This book will take you from beginner-level to professional PHP programming, through hundreds of in-depth examples and hands-on exercises. You’ll explore best practices for developing fast, secure, and easy-to-maintain websites, while establishing a broad foundation of programming knowledge and experience. PHP is one of the engines that drive the internet: it plays a role both in what the user sees on web pages and in what happens behind the scenes, such as processing form submissions, talking to other websites, and interacting with databases. PHP is currently in its eighth major version, so as well as being tried and tested, it’s faster and more secure than ever before. It’s a free, open source, and well-maintained language. While other popular web programming languages are available, about 70 percent of the web is run by PHP programs, including Etsy, Facebook (using its dialect of PHP, called Hack), Spotify, Wikipedia, and WordPress. PHP also has a relatively shallow learning curve. We’ll start off with just a few lines of code, and once you’re comfortable with the basics, we’ll move on to larger, more structured web application systems.
