Basic Syntax - PHP - P1
PHP is leaps and bounds above where it started. It’s a modern programming language that has Object Oriented capabilities. It’s the backbone of popular frameworks like Laravel. It’s great for the web and it makes writing web-based applications enjoyable. It can be used to produce both full-stack and back-end applications. With back-end applications, you have a choice for your front-end library or framework. With the Laravel backend framework, front end libraries like React or Vue tie in nicely.
I still see countless arguments against PHP, so I finally had enough. I’m going to show you how elegant this language can actually be. If you’re a beginner to programming in general, follow along and not only will you learn PHP, you’ll learn Computer Science concepts along the way.
If you are going to be following along, it’s probably beneficial for you to have a local development set up on your computer. PHP runs on the server, so you’ll need to make your computer think it’s the server. You can do this easily by downloading one of the following virtual servers and installing it onto your computer.
Windows: WAMP Server
Mac: MAMP Server
Linux: LAMP Server
I’m sure that you already guessed what the W, M, and L stand for: Windows, Mac, Linux. The AMP stands for Apache, MySQL, PHP, where Apache is the server software, MySQL is the database management system, and PHP is the programming language that we’re discussing. Just google your favorite stack and download/install them onto your machine.
You’ll also need some sort of IDE like JetBrains PHP Storm (paid) or Visual Studio Code (Free). I use both. There is nothing that you’ll read over the next 100ish articles that you will not be able to do with Visual Studio Code.
