PHP Making Requests With CURL
In this code snippet, we’ll see how to send HTTP requests with curl in PHP. Curl can be used to make HTTP request from the backend in PHP. In this desmonstration we’ll make a POST request to a test API.

In this post, we’ll learn how to implement reCAPTCHA on a website. Recaptcha is used to confirm that the user interaction on your site was made by a human and not by some script. For example, if you have a contact form on your website you would want to implement some human verification to prevent getting spammed by bots.
In this code snippet, we’ll learn how to perform string sanitization in PHP. An attacker might try to inject some malicious code into your backend. As a developer, you can prevent that by filtering/sanitizing and validating your data before working with it.
In this code snippet, we’ll learn how to read and write files with PHP. Let’s see the example below.
In this code snippet, we’ll learn how to upload files with Javascript. We will use the input HTML element and set its type to “file”. Then javascript can be used to retrieve the selected file from the input element and send it to the backend. You can use whatever you want for your backend: nodejs, PHP, Java or in this case I will use a C# Azure function.
In this code snippet, we’ll learn how to make graphs with Chart.js in Javascript. Chart.js is a very nice javascript library that allows you to visualize data by making different kinds of graphs/charts/plots. We’ll make a simple line graph in this example.
In this code snippet, we’ll learn how to perform downloads with Javascript. File downloads can be programmatically started with javascript by creating a temporary link element that points to your file. Then you add it to the DOM and call its click function to initiate the download. Finally, you can remove the link.
In this code snippet, we’ll look at web workers in Javascript. A web worker is a script that can run in the background separate from the main page javascript. This can be used to prevent blocking code. It could be considered like “multithreading” in javascript … kind of.
In this code snippet, we’ll learn how to make HTTP requests with fetch in Javascript. The first example will demonstrate how to fetch a get request with the minimum amount of code required. In the second one, we’ll make a function that can make any generic HTTP request, can send headers and checks for a seccesfull response before calling the provided calback function.
In this code snippet, we’ll learn how to access the browser local storage with Javascript. If you have the need to store the users data locally on their browser you can utilize session or local storage. Session storage will store data until the window is closed meanwhile local storage will keep the data even after the browser is closed. Other than that they are the same.
