basis of plugin creation
Explore the creation of administration pages and adding new content management sections through custom post types and custom database tables
Improve your plugins by customizing the post and page editors, categories and user profiles, and creating visitor-facing forms
Make your pages dynamic using Javascript, AJAX and adding new widgets to the platform
Learn how to add support for plugin translation and distribute your work to the WordPress community

Who This Book Is For

If you are a WordPress user, developer, or a site integrator with basic knowledge of PHP and an interest to create new plugins to address your personal needs, client needs, or share with the community, then this book is for you.
