Over three years after&nbsp;Google&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/google-just-paid-25-million-to-buy-the-entire-app-web-domain-2015-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paid $25 million</a>&nbsp;to gain the exclusive rights to the &ldquo;.app&rdquo; top-level domain, the company is at last making .app domains available to register starting today and running through May 7, at 9 AM PDT via Google&rsquo;s Early Access Program. The following day, May 8, the domains will go on sale for the general public, including through other registrars.
The new top-level domain (TLD) is an obvious choice for app developers and others in the tech industry, as it serves as an easy-to-remember alternative to .com domains &ndash; where inventory has long been running low for popular words. In addition to the expected demand, Google is requiring HTTPS for all. app websites. This built-in security protects against ad malware, tracking injection by internet service providers, and safeguards against spying on open Wi-Fi networks, the company explains. Google has been an advocate of pushing the web towards HTTPS adoption, noting last fall&nbsp;<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/20/https-is-booming-says-google/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that 64 percent of traffic through its Chrome browser</a>&nbsp;on Android was protected, up from 42 percent the year before. Chrome traffic on Mac was up to 75 percent, and on Windows up to 66 percent at the same time. The increases were due to a number of actions on Google&rsquo;s part, including its&nbsp;decision&nbsp;to flag all websites using HTTP to transmit private information as &ldquo;insecure.&rdquo; This year,&nbsp;<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2018/02/08/chrome-will-soon-mark-all-unencrypted-pages-as-not-secure/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Google said it would mark all pages without HTTPS</a>&nbsp;encryption as insecure starting in July with the launch of Chrome 68. Given its plans, it makes sense that Google&rsquo;s new domain addition would also include HTTPS protection built-in. Still, it&rsquo;s something of a milestone, Google notes. &ldquo;Because .app will be the first TLD with enforced security made available for general registration, it&rsquo;s helping move the web to an&nbsp;<a href="https://security.googleblog.com/2018/02/a-secure-web-is-here-to-stay.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HTTPS-everywhere future</a>&nbsp;in a big way,&rdquo; the company writes in its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.blog.google/topics/developers/introducing-app-more-secure-home-apps-web/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announcement</a>&nbsp;of the new TLD. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-71 size-full" src="../../../../uploads/1744909050424-get-app-screenshot.png" alt="" width="1512" height="800"> Prior to the public launch of .app, Google had reached out to potential candidates, offering them a first crack at grabbing a .app domain in order to showcase the potential use cases. Some of those who are already live on .app domains include Outdoor Voices, Cash App, Sitata, Albert, Picnic, Trail, BNEXT, Bark, CallApp, The Podcast App, Pickle, MenaVR and many others from around the world. The company also removed the requirement that limited the domain to app developers, though Google suggests the name makes the most sense in that market. In an&nbsp;<a href="https://domainnamewire.com/2018/03/07/app-domains-are-coming-qa-with-google/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview last month with Domain Name Wire</a>, Google said that it aims to make .app domains affordable &ndash; it expects the pricing to be less than its other TLDs like .how or .soy, for example. The site said that would mean wholesale pricing would be around $10-12 and retail registrations would be $20. (Pricing was not detailed in today&rsquo;s announcement, however.) Interested .app domain shoppers can register their domain of choice today through May 7, 2018 starting at 9 AM PDT, if they want to pay the additional fee for early access ahead of the domain&rsquo;s launch to the public through other registrars. More info is on the&nbsp;<a href="https://get.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">get.app website</a>.

Uploading files on AWS S3 is very easy with AWS Javascript SDK. We're going to upload files to S3 in some simple steps.
Before going to next steps, I'm assuming you already have a file stored in fileToBeUpload variable in Javascript.
Let's Begin.
<h3>Step 1: Add the AWS SDK into the head section of your file.</h3>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">&lt;script src="<a href="https://sdk.amazonaws.com/js/aws-sdk-2.1.24.min.js">https://sdk.amazonaws.com/js/aws-sdk-2.207.0.min.js</a>"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; </pre>
<h3>Step 2: Initiate the AWS Configuration.</h3>
There are two to initialize the AWS Configuration.
A. By using the AWS Key &amp; Secret Key but it is not advisable to display your keys directly on page.
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
&nbsp; &nbsp; AWS.config.update({
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; accessKeyId: 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY',
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; secretAccessKey: 'AWS_SECRET_KEY',
 region: 'AWS_REGION'
&nbsp; &nbsp; });
&lt;/script&gt;</pre>
B. By using the AWS Identity Pool Id (I recommand using the identityPoolId)
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
&nbsp; &nbsp; AWS.config.update({
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; credentials: new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({
 IdentityPoolId: 'AWS_Identity_Pool_Id'
 }),
 region: 'AWS_REGION'
&nbsp; &nbsp; });
&lt;/script&gt;</pre>
<h3>Step 3: Lets start the uploading</h3>
<div>
<pre>var bucketName = "AWS_BUCKET_NAME"; var fileToBeUpload = "FILE_TO_BE_UPLOAD"; var filePath = "demo/user_uploaded/"; // File will be saved to this folder on aws s3. // Initialize the AWS Object var bucket = new AWS.S3({ apiVersion: "2006-03-01", params: { Bucket: bucketName }, }); var params = { Key: filePath, ContentType: fileToBeUpload.type, Body: fileToBeUpload, ContentDisposition: "attachment", // if you want to enable file download via public url. }; /* turn off the timeout (Optional) */ AWS.config.httpOptions.timeout = 0; // upload file bucket.upload(params).on("httpUploadProgress", function (evt) { var uploaded = Math.round((evt.loaded / evt.total) * 100); console.log("File uploaded", uploaded, "%"); }) .send(function (err, data) { if (err) { // an error occurred, handle the error console.log(err, err.stack); return; } var fileUrl = data.Location; console.log("File URL:", fileUrl); alert("File is uploaded successfully!"); });</pre>
</div>
To upload the file successfully, you need to enable CORS configuration on S3.
Please comment below if you have any question.

Before taking any action with date input, it always a great idea to validate the date string. Date validation helps to check whether the provided string is a valid date format. Using the DateTime class you can easily check if the date string is valid in PHP. In the example code snippet, we will show you how to validate a date string in PHP. It is very useful for server-side validation of the date input using PHP. The&nbsp;validateDate()&nbsp;function checks whether the given string is a valid date using PHP. It uses PHP DateTime class to validate date based on the specified format. This function returns TRUE if date string is valid, otherwise FALSE.
<ul class="bullet_disk_list">
<li><code>$date</code>&nbsp;&ndash; Required. The date string to validate.</li>
<li><code>$format</code>&nbsp;&ndash; Optional. The format of the date string.</li>

Before submitting the user&rsquo;s input to the server-side, it&rsquo;s always a good approach to validate it on the client-side script. The Name input is a commonly used field for the HTML form of the web application. When you want the full name input from the user, the input value must be checked whether the user provides a valid name (first name and last name). Using JavaScript, the full name validation can be easily implemented in the form to check whether the user provides their first name and last name. The REGEX (Regular Expression) is the easiest way to validate Full Name (first name + last name) format in JavaScript. In the following code snippet, we will show you how to validate the first and last name with Regular Expression using JavaScript.
<ul class="bullet_disk_list">
<li>test()&nbsp;&ndash; This function is used to perform a regular expression match in JavaScript.</li>
</ul>
