Never Over-Comment Your Code:
As a PHP web developer, it is important for you to maintain proper documentation of your code through comments but it is
not necessary to comment every single line of your code. Only the complicated parts need to be commented so that you
can steer clear whenever you revisit it in future. Many a time a good code is very apparent in php web development.

Have Favorite Code Snippets Close-at-hand:
You will see that many of the codes will get repeated. Like you keep auto text in MS word ready at hand for repeated
phrases, you can also keep repeated code snippets at hand. This will help you save time during PHP programming. You can
avail of a number of applications that can help you sync your code snippet. Some of the applications you can use for code
snippets are snippely, code collector, snippet and snipplr.

You can also make use of easy to use and well organized directory called snippets. It contains text files and is synced in the
cloud using Dropbox.

Make Use of PHP Framework:
You can enhance your efficiency and productivity if you use PHP framework as it helps you to optimize your use of web
development patterns. It is most useful when you need to share your code with others or when you have to work with
them. It serves as a standardized platform for building web applications.

Link With Other PHP Developers:
Social media is growing like anything. Making use of it you can connect with other expert PHP developers. You can also join
any PHP community to interact with other developers. You will surely discover better ways of doing what you are currently
doing with mediocrity.

Keep Error Reporting During Development Stage:
When you are building your application, you should always keep error_reporting and display_errors turned on so that you
can view run-time errors that will help you identify the source of errors. In your server's php.ini file, you can set up run-time
configurations. In case you cannot access to override the directives in this file, you can set them on top of your PHP scripts.

Make a Configuration File:
To keep things more organized and not let your database connection settings scattered here and there, you can create a file
that contains its settings. This file can then be included in your PHP scripts. If any change is required in future then you can
just make changes in one file. This feature is especially useful when you have to use constants and functions throughout
multiple scripts.
