6 min readTo use file_get_contents() with HTTPS, you need to enable the OpenSSL extension in your PHP configuration. Once enabled, you can retrieve the contents of an HTTPS resource by following these steps:Check if the OpenSSL extension is enabled: Create a new PHP file (e.g., check_openssl.php). Open it in a text editor, and put the following code inside: Save the file and access it through the browser. This will display a message indicating whether OpenSSL is enabled or not.

9 min readDelegation is a powerful design pattern in Kotlin that allows objects to delegate some of their responsibilities to another object. It provides an alternative to class inheritance, promoting code reuse and enhancing modularity.To implement delegation in Kotlin, you can follow these steps:Create an interface that defines the common behavior or functionality that needs to be delegated. This interface will be implemented by both the delegate and the delegator classes.
