I'm a php death now You have no friends php is not dead. Is it split split split? Explode word press And a million others they all can't be wrong Wikipedia and Facebook use PHP. Well used PHP. It's a hacky programming language using PHP allows you to support a hacker culture and Getting hacked it's like saying knife can be used for bad things But does that make a knife bad? You know what on a serious note the web one wouldn't have existed Without PHP and the web 2 wouldn't be as cautious of security issues exam a patchy Maria DB PHP pearl perfect recipe for disaster. Of course. We use it man lamp Wham guitar and they all lost their job because of cloud We still use the lamp and we're not PHP my admin almost feels nostalgic Well, now it's being developed by the community.

We don't really talk about what happened in between Backward compatibility is overrated. It always helps rewriting code especially in PHP Do you know how many jobs were created because of that PHP 7 thing? Well, I got one and I'm proud of it the session is super global with no controls around it the cookie is super global when Using utils. Sometimes the subject is first. Sometimes it's last. It's a bit of an art to understand it Well, I still don't understand it and that's okay Multi-threaded Single-threaded. Yeah, it has the inherent performance disadvantages all interpreted languages have Include once like why would you include multiple times? Let's talk about SQL and Jax. Well, let's not get off topic here There's enough wrong with PHP itself spaceship operator tiny spaceship operator battleship Operator X fighters death star operator All right now I'm joking or maybe not who knows in this language Well, I certainly don't if you do use any of them. Let me review your code first It's likely there's something wrong with it more jobs all this These are mostly just common is that yield from and switch go to and my favorite one exit kill die PHP final underscore underscore is set underscore underscore dear underscore underscore Bar dump is like an evolution of print bar down bar down only in PHP. What does PHP stand for? power purposeful hyper power Language Zen framework Symphony these big frameworks all can't be wrong Django. Oh, that's Python Laravel eloquence Composer now we're getting somewhere. It's like either you use Laravel or you just don't use PHP Laravel is one of the best frameworks out there among all ecosystems Laravel is a full stack framework by full stack We mean that you're going to use Laravel to do the app routing and the data handling and you're going to use JavaScript for the front end. It's 2022 JavaScript. I mean PHP is everywhere except in all sane Services on the internet bringing PHP back in 2022 Or maybe not and you're going to use Java script But once you use Laravel, it's allowed to use PHP and all those things will be in PHP 9 in 2035 yeah, I've been homeless for a while But luckily I found a new job. I take off the trash for the neighbors No, I'm not a PHP dev bringing PHP back in 2022 or maybe not Oh, it's Laravel 5 won't work with your PHP 7. Oh, it's Laravel 5.2. You should work with your 7.1 Oh, it's PHP 5 won't work with your PHP 7. Oh, it's Laravel 5.8 Won't work with your PHP 7.1.2. Oh missing semicolon missing apostrophe Oh, it's actually a semicolon too much in that SQL statement. The die command is my favorite not deprecated deprecated deprecated deprecated deprecated not deprecated but safe not safe but not deprecated You can't really fail a WordPress setup. Oh, man. Oh for good a semicolon. Ah Yeah Semicolon, let me tell you about Laravel 5.9 But let me tell PHP devs are not paid badly. We see dollar signs all the time PHP is everywhere. It's not going to die PHP used to be a good language and it still is have you heard of Laravel?
