This is the companion code repository for Modern PHP by Josh Lockhart (O’Reilly).
The PHP language is different than you remember. No longer just about procedural code and monolithic frameworks, PHP has experienced a renaissance to become a full-featured, mature language with object-orientation, namespaces, and a growing collection of reusable component libraries.
Modern PHP reveals these new language features in action. Author Josh Lockhart—creator of PHP The Right Way, a popular community initiative—shows you how to develop PHP applications using best practices for application architecture and planning, databases, security, testing, debugging, and deployment.
Each chapter has its own repository directory, and directory contents are organized according to the chapter's content. I've tried to name each code file according to its related Figure ID in the book.
Josh Lockhart created the Slim Framework, a popular PHP micro framework that enables rapid web application and API development. Josh also started and currently curates PHP The Right Way, a popular initiative in the PHP community that encourages good practices and disseminates quality information for PHP developers around the world.
Josh is a developer at New Media Campaigns—a full service web design, development, and marketing agency in Carrboro, North Carolina—where he enjoys building custom applications with HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, Bash, and various content management frameworks.
Josh graduated from the Information and Library Science program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2008. He currently resides in Chapel Hill, North Carolina with his wonderful wife, Laurel, and their two dogs.
You can follow Josh on Twitter, read his blog, and track his open source projects on GitHub.
