Now-a-days, many modern php frameworks like laravel, symfony, codeigniter and other libraries use the composer to manage their dependencies. So you need composer to install them on your machine. In case you don't know, Composer is the tool for dependency management in php . It allows you to declare the dependency libraries and packages required for a project and it will install, update and manage them for you. Composer will never maintain anything globally by default but rather on per-project basis. You need PHP 5.3.2 and above to use Composer. So make sure the system requirements are met before installing it on your machine. In addition, you must also make some changes to the php settings to make it work. Change Settings on php.ini: I hope you have XAMPP installed already on your machine. So before composer installation, do the following changes on your php.ini file. Go to [path-to-xampp]/php folder and open php.ini file. Locate the below lines one by one and remove th...

If you try to run the second one, it will fail since the port is already occupied. So unless you change the port for the latter, you can't run more than one web server at once. Below we will see the ways to change the port no. for apache and mysql. To Change Apache Port Number: Stop Apache server and exit XAMPP control panel if it is already running. First you must change the HTTP port. Go to [path-to-xampp-folder]/apache/conf folder and open http.conf file. The default port for Apache is '80'. Unless you have changed it, this is the port number you must replace. Now look f...

In general, a library is a class file used to group similar functionalities into a single file. Now we can do the same with helper but the libraries have their own object to store relevant data.
