I’ve been developing software in PHP for a long time. But I recently decided to return to my polyglot roots, developing in multiple languages on a regular basis. The question is, which language, or languages, are the right ones to learn and use.
I’ve been looking to break away from PHP and web-based development for some time now. But doing so has been a case of easier said than done. Recently, though, I’ve managed to make a breakthrough.
For as long as I can remember, ZendCon’s always been a conference which I’ve wanted to attend. Why? Perhaps it’s because it’s marketed as the top conference in the PHP world. Regardless, here’s my reflections on ZendCon 2016.
If there’s one thing that we as developers to do on a regular basis it’s navigate through code. In this tutorial, I’m going to show you a range of ways in which PhpStorm does so, minimising the effort required by us.
If you are managing one or more Zend Framework 2 applications, did you know that you can already begin porting them to Zend Expressive? In this tutorial, you will learn how you can start today, using the Zend/PSR-7 bridge.
Want a simpler way to configure a Zend Expressive application? Want to simplify how it’s done, yet still be sufficiently expressive enough, that it’s easy to read and maintain? Then it’s time you got to know Interop-Config by Sandro Keil.
Ever experienced HTTP 500’s, but found that your error logs are empty. Ever had no clue why or how this could be happening? Perhaps you forgot to enable the Whoops error handler.
Laravel’s Eloquent ORM isn’t likely the first one you think of when using Zend Expressive. You likely think of Zend\Db or Doctrine. But, with a little bit of work, it’s possible to use Eloquent with Expressive. Today’s tutorial shows you how - step-by-step.
In any application there are a lot of moving parts, which can lead to a lot of complexity — especially when it comes to configuration. Given Mezzio’s flexible nature, this can easily be the case — if we’re not careful — requiring a lot of supporting configuration. ConfigProvider classes, however, make managing application configuration very maintainable, even intuitive. This tutorial shows how to implement them.
A common requirement of web-based applications is to upload and download files. But, out of the box, there’s no simple way to download them in Zend Expressive. This tutorial shows you how - step-by-step.
