Welcome to Some drops of PHP

Some drops of PHP

The reason why

This book collects some useful, unknown, underrated PHP functions or stuff discovered, used, and learned during PHP daily use.

Using PHP frameworks/libraries daily, sometimes the perception of the power of the language and the basic functionalities provided by the PHP core could be lost. I see that usually, I used to look at the framework documentation or look for a package in Packagist for the system, array, and string functions instead of using core functionalities provided by the language.

While I wrote this ebook in HTML format, I also wrote some scripts to better understand the behavior of the functions. You can find these examples here: https://github.com/roberto-butti/some-drops-of-php in the examples directory.

We are excited to invite you to Contribute to this book. More info here

Requirements

The code used in this book is tested with PHP 8.3 (and PHP 8.2).

The supported PHP versions are listed here: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php.

Continuous release

I was thinking of printing this book, but I think that is not so eco-friendly and a book about development could be improved daily in terms of spellchecking and the content and examples. So, I expect to adopt the same approach in the software with the CI/CD, with a continuous release of the book.

Releases:

The book is a Work in Progress. If you notice any errors or believe that a new function should be covered, feel free to open an issue here.
