1st - Avoid Over Commented Codes:
The first tip that I think you need to keep in mind all throughout, is to avoid over commenting your codes. I know its important for you to keep your codes well-documented, but of-course you can always avoid to comment every single 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.
Preparing a Set of Favorite Code Snippets:
PHP is a sheer code based web development tool and you'll see you are repeating a set of codes regularly. So it is advisable to keep a few close-at-hand. 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 not only save a lot of your programming time, but will also help you in shining your PHP skills by acquiring a great number of codes.
Using PHP Frame Work:
This is also advisable to make use of PHP Framework in terms of enhancing your efficiency and productivity. PHP Framework mostly helps you in working as a team in case more than one developer is working on a same project. Being a standardized platform for building web applications this will help you in optimizing your web development skills.
Report Your Errors:
Its important to report your errors during the development stage. It is advisable to keep error_reporting and display_errors turned. This will help you in viewing run-time errors; which will add-in identifying the source of errors. Set run time configurations on your server's PHP.ini file. On the other hand, in case you cannot access to override the directives in this file, you can set them on top of your PHP scripts.
