Both GET and POST are used to collect data from a form. However, when security is desired $_POST should be used. When the $_ POST variable is used, all variables used are NOT displayed in the URL. Also, they have no restrictions to the length of the variables. GET should be used when the interaction with the form is more like a question. For e.g. firing a query etc. POST should be used more often when the interaction is more like an order or the interaction changes the state of the resource.

POST example:

<form action="sample.php" method="post">

Name: <input type="text" name="name" />

Age: <input type="text" name="age" />

<input type="submit" />

</form>

On clicking submit the URL resembles to: https://www.mysamplesite.com/sample.php

The sample.php file can be used for catching the form data using $_POST 

Hello <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>.<br />

You are <?php echo $_POST["age"]; ?> years old!

GET EXAMPLE

<form action="sample.php" method="get">

Name: <input type="text" name="name" />

Age: <input type="text" name="age" />

<input type="submit" />

</form>

On clicking submit the URL resembles to : https://www.mysamplesite.com/sample.php?name=jim&age=37

The sample.php file can be used for catching the form data using $_GET 

Hello <?php echo $_GET["name"]; ?>.<br />

You are <?php echo $_GET["age"]; ?> years old!

Opendir():- It opens the directory. This function returns a directory stream on success and FALSE and an error on failure.

Syntax:

Opendir(directory, context)

Context is a set of options that can modify the behavior of a stream

Example: opens sample directory.

$dir = opendir("directory");

Readdir(): It returns an entry from a directory handle opened by opendir().

Syntax:

Readdir(dir_stream)

Example:

$file = readdir($dir);

closedir(): It closes a directory handle opened by opendir().

Syntax:

closedir(dir_stream)

Example:

$file = close($dir);

In the template specialization, it will make the template to be specific for some data types.

You can implement a condition by using either of the following ways:

     =>   By creating a rule condition - Specifies that you can implement conditions either directly in code or by using a tool, called the Rule Condition Editor. Rule conditions are stored in a separate Extensible Markup Language (XML) file. When a rule condition occurs in a workflow, the expression in a condition is evaluated and a Boolean value is returned.

     =>   By creating a code condition - Refers to defining a condition directly in code. A code condition can be created by writing a method in the code. The method contains code for the condition and returns a Boolean value.

Parallel/audit testing is testing where the user reconciles the output of the new system to the output of the current system to verify the new system performs the operations correctly. Let us say, for example, the currently software is in the mainframe system which calculates the interest rate. The company wants to change this mainframe system to web-based application. While testing the new web based application, we need to verify that the web-based application calculates the same interest rate. This is parallel testing.

The Change and Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and then transport the changes between the SAP Systems and clients in your system landscape. This documentation provides you with an overview of how to manage changes with the CTS and essential information on setting up your system and client landscape and deciding on a transport strategy. Read and follow this documentation when planning your development project.

Class can have a public method for specific data type conversions.
for example:
class B
{
double value;
public  B(int i )
operator double()
{
return value;
}
};
B BObject;
double i = BObject; // assigning object to variable i of type double.
now conversion operator gets called to assign the value.
