php difference between echo and print

Echo can accept multiple expressions while print cannot. For performance echo is faster than print since it does not return a value.
Print always returns 1 (integer).
Echo does not return any value.

php difference between session and cookie

The main difference between cookies and sessions is that cookies are stored in the user's browser, and sessions are not.

Cookies will only expire on expiry time or if you explicitly clean cookie / cache of your browser. Cookies will retain into the system even after you open your browser next day. Cookies are stored on client's system so they are less secure.

Session will expire on its expiry time or if the browser has been closed. As session is stored on server so it is more secure.

So for a log-in module, a combination of session and cookie should be used.

php difference between include and require

require will throw a PHP Fatal Error if the file cannot be loaded. (Execution stops)

include produces a Warning if the file cannot be loaded. (Execution continues)

Magento Custom Shipping Module

In this blog i have describe how to create custom shipping module in magento.

I have used one method for this module named "My_Ship".

There are 3 primary things required for create this module.
1) system.xml
2) config.xml
3) Shipping Module

Step 1

Create system.xml file in app\code\local\Deb\Ship\etc folder, then use the below code in this file.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<sections>
<carriers>
<groups>
<express translate="label">

<show_in_store>1</show_in_store>
</specificerrmsg>
</fields>
</express>

</groups>
</carriers>
</sections>
</config>

Step 2

Create one config.xml file in app\code\local\Deb\Ship\etc folder and used the below code.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Deb_Ship>
<version>0.1.0</version>
</Deb_Ship>
</modules>
<global>
<models>
<ship>
<class>Deb_Ship_Model</class>
</ship>
</models>
</global>
<default>
<carriers>
<express>
<active>0</active>
<sallowspecific>0</sallowspecific>
<model>shipping/carrier_express</model>
<name>Express</name>
<price>5.00</price>
<title>Express</title>
<type>I</type>
<specificerrmsg>This shipping method is currently unavailable. If you would like to ship using this shipping method, please contact us.</specificerrmsg>
<handling_type>F</handling_type>
</express>

</carriers>
</default>
</config>

Step 3

Create one Express.php file in app\code\local\Deb\Ship\Model\Carrier folder and used the below code.

<?php
class Deb_Ship_Model_Carrier_Express
extends Mage_Shipping_Model_Carrier_Abstract
implements Mage_Shipping_Model_Carrier_Interface
{
protected $_code = 'express';
public function collectRates(Mage_Shipping_Model_Rate_Request $request)
{
if (!$this->getConfigFlag('active')) {
return false;
}
$freeBoxes = 0;
if ($request->getAllItems()) {
foreach ($request->getAllItems() as $item) {
if ($item->getFreeShipping() && !$item->getProduct()->isVirtual()) {
$freeBoxes+=$item->getQty();
}
}
}
$this->setFreeBoxes($freeBoxes);
$result = Mage::getModel('shipping/rate_result');
if ($this->getConfigData('type') == 'O') { // per order
$shippingPrice = $this->getConfigData('price');
} elseif ($this->getConfigData('type') == 'I') { // per item
$shippingPrice = ($request->getPackageQty() * $this->getConfigData('price')) - ($this->getFreeBoxes() * $this->getConfigData('price'));
} else {
$shippingPrice = false;
}
$shippingPrice = $this->getFinalPriceWithHandlingFee($shippingPrice);
if ($shippingPrice !== false) {
$method = Mage::getModel('shipping/rate_result_method');
$method->setCarrier('express');
$method->setCarrierTitle($this->getConfigData('title'));
$method->setMethod('express');
$method->setMethodTitle($this->getConfigData('name'));
if ($request->getFreeShipping() === true || $request->getPackageQty() == $this->getFreeBoxes()) {
$shippingPrice = $this->getConfigData('price');
}
$method->setPrice($shippingPrice);
$method->setCost($shippingPrice);
$result->append($method);
}
return $result;
}
public function getAllowedMethods()
{
return array('express'=>$this->getConfigData('name'));
}
}

?>

Then create xml file for active this module in magento store.

Create Deb_Ship.xml in app\etc\modules and used the below code.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Deb_Ship>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</Deb_Ship>
</modules>
</config>
