With the rapid development of smart phones, mobile applications have also become an indispensable part of people. WeChat mini program is an application that does not require downloading and installation. Users can use it directly in WeChat. At present, WeChat mini programs have become a very popular application form, and more and more companies and individuals are choosing to develop WeChat mini programs. This article will introduce how to use PHP to develop WeChat mini programs.

1. Understand the basic principles and architecture of WeChat Mini Program

WeChat Mini Program is an application developed based on WeChat public account. Its core function is a small application running in WeChat. program. The WeChat applet adopts an architecture design with front-end and back-end separation. The front-end uses technologies such as WXML, WXSS, and JS, and the back-end uses technologies such as PHP and Node.js for development. In WeChat mini programs, the front end is responsible for user interface display and user interaction, and the back end is responsible for data interaction and business logic. Data interaction occurs between the front end and the back end through API interfaces to realize various functions of the mini program.

2. Use PHP to implement the back-end interface of the WeChat applet

1. Configure the WeChat applet development environment

Use PHP to develop the WeChat applet Before that, you need to configure the PHP development environment and WeChat applet development environment. Specifically, you need to register a developer account in the WeChat public platform developer center and create a mini program; at the same time, you need to install and configure the corresponding libraries and environments in the PHP environment.

2. Implementing the API interface of the WeChat mini program

To implement the API interface of the WeChat mini program in PHP, you need to first understand the development specifications of the WeChat public platform and the calling of the API interface Way. Specifically, you need to create an application in the WeChat public platform and obtain the corresponding appid and appsecret, and then obtain the access_token and process the business logic by calling the API interface provided by WeChat.

The following is a PHP code that implements the WeChat applet API interface:

<?php
//微信小程序的AppID和AppSecret
$appid = "your_appid";
$secret = "your_secret";

//獲取access_token
function getAccessToken()
{
    global $appid, $secret;
    $url = "https://api.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/token?grant_type=client_credential&appid=".$appid."&secret=".$secret;
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    $output = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    $json = json_decode($output, true);
    return $json["access_token"];
}

The above code is a function to obtain access_token. It obtains the access_token by calling the WeChat API interface and returns it to the caller. Through this function, we can easily implement the API interface of WeChat applet in PHP.

3. Use PHP to implement data interaction in WeChat mini programs

In WeChat mini programs, the backend is mainly responsible for data interaction and business logic processing. As a commonly used back-end language, PHP is very suitable for realizing data interaction in WeChat mini programs. Below we will introduce how to use PHP to implement data interaction in WeChat mini programs.

1. Connect to the database

First, we need to connect to the database. In PHP, we can use libraries such as mysqli or PDO to connect to the database. The following is an example of PHP code to connect to a MySQL database:

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "myDB";

// 創(chuàng)建連接
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// 檢測(cè)連接
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("連接失敗: " . $conn->connect_error);
} 
echo "連接成功";
?>

The above code uses the mysqli library to connect to the MySQL database. We only need to fill in the corresponding parameters to easily connect to the database.

2. Realize data interaction

After connecting to the database, we can use PHP to implement data interaction in the WeChat applet. Specifically, we can implement relevant API interfaces through PHP and use MySQL to store and operate data. The following is an example of PHP code that implements the WeChat applet API interface:

<?php
//獲取用戶信息
function getUserInfo($openid)
{
    global $conn;
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE openid='".$openid."'";
    $result = $conn->query($sql);
    if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
        while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
            return $row;
        }
    } else {
        return null;
    }
}

The above code is an API interface for obtaining user information. It obtains the corresponding user information from the database and returns it to the caller.

4. Summary

This article introduces how to use PHP to develop WeChat mini programs. By analyzing the basic principles and architecture of WeChat mini programs, and using PHP to implement the corresponding API interfaces and data interactions, we can quickly and efficiently develop our own WeChat mini programs. With the continuous development of WeChat mini programs, PHP, as a commonly used back-end language, will play an increasingly important role in the development of WeChat mini programs.
