To learn PHP you'll need a LAMP server of some sort, a text editor, and a good study guide. I highly recommend buying a book because it's an excellent UI while learning a language.
You are the best trainer ever 👍👍👍 You helped us creating a car rental app (we are like a broker for car rental companies in Saudi Arabia) we watched almost all of your videos..thanks we appreciate you 🌹
I use PHP built-in webserver for local development. It's also what Laravel uses when you do 'php artisan serve'. I agree, books are an excellent resource. It's also a good idea to familiarize yourself with the official documentation of any languages/tools/apis you use. Get in the habit of looking stuff up there first before turning to a book or stack overflow.
Install docker. With that you make a tiny configuration file that sets up a container for you with all the stuff and does it right for whatever server you deploy to. With docker you never end up with a server where you left a lot of experimental misconfigurations, you don't need to write documentation about how to set up your server because it's all in the docker file.
Another asset: php.net. All the built-in functions and docs on the language online, along with commentary. All indexed and searchable. Invaluable resource. I've been coding in PHP for over 20 years, and I still use this resource. Also, PHP has its own native server. Like this: php -S localhost:8000. This will work for your own server, but others on the LAN won't be able to reach the server.
Hi Eli! Why you removed the video named "Bitcoin value plummets"?! Please add it back, or send me a link to other platform if youtube removed it ... ;)

I like Eli’s way of explaining. Calm and confident voice.
Gotta respect the man who does something he doesn't want to do, to live the life he wants to live.
Nice to see you back on rails;) IT is what's in your blood, i guess. Wish you success!
yeah!.. I learned php from the first php book you recommended many years ago!. I find books extremely useful!.
Just found your channel-videos!! Amazing php content, love your teaching style!!

I use EVERYTHING to learn. I jump between video courses, books and online tutorials.
I have 2 Visual Books right next to my Desk. Will soon add another one. Much appreciate your recommendation.

Great tutorial... bit by bit break down. explaining everything down to the least. still learning
I would say build your own server. If you are gonna be into php then you are gonna want to be familiar with the whole xampp stack.
I'm using xampp. What should I do to "be careful"? Now you got me worried lol
Eli, books rule. Also really enjoy your videos. Denton TX
Im in mckinney. Lets gwt together and code. Im writing php
Solid advice. Thank you!
I just bought the book, thanks for the advice.
Seeing code in a book is harder to read than text editors but it's good to get used to
YOU are GREAT!!! :D

Doctrine is worth leaning? are people still using it?
oh my! ppl the Internet can't replace a well written book; they work with each other
How about no
How bout explain why you said how about no?
Anyone else get a kick out of Eli's lisp?
Yeah whats up with that? Did he always speak like that?
The programming language he is speaking about is php not lisp. If you want to learn lisp watch eric grimeson
