Why Create Mobile Applications?

Mobile marketing and money transfer is critical for your business health. Companies who want to remain competitive in this current Internet market need to learn to develop an application for mobile devices that will best suit their customer requirements. The ease and flexibility provided by mobile apps have made them a key part of life for all Smart Phone users. It is extremely necessary for businesses to consider the mobile application as a vehicle for service or product sales.

ABCO Technology’s mobile apps development course will save you time and money by teaching you how to turn your website into a strong and powerful business asset. However, when you decide to develop Iphone apps or other applications, you need to consider these important things:

First of all, you must decide the kind of platform, which you are planning to use before embarking on your mobile apps development project. There are several popular mobile app platforms on the market but Iphone apps are by far the most popular. However, before creating an Iphone app, you should consider the other types of smart phone applications such as Palm Pre, Android, Windows, Symbian and Blackberry. Before developing any mobile-app, it is necessary for you to consider conducting extensive research on the types of mobile platforms your customers are currently using. Cellular application development is not an easy task, hence, before you embark on your mobile app development, get ready to preserve and invest considerably on this project; especially if you want this project to be a resounding success.

Never the less mobile development does require money and effort, but remember it is a worthwhile investment. While deciding on the type of mobile application that you should develop you must choose an application that best suits your business objectives as well as your customer requirements. Many businesses are in a hurry to develop mobile applications only to realize that their application has been soundly rejected by their customers because the app doesn't serve the purpose of which they are supposed to serve. So, before you decide on the type of mobile platform, first choose the type of mobile application that you want to develop.

Generally, mobile applications are developed for two main reasons.

1. To create direct income.

2. Great marketing strategy.

Some excellent Reasons for Developing an Iphone App for Your Business include: every business is developing some cellular phone application for their clients. Despite the fact that you shouldn't start cellular device development just because other businesses are doing it, you must learn how such a mobile application can benefit your customers. An Iphone mobile app is worthwhile for your business because it provides convenience and flexibility of conducting business with your customers. Certain applications provide your customers the flexibility and facility to place orders and pay for your services or products in the convenience of their own home. These types of mobile apps will market your products and services for you in an exceptional way. If you want to be competitive in your current market, you need to consider taking a mobile apps development course taught by ABCO Technology to help your business grow!

How to connect to a MySQL Database Using PHP - ABCO Technology

ABCO Technology explains, I'd like to explain to our students on creating a config file, which is the first part of creating any application.  I'll start from phpMyadmin.  Connect to the phpmyadmin interface for MySQL and create a database along with the user.  For this purpose we are going to assume that we are creating a blogtastic database for a web blog, and a user named blog_usr, with a password "password".  You will obviously have your own credentials, If the MySQL database and the PHP Code is on the same server, then your host will be "localhost", or you will have to type the name or IP address of your database server.

After the database is created, using a simple HTML editor, create a config file, in which you will create variables for your site.  These are variables that are going to be used throughout the site, and hence must be defined in the config.php file.  This also makes the website more scalable, as in the future, if you change the server or the database, you will have to only make the changes in one place.


The most important point to remember is the fact that on every page of your site, where you need to retrieve information from the database, or send information to the database, it is required to connect to the database at the very top.  


So here's a sample config.php file, that you must prepare at the start of every application.  Once the file is prepared, include this file at the top of every page using the include("config.php") or require ("config.php") function.  You may watch a video of this file at the following link: "ABCO Technology presents how to connect to MySQL from PHP"

SAMPLE CONFIG.PHP File:

<?php

//define the variables for the database

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuser = "root";
$dbpassword = "password";
$dbdatabase = "blogtastic";

//Other site related variables

$config_sitename = "The Ultimate Blog";
$config_baseurl = "http://localhost/projects/blogtastic";
$config_author = "ABCO Technology";

//functions to connect to the database

$db = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword); //connects to the database
if(!db){
echo "Not Connected to the database";
}

$dbselect = mysql_select_db($dbdatabase,$db); //selects the database

?>

Please feel free to write comments so we can get a proper feedback.  For more information please contact us at ABCO Technology at (310) 216-3067.  This blog is part of the Advanced PHP Course taught at ABCO Technology.  Visit our website for more details.
