One language to rule them all....
Holy shit 🤣😂
Can't wait for the secret boss (C).
It legit felt like the final episode idk why.

No matter how much hate PHP gets, it'll always have a special place in my heart. I built a crappy backend for a mobile app I made to enter a software competition back in 2012. All vanilla PHP, no frameworks. Good memories.
I'm still writing app backends in PHP with no framework/pure PHP and I get 20 - 40 ms response times. And the code is following 2021's security best practices.
@@redguard128 Nice 👍🏼 Any resources you'd recommend? I'd like to dip my toes in it again just for the fun of it.

True
Same. I may not like PHP as much as I did when I first started coding, but it earns a lot of my respect

Same here. It was one of the first languages I learned in college and I just had to see the video when I saw it.
;)
So have I (also for 7 years).
I've been doing it professionally for 6 years and personally for 10 or so.
Man I feel old! Been doing PHP for nearly 20 years myself! 😮
PHP is like that silent guy in the back that no one talks to or about but deeply inside they all know he's the boss.
THAT’S WHY IT’S PHP
That acronym drove me insane for so long and somehow no one I’ve asked knew it’s origin
I can finally free myself of this burden lmao
Should've looked into Wikipedia, it's in the first paragraph 😅
have you ever googled something?
You missed the strong typing that it has as of PHP 7, it's a great addon that they added
Isn't that just type hinting?
@@MrMudbill it's optional to hint scalar/built-in types or declare return types, but decent frameworks like Symfony make good use of this and it's always recommended to use strict typing to prevent bugs from happening
@@MrMudbill Types are enforced by the engine, so no they are not type hints, but type declarations.
@@MrMudbill it's not type hinting because it will throw exceptions if you're sending an int for a string param in a function
@@dunste123 dynamic type checking for function parameters != strong typing. that's preposterous
Though please be aware, modern PHP is very heavily typed. Variables are not typed, but object properties, function parameters, and function returns have a very robust type system to support them. They're all technically optional, but nearly all professional code these days is fairly heavily typed. It's also impressively fast for a nominally interpreted language. (It's actually compiled to bytecode first, then that's cached and executed.)
We also basically never mix HTML and PHP in one file anymore. 🙂
As a primary PHP dev, this video hit me in the feels.
This made me miss PHP. It hasn't been long, only about 8 months since I last coded in PHP, but I do miss it 😂
The most thing i love about php is date function
I've found that everyone who was a PHP developer, and leaves PHP Development, always misses working in PHP.
@@MarisaClardy I used to be a php dev some years ago and I love so much the thing that I don't do php anymore. Thanks god

PHP will always have a special place in my heart. At a time when, as a student, I was struggling to make ends meet, PHP freelance jobs were what kept me from sinking.

I have been coding in php since 2011. It has given me endless opportunities and made me the developer I am today. After learning laravel recently I don't think I will be abandoning php anytime soon.
Thank you! last night i was writing some php code for my own CMS to enable its own search engine. it worked well eventually. after every night in which i added some php codes to my CMS, in the next morning, i feel like i'am completed and rewarded of my own. still it is 7 months i started learning php properly. php is making my expectation fulfill. i am not a programmer in profession but love programming.
PHP deserves more love. It's great how simple it is to use and how flexible it can be.

Never thought that a video on PHP could be so interesting!
Well php IS interesting
Ahh it brings back memories. PHP is like my first car, not that great, but it took me where I wanted to go.
Your content creation within the boundaries of 100 seconds always amazes, just WOW !!
Most concise video ever on PHP! Love PHP and love the video. PHP and Laravel developer here.
PHP is one of the most hated just because it's one of the most used. Excellent video.
Java dev:
- I had to work once on php project, it was so bad.
PHP dev:
- I had to work with multiple Java projects, and most of them were full of sh*t.
Summary: don't judge programming language based on the legacy projects you were given to work with.
Yea the difference is that most of Php devs do know how to use javascript at some or another level. While JavaScript developers usually dont even touch Backend. :)
Plus, 9/10 there are no or were very little standards in the code style.
php is a Door of every web developer 😍 Man thank you so much.
not really, lol
no, it's not
lol, not for the last 5-10 years no.
Php was my first back end language. Love your 100 seconds videos. Waiting for more
I've been 14 years since my journey begin as developer and still my main language is PHP.
Really very nostalgic time when starting from vanilla, procedural PHP with mysql_connect function, then making my own framework(TBH sucks haha), then switching to Codeigniter then finally Laravel.
Great bro. Where you work?
I took the exact same path. Vanilla, CodeIgniter then finally Laravel. After Laravel: I never looked back (or even at alternatives). It's soooo amazing!
Laravel it's just the most amazing thing that i could learning on my dev carrer
Yeah so Far Laravel is extremely amazing. Do many thing under the hood so that developer only can focus on making the app.
But you know that's also toxic when you have to code in other language and you cannot do whatever you usually do, and feels AAAAARGGHHHH~~!!!! hahahaha
CodeIgniter/Kohana was a breath of fresh air when it came out, compared to doing PHP backends from scratch every time. Then Rails came out, and I never went back to PHP, except to maintain old projects. Laravel is good because it essentially was a Rails port for PHP.
Didn't expect to see PHP since it gets so much unwarranted (read: old) hate, so thank you lol. Please do a follow up with Laravel in 100 seconds! It's incredible how many things can be done with it, and I've loved working with it professionally, and I can argue it can do things the same as competitors like Java and C#, with the same code quality, if the right people with the right mindset work on the codebase. And the development time and basic setup are so much faster as well.
Mess of namespaces and services
Laravel is my favourite framework in any language. I find it's people who don't know Laravel who hate PHP.
@@mdbk2 I feel for you.
Symfony would be better suited, everyone knows Laravel, Symfony doesn't get enough love.
@@mdbk2 can you name one rule of "good programming" that Laravel breaks?
PHP is what made me choose Web development as my career. It's the language i used for building my thesis website in my final college years.
I was waiting until you made this video fireship. VERY surprised you made it this late. Perfect content my friend.
This #100SecondsOfCode series is just pure art!
Fantastic work as always Jeff!
PHP FTW, I've been using it for 10 years now. The language is developing over time. The latest versions and features they're coming with are damn good. Great community and development team.
Really, dude?
@@sergeygreyse4171lmfao
next up laravel? Mentioned here, maybe a dedicated video would be cool
Php 8 is way different than php 5, I wish you’ve showed what people are missing nowadays…
where do you recommend people learn? Thank you.
PHP has made its revolution the same way JS did a few years back
The oop side is already the game changer for me
People still think Java is just as slow as it was in version 1.6, good luck trying to change their viewpoints about PHP
@250CC Good thing it's also better then; objectively.
Ooo, Jeff making video on php, this is new!
As a php developer, I really appreciate this. Lol
It is great you did that video. Using the Symfony framework you can build gigantic awesome websites !
Now please do Symfony in 100 seconds !!!
Thanks for your awesome work.
I read a 500-page book about laravel framework without any intention to use it. It's just such a clever and beautiful architecture. Really recommend it, just for inspiration
@@chelly2615 Mom, this bot is talking to me in Japanese...
@@banditosdoritos 64 comments on this video
My first experience of PHP was version 4 (latest at the time).
It blew my young computer geek's mind away. I made my first website with a dynamic DATE on it.
It's my second most significant experience with computers, second to discovering how I could code in basic to play music on the computer's speaker. Usually from dos, with gwbasics and qbasics later (I was a young kid then).
I've had to maintain or extend some projects with php but I'm not fluent in modern php. I like how JS/TS has become a one army tool.
Composer and the PSR's has really raised the language to a new level. In PHP5 it was somewhat clunky to use, in PHP7 and PHP8 it is really smooth to use OOP and TDD.
PHP is a great language, it has transformed so much. Really no reason for people to hate on it
I love PHP, I don't write in it anymore, but it's one of my first languages I learned because of how easy it is to approach and easy to integrate into HTML creating dynamic websites with ease.
I miss those days of editing functions.php over FTP connection 😁
My man! :D
I still do that at my work lmao
Still doing it with those Wordpress and Osclass sites as my job 💀
Now everything is git push for minor updates
This made me laugh out loud, those were the days! :D
I'm usually skeptical of development tech videos (I'm a veteran) but this one was pretty cool. Thanks.
Ahh, the old days with just HTML, CSS, vanilla Js, and PHP.
Old days ?
Feel yeah. Its been 10 years since I was rocking vanilla js, vanilla css, vanilla js and php. Kinda miss it. But then I realize how much faster I can build with modern tools.
@@deidyomega Depends on what's your need, currently working on a project with vanilla JS and vanilla CSS ( PHP framework tho for the API )
Why ? Because it doesn't need to, I'll probably wire some React component to it later but that's it. My main frontend isn't React but just plain JS.
My main grip is people are faster to milk on the latest technologies without thiking why and how it could be beneficial, so I guess YMMV, but there are still some interesting projects to make without any of these technologies imo.
TL:DR , yeah you can still work on frontend without wiring a framework to it or make it SPA, think about custom small businesses websites
@@Nerwesta I mean, you never *need* a spa, or any tools, and frankly, you dont even *need* javascript at all. You can do a whole lot with html+css. A fully animated site with form validation, drop down menus, mobile responsive, the works.
But while you are fiddling with esotric css to make it happen, I'll have completed 3 more projects that are "bloated". The client will be happy, the users wont care, and I get paid on more projects in less time.
@@deidyomega For sure, but I'm still talking about a project that feels modern, and can tick a lot of boxes UX-wise.
Like you said, without Javascript it's hard to have a convenient UX.
Then again, I'll be quicker to drop a small snippet of vanilla JS to manage let's say popovers or modals than doing a whole React component.
By dropping a snippet, I would probably make it a class based module for it and let's go.
Instead, it really shines when you wire React on complicated dashboard to take care ( back office of a CMS for instance ).
That's why I'm not very into Angular. lol
Yours videos are dope man!! Thanks for sharing this kind of content
PHP is special to me. Wanted to make a website and eventually crossed paths with PHP as kid. 15 years later and PHP is the reason why I have my job. I was happy when the language finally advanced significantly with the official release of PHP 7 back then, massively improving what you can do and performance of big applications.
kinda jealous of you veteran programmers. modern PHP's capability for building super ultra complicated architecture makes it way harder to land an "entry level" job nowadays. but I'm still glad that I didn't choose Java which seems to be more decent, its popularity became a disaster in the coming internet ice age in my country, because the market of Java is already saturated
Even though I am using react and js now. Php helped me get my food for 12 years now :) happy to see this 100 seconds and made me think about old days !!
I'm a multilangual dev with about 10 years experience, coding in many languages on a daily basis (PHP, Python, C#, C++, Lua, *SQL, Java, JavaScript). And I absolutely love PHP. I have written my own framework in PHP, and I love its flexibility and freedom compared to other languages. Often the critic to why people say PHP is bad, is why I like it.
I think with the continuous expanding of the type system, PHP is becoming a good contender in the backend space.
@@BboyKeny Still no reason to use it since you can pick literally anything else.
@@philipmrch8326 Many wordpress, magento and laravel websites out there. Sadly I don't really have the luxury to go Rust or Go for most of my clients. The fact that it has become somewhat bearable is very much appreciated.

1) do not forget that php is a more working language, while the more rated python is used for education at school and institute, because of this it has a higher citation.
2) composer and laravel raised php to another level
Ehem. Composer and Symfony. Laravel is basically made out of symfony packages... :)
More rated python? More rated by whom?
Bro, I would beg to differ that Wordpress might be one of the main reasons PHP has been still accepted on a hierarchy level. WAY beyond Laravel (which like WP, is just a framework built on PHP) Composer is a "helper" compared a framework
@@shanejohnson4546 Wordpress definitely saved PHP when it was becoming more and more obselete but people used it because they didn't have a choice.
However PHP 7 and frameworks made PHP a genuinely enjoyable language that any web developer should at least consider.
@@kaf83 Scientist and engineers. Python is used *a lot* for people for who programming is a tool to get work done when the code itself is not a product.
I love PHP8 with it's constructor property promotion. It's soooooo nice
This is one amazing language. PHP helped me to learn classes and objects and arrays. Because I was struggling with JavaScript and classes, I found PHP classes much easier to learn. At the moment I use both Javascript and PHP.

Laravel is the most powerful web framework I have seen in my 8 years of web dev
Based on what exactly if I may ask?
lol, no... React and NextJS combined will beat anything.
of all who ask why, have you tried laravel? I have compared with many frameworks, Laravel is the best, so why? first, laravel moves very fast.. almost every week minor releases means they are not outdated and very modern and updated about current trends, many innovations appear.. sometimes I even think, the framework is faster than the development of the language itself.. unique it's true but that's how it is
