The Art of Modern PHP 8 walks you through the latest PHP features and language concepts. The book helps you upgrade your knowledge of PHP programming and practices. Starting with object-oriented programming (OOP) in PHP and related language features, you’ll work through modern programming techniques such as inheritance, understand how it contrasts with composition, and finally look at more advanced language features. You’ll learn about the MVC pattern by developing your own MVC system and advance to understanding what a DI container does by building a toy DI container. The book gives you an overview of Composer and how to use it to create reusable PHP packages. You’ll also find techniques for deploying these packages to package libraries for other developers to explore.
By the end of this PHP book, you’ll have equipped yourself with modern server-side programming techniques using the latest versions of PHP.
