e-commerce application and php server
-
I'm newbie to Android and PHP but I've decided to make a professional e-commerce application The php code is responsible to upload images and json files to the server Users download and upload from the server I've been electronic project manager for some years and I somewhat know how to do a project I somewhat know what is DFMEA, automatic validation, documentation, risk management , ... But since I'm new to this type of project, I'm always afraid of being confronted by something in the darkness while perhaps that thing is a very preliminary issue for even begginers hence, I need your help Even if this is a very very general question and normally is not a norm in forums, I hope you help me If you have something in mind which may be helpful, please mention It could be any type of information if you think it may be neglected even if it is very simple issue For example, recently I understand something about passwords of the users: It should not be stored in the database and something like MD5 should be used and the password should be salted and then the values be stored Thanks in advance

The first question I would ask is why you think Android is going to be useful here? PHP is fine for e-commerce, as you want to run it on a web server. Where do you think Android will fit into the project?

I got your point, you mean just a mobile responsive website design is enough? In fact to be honest I just saw many different applications which were designed for such a case Now that you're asking this question I have to think and find out the benefits of the app :) I read this nice article: Mobile Website vs. Mobile App (Application) – Which is Best for Your Organization? | Human Service Solutions[^] When I utilize app cause: 1 - I can be able not to ask customers to type a special address and go to my site 2 - I need camera to take a photo and upload it as a product 3 - I think app is better than website from popeganda point of view (It is more attractive) 4 - I can send advertising pop up's to special customers 5 - ...

Yes, you can do all those things. However, the e-commerce service must run on a website so your users can get access to it. That means it needs to be accessible via internet browsers. Creating an Android app to give the same service is a separate project. So you need one team to build the website, and another team to create the Android app, and most likely one for iOS.

Yes, I have plan for both but for now I have concentrated on the app which needs a server I thank you for your point (I did something but I didn't know why and now I know) Would you please continue if there are some other points?
Probably best to concentrate on the server first. You cannot test the app until you have at least some functionality on the server. And, of course, you can test the server features easily with any (preferably all) browsers. If you have specific problems then just open a question in the appropriate forum, and people will try to help.
