Nice!
Thank you @bobbyiliev ! If you have any feedback, feel free to share ✨
Totally agree. PHP is a mature language with a rich ecosystem. If the community embraces async extensions and long-running processes I think it will have a bright future.
Unfortunately I think it suffers from a lot of false misconceptions. I wrote about that here. Can you let me know what you think? dev.to/mcharytoniuk/programming-co...
Nice update for those who still think PHP 5 is the way of making PHP app. I agree after PHP 7, PSR, Composer, and framework like Symfony and Laravel things have improved a lot.
But still use right tool for right job, Python is still better choice for data science, ML, scrapping, bots etc. I will chose PHP over anything else for web application. Node and any JavaScript frontend library to make app that requires high concurrency and modern Web APIs.
Thank you for your comment. Totally agree to use the right tool for the right job. I'm a fan of PHP for web development, but depending on the context, I love using Go, Rust, Python, or Javascript (the choice depends on the type of the project). I am not ashamed to admit that in the past, when I was young, I also used Cobol and Visual Basic 🤣 .
Thanks a lot. Usually I find a working solution. But I´m unsure if my solution is good.
What about safety, how to deal with passwords etc... So I would like to use some code written by professionals, that do a better job than me.
Great post!
PHP will always be my favorite language, there's just so much you can do without using so many external libraries
Cool article ! I’ve enjoyed reading! No doubt that I will be doing more php work in the future.
We're in this together.
Lovely article keep it up
I often struggle to write and debug PHP code, but sometimes it's the only simple option to access a database or to find files on the server. Are there any standard libraries or example repositories you could recommend to make my life easier?
one great and free resouce is phptherightway.com/
another (paid) resource is front-line-php.com/
Great, Exactly what I need!
Thank you for this post
But as I see more jobs towards (Js, python)
please see as a fresher
if I learn about larval how can I see my future (asking only)
If your area has more jobs on any tech stack go for that no problem. Laravel is great any tool is great if you can master the core language and database and underlying concepts beside it.
You are right but I need an opinion
I mean to say that if I learn larval (I have to learn it anyway)or master it
There could be jobs for larval developers (In startups)
Startups !== Small IT Business. Just look forward to the jobs in startups its not possible to know which startup uses which tech stacks.
If you have to learn just go for it. Try to understand core php and put a lot of effort in Databases specially sql. I believe you should do well. But with Laravel there are lots of Freelancing and remote job opportunities if you are well skilled.Best of luck in whatever path you select.
yes I enhancing myself in SQL and PHP Can you share some good resources
how can I find growth-oriented jobs for this tech stack (less than one 1 year experience )
PHP is great, just remember: libraries == Good, frameworks == Evil
The structure of PHP 🐘is worse like in java and c# we use split() but here u have to use explode()💥 still 70% web pages are using PHP🙂
