Absolutely, a lot of PHP Standards Recommendations (PSRs) have been released, old deprecated features have been removed, and PHP 7 (the current version) can be up to 10 times as fast as PHP 5 (which was current in 2017), depending on what you are benchmarking of course.
Looking forward to the tutorials. When I first started learning web-development (about 2yrs ago) the common story was PHP is dying, its an old technology...etc; unfortunately I chose to ignore PHP. However, recently when I started searching for jobs where I live (Chicago), I was amazed by the number of jobs that required PHP knowledge; especially the entry-level/junior positions. Anyway, I underestimated how widely used it is because I didn't know any better, Knowing this now, I have started to learn PHP. I Just recently found your channel and really enjoy your calm and to the point teaching style, Its easy to absorb and understand the material. Looking forward to these tutorials when there're released. Thanks.
I'm starting to love it! Currently I'm learning Laravel and I really, really, like it! Thanks, for all your videos. There're hands-down some of the best Web Development videos on RUclips. Thanks, again.
PHP is slowly been replaced by Javascript. Now modern PHP stack is mostly Javascript. You use Vue.js, Nuxt and npm. Then use Laravel or symphony as an API.
Here I was, asking myself if I should learn PHP, and what were the alternatives, so I search for "php" on Traversy Media's channel, and I get a video titled, "Should You Learn PHP?". Damn, I love this guy.
Thanks Brad. Grateful for all your insight on this as a new programmer. I've recently purchased a Traversy course because you went so far to building a great free Bootstrap to Wordpress. Respect.
Patrick Khwela I can't get go through a page of jobs search without seeing .net in the Philadelphia area.lol I really really thought about learning it.
Really cool video. Java was my first language, used it for Android & naturally picked C#. it wasn't easy to learn but it has made it easy for me to learn other languages much quicker. I've drop Java for python & other web development languages.
LetTheWritersWrite True that, it can get crazy real quick if you aren't careful especially if you are building a web app with. There are better languages that can do what Java does except for 100% native Android development & even that can be done with some web app frameworks.
C# is a good language to learn right now and Microsoft is really innovating the uses of the language. From Games to apps. I tried Xamarin for a bit but coming from a Java & Android background it didn't feel intuitive enough to me. There were so many moving parts to consider that i couldn't just focus on the coding and app development right away. I feel that React-Native and Native-Script will be easier and speed up development time and the learning curve is far less and there are a lot more API support for these JavaScript frameworks than Xamarin.
hello from the future: 2021 now i worked 10 years with php, didn't touch it for 3 years now (2 small fixes of lagacy code) , handed over all my projects, and i don't miss it. i strongly recommend go for node, python, java, c# - depending on your usecase

"only for small projects". This week I interviewed for: a bank, a global media company, a major insurance company, a major fulfilment company, a huge streaming platform...all of them run their main systems in PHP (Laravel or Symfony). Is just absurd to think is only for small-medium projects. Is it perfect, not at all.
Very nice video.My first programming language is JavaScript and i tied to find a job but nowadays seems not to be enough to know only js, especially if you are using it only on the front end .I decided to learn as quickly as I can to have at least an idea of how PHP works because there are lots of jobs that require PHP and aloso mySQL . I think that the chances for getting a junior developer job will increase after I archive at last the basic knowledge.
*Good for getting [first] job. Enough said. I wasted 100+ hours learning how to build a node.js API. As much as I regret not learning PHP first, it's not all for nothing. Laravel seems to have a lot of similarities to express + mongoose.
hi friends if you are new to server side language php is a great best choice. i started my career as a php developer once you knows server side languages and how it deals all other languages are simple to learn(based on my perception)
Does there is no difference what kind of project You are willing to build? IMHO there is. PHP is better if you need to use a lot of CPU calculations and NODE is good if you are writing some kind of real-time updated stuff.. like chats, articles and so on. Also size of projects depends... is NODE the best option for heavy ERP systems with invoice generating, transportation GEO data calculations and so on? I am not guru in this, but i feel there is no simple trend like choice. I think this could be good topic to explain, what stacks is good for what kind of projects. Like, what stack for some CMS, what for Forums/chats what for Simple Websites, internet stores, Mobile Apps, CRM, ERP, WMS etc systems.
I really like PHP, especially with frameworks like Laravel. I also have a tiny experience with Python. So happy to be a trained software developer specializing in web dev.
Here's a fun fact for 2020 , Wordpress alone has 35% market share, of all websites, (455 million plus websites), so that's more than 1 third of all websites are powered by Wordpress, now let's spin that around to PHP, that means more than 1 third of the web is powered by PHP, and that's just the Wordpress Sites.. there is also sites powered by magento, opencart, other cms such as Drupal etc.. so is PHP worth learning in 2020? Hell Yeah!
PHP is also good for large and very large web applications. If you need maximum performance, think about building applications in framework like Phalcon. Facebook or Wikipedia still based on PHP... A keyword here is a PREPROCESSOR.
@@PowerYAuthority a troll would say PHP is trash. I'm saying there alternatives. If you want to use PHP use it. If PHP suits your project use it. But that doesn't mean PHP is good. I use it occasionally, because I need it but I don't like it.
Thank you very much for the tips. I am currently learning Javascript right now. As soon as I have a bette understanding of Javascript I am considering learning PHP. Node.js sounds really intresting too.
I love PHP but I think that mostly has to do with it being the first back-end language I started with, but of course, I don't think it is the superior of any other language.
it is like electric cars. Think about infrastructure and what it would take for a medium company to transition. Not to mention the big company. Companies today struggle to adapt php7 and now we are talking about php8. However in IT it is never ending learning cycle and only bad scenario I could think of is if you stop learning altogether. So if you start with PHP it doesn't mean you will end with PHP right ?Just Do It :)
I'm currently learning php and someone commented on my post on facebook, here is what he said. "Php is a legacy language, there's no point in learning it unless you are forced to by a job or you're one of those weirdos who likes to use MIT scheme" I told him that php is still in demand on my country, so it is easier to enter the industry, he laugh at me
Thanks so much for the video, especially on minute ~9 where you mention that PHP is best used for small to medium sized applications and for bigger applications to use a mean stack. This makes me curious, would a mean stack be a lot of work for a small application (because it's harder to use) and that's why you'd use PHP because it's easier/faster to get something going?
Depends on what kind of developer you are and what you're developing. I like ruby for its flexibility. c++ for system administration. All Web devs should know javascript.
Hey there! Thank you so much for your efforts in making & sharing this video.. you always rocks! Great to be subscribed to your channel and hopefully will become a patreon soon.. thanks!!
I've started a project using CSS and HTML, would you recommend that my next step is PHP? I have a good friend who runs a popular site using mostly php, but he's so experienced that I'm not sure if his advice is the right one for a beginner. It does seem to make sense though. Great channel Brad, I'm a masters in economics trying to learn programming/coding in my spare time :)
Hi Traversy, love your videos. I noticed you didn't mention SQL in your server-side conversation. Isn't SQL a natural next step regarding WAMP, LAMP, XxAMP, MAMP, etc?
Yes it is. "no sql" databases have their niche uses. A Relational SQL database is the right choice most of the time. For total beginners who aren't working on real business projects it doesn't matter if they choose sql or no-sql.
Good Video, and simple. Let me race anyone in love with MEAN in developing a CMS driven store or even a more complex company site with 2-3 languages, fully dynamic no "hard coded" BS :)
Like your courses! Could you implement a lot of practical stuff in this PHP course!? Most PHP courses seemed to stick to variations on basic stuff (or too complex topics), but would be great if seeing some real / useable code.
The more languages we know , the better! So, I am gonna learn it anyway because I believe is also important and plus the pros are more than cons. So, why not 😁
PHP all day long. So much easier/quicker to get stuff done than with JavaScript. It's just weird seeing all this crazy stuff that gets done with React.js. Laravel (PHP) + Vue.js seems like the best of both worlds. But for big data, Python hands down...
Here in italy if you want to work php or java are what you should learn..even if you are trying to be a front end if tou know react or angular ypu should at least know one of these two forget about python or node .
This video was very helpful and I think I’ll certainly learn it. I do have one question being a novice at this stuff. First off I’ll say I’ve learned HTML, CSS, and am now studying JavaScript. I have created a very simple form on a website I have created. Do I need to create a php file or do any php configurations for my website to get a simple email comments form to work. It has name, email address and a comment section. The email will be sent to a specific person.
Hi Traversy, I was learning and creating projects for 6 almost 7 months and I just decided to learn Php to start off with freelancing and eventually find a job. I downloaded MAMP and I wanted to know by using MAMP are you able to use Vanilla JavaScript, HTML and CSS alongside MySQL and Php all together when using VSCODE? I noticed that when I tried to link the CSS file onto my HTML and also link Php onto my HTML the only thing which was displayed was the php file and my JavaScript, HTML and CSS couldn't be displayed. How can I get all these files to work together and display the client side alongside the server side all together, I am completely lost in this? Thanks for hearing me out.
thanks for the video, at this moment im trying to move from php to mean stack, and agree php sometimes is a mess, and scalability sometimes is a problem, tyring to build all my future projects using the MEAN stack now
I've worked with PHP. My quandary about using it for an engineering website is its ability to draw graphs. Can I combine PHP with a Java Script graphing tool? Thanks.
I think people totally miss the point about PHP and discuss the language itself and not the function API that actually gives PHP its ability to be a backend language. Its like talking about Ruby as a backend web language and never mentioning Rails, absolutely stupid. What I cant figure out is why no one has made a clone of the PHP function API in another language. Thats what makes PHP such a good option as a backend language is its API never breaks down no matter how complicated the code gets compared to actual frameworks that do work behind the scenes and can be very difficult to debug once things dont work right. Of course you dont mention any of that in your bullet points, you just mention things like high availablity and lots of resources which is really just a bunch of bull and doesnt make that much big of a difference. Its like Rails doesnt need a lot of 'support' to run, its a self functioning framework with everything you need built in.
I wasn't really interested in PHP, but it seems virtually every entry level job posting I see has requirements for PHP rather than, say, Python or Ruby.
Yes but then you have to configure and manage your own server. As a total beginner it doubles or triples the amount of new things you have to learn. I've been doing web dev a looong time and I spent the last *8* hours just trying to properly configure a Linux box to allow mysql server connections from outside the box. I only volunteered to help them with that because 2 day before I had the same problem myself and it only took me 1 hour to fix it. But while I spent 8 hours trying to fix their problem they spent 8 hours connected to the database on my cheap shared hosting account to finish their work. They also had to ssh into my cheap shared hosting account to test something involving git because the git on their macbook wasn't doing what they expected to do and they couldn't get it to install on their linux box. There is a good reason "devops" is its own job category. A shared hosting account may not be the cheapest but it is cheap enough and the simplest for beginners.
I have a question if you can answer this. I know you won’t say what is the best coding language but really I’m just learning PHP because I am building websites with contact forms. But would you say PHP is good enough or is there perhaps a better language to learn for simple to maybe a bit complex web forms. When I say simple I mean like name email address and comment box. What I mean by a bit complex is just like filling out all contact info like you’re placing an order for something.
using php its much easier to get a foot into the programming. node.js is my "second language", im just starting with your videos but its so hard to adapt because you cant simply upload it to your server.. like the server is not working, the apache2 on your root server wont let you go to your ports and stuff... i didnt manage to upload my locally working node proj to my server
Thanks for this video. I'm confused because in many programming language rankings java, python and C++ are ranked higher than php in many lists but how is that possible if worpdress uses php and so many websites use wordpress which supposedly powers a quarter of the web? It seems there is a whole world of small business website jobs that require php but they don't figure in rankings, (that's my hunch).
You are right. I think its the "best" vs "practicality". A PHP Wordpress site is MUCH easier to roll out than anything that uses Java or a higher "ranked" language. Many companies choose practical over what is the best. PHP devs are also MUCH easier to find and they are cheaper.My thoughts anyway.
I don't get your Scalability statement. I have made php projects with millions of page (db records) and did not have any problems. However, I have not had any projects with millions of registered users.
This, I think is when I get scared as someone who is trying to break into the WebDev world. I find it confusing what language to pick. I here Rails is easy and fun. Then a month later it's Django. then, a week later it's Node is king. A day later, it's goLang is faster then Node. Let's not forget about PHP and building custom widgets for wordpress. AHHHHHHH!
A veteran coder gave me the advice of picking just one language and becoming a master. He said that once I do that, it will be easier to pick up other languages. He said that if he had to hire one person and was choosing between someone who knew three languages at an intermediate level or a person who knew one language at an expert level, he would choose the expert, even though the project may be done in another language that the expert had not yet studied.
I have always said you pick a system(low level) language like C++, Java or Rust(If you like hot newcomers), and one high level, maybe two because they are normally easier then low level, good ones are JavaScript and Python.
The reason I went with Python based Frameworks is due to not only the popularity of Python, but it's ease of use. I believe at this date Python is the most taught language in Universities. To me this is a great reason to choose it over Rails or any framework that uses Ruby. . . Ruby is pretty much a dead language if not for Rails. Python on the other hand is used for all kinds of things, not just web dev. Javascript based stuff is extremely popular now, and they've come up with some great new(er) things like Node and all the frontend frameworks. PHP is very popular of course, although it's popularity is declining. Yet, so much out there is done in PHP, it's I'm assuming easy to get work, at least freelance work. As far as PHP the language, its a poorly written language from what I understand and read. To me, that was the main and only drawback. . .
@Safa Swaid php is good for large application and scales well. Wiki is created with php and it is not even the latest php version that wiki is using right now.
Puleez,If you were a language ,would PHP use you? Lol....beginners are very excited to start but quickly track off and look for lazy ways of doing it...no disadvantage at all to me if u r serious well except the big data apps...which most can't handle far better than php(java is not among) We have improved php and I think its getting better. No disadvantage my friends..even the goods out weight the 'demerits' A very good book is python and mysql novice to ninja 6th ed....u should type everything Yank writes...when u r done...copy code for code 5 projects on RUclips ...use them as portfolio That knowledge is good enough to land u a job.

So how do you learn so many languages like that. Any advise? 🤔
Could you do a tutorial where you make a website with a form and use php to send the data to a database like mysql?
you should learn php then use laravel
nixon ninux you dont upload image and files in a database. You upload in a cloud storage and keep the file path in the database
Pretty basic stuff tbh, it's a matter of PDO and SQL.
Google those and you should get a good idea of what to do.

Here in italy if you want to work php or java are what you should learn..even if you are trying to be a front end if tou know react or angular ypu should at least know one of these two forget about python or node
.
Really now C#?
Here is C# + Java + PHP
@@r3n736 there is c# but php and java are top two..
This video was very helpful and I think I’ll certainly learn it. I do have one question being a novice at this stuff. First off I’ll say I’ve learned HTML, CSS, and am now studying JavaScript. I have created a very simple form on a website I have created. Do I need to create a php file or do any php configurations for my website to get a simple email comments form to work. It has name, email address and a comment section. The email will be sent to a specific person.
any dynamic data require server side language , php is the easiest if you just starting to develop dynamic web .
I like php when I create web app using own MVC website. I think learning php framework is hard than creating a web app using core php.
Hi Traversy, I was learning and creating projects for 6 almost 7 months and I just decided to learn Php to start off with freelancing and eventually find a job. I downloaded MAMP and I wanted to know by using MAMP are you able to use Vanilla JavaScript, HTML and CSS alongside MySQL and Php all together when using VSCODE? I noticed that when I tried to link the CSS file onto my HTML and also link Php onto my HTML the only thing which was displayed was the php file and my JavaScript, HTML and CSS couldn't be displayed. How can I get all these files to work together and display the client side alongside the server side all together, I am completely lost in this? Thanks for hearing me out.
open a .php file

Thank you for making this!
Thank you! Your videos are very helpful!
thanks for the video, at this moment im trying to move from php to mean stack, and agree php sometimes is a mess, and scalability sometimes is a problem, tyring to build all my future projects using the MEAN stack now
this was a very helpful video, thank you for sharing your knowledge for free.
I've worked with PHP. My quandary about using it for an engineering website is its ability to draw graphs. Can I combine PHP with a Java Script graphing tool? Thanks.
I think people totally miss the point about PHP and discuss the language itself and not the function API that actually gives PHP its ability to be a backend language. Its like talking about Ruby as a backend web language and never mentioning Rails, absolutely stupid. What I cant figure out is why no one has made a clone of the PHP function API in another language. Thats what makes PHP such a good option as a backend language is its API never breaks down no matter how complicated the code gets compared to actual frameworks that do work behind the scenes and can be very difficult to debug once things dont work right. Of course you dont mention any of that in your bullet points, you just mention things like high availablity and lots of resources which is really just a bunch of bull and doesnt make that much big of a difference. Its like Rails doesnt need a lot of 'support' to run, its a self functioning framework with everything you need built in.
Hello.
Can you tell, is it a good idea to learn 2 backend languages? Does it have any sense at all? For example python(django) + php(laravel)?
I wasn't really interested in PHP, but it seems virtually every entry level job posting I see has requirements for PHP rather than, say, Python or Ruby.
Isn't php the cheapest option for hosting a personal website? That's a very big advantage, IF TRUE. Cheap practice with a hosting service/server.
EndlessEtudes not really you could setup a virtual private server for around $3 a month and host virtually anything there
Yes but then you have to configure and manage your own server. As a total beginner it doubles or triples the amount of new things you have to learn. I've been doing web dev a looong time and I spent the last *8* hours just trying to properly configure a Linux box to allow mysql server connections from outside the box. I only volunteered to help them with that because 2 day before I had the same problem myself and it only took me 1 hour to fix it. But while I spent 8 hours trying to fix their problem they spent 8 hours connected to the database on my cheap shared hosting account to finish their work. They also had to ssh into my cheap shared hosting account to test something involving git because the git on their macbook wasn't doing what they expected to do and they couldn't get it to install on their linux box. There is a good reason "devops" is its own job category.
A shared hosting account may not be the cheapest but it is cheap enough and the simplest for beginners.
haha VPS... with 512MB RAM and 1 core? :) please...
I have a question if you can answer this. I know you won’t say what is the best coding language but really I’m just learning PHP because I am building websites with contact forms. But would you say PHP is good enough or is there perhaps a better language to learn for simple to maybe a bit complex web forms. When I say simple I mean like name email address and comment box. What I mean by a bit complex is just like filling out all contact info like you’re placing an order for something.
Php is enough for that task, but try to use a framework or a library that make easy dealing with forms
using php its much easier to get a foot into the programming. node.js is my "second language", im just starting with your videos but its so hard to adapt because you cant simply upload it to your server.. like the server is not working, the apache2 on your root server wont let you go to your ports and stuff... i didnt manage to upload my locally working node proj to my server
Thanks for this video. I'm confused because in many programming language rankings java, python and C++ are ranked higher than php in many lists but how is that possible if worpdress uses php and so many websites use wordpress which supposedly powers a quarter of the web? It seems there is a whole world of small business website jobs that require php but they don't figure in rankings, (that's my hunch).
You are right. I think its the "best" vs "practicality". A PHP Wordpress site is MUCH easier to roll out than anything that uses Java or a higher "ranked" language. Many companies choose practical over what is the best. PHP devs are also MUCH easier to find and they are cheaper.My thoughts anyway.
Php is my favorite
I don't get your Scalability statement. I have made php projects with millions of page (db records) and did not have any problems. However, I have not had any projects with millions of registered users.
PHP is a great language if you wan't to learn more about web application security.
Thank you. I'll learn it just so I'm familiar
totally agree with you
Let's make PHP great again! - Donald Trump
LOL
lol XD
lol
As a Liberal I've got to argue that PHP is great enough! Let's help other languages get there.
LOL
I reapect you bruh...If you found it easy to learn php...You are Dope...Literally
Thank you
Thank you Sr.
This, I think is when I get scared as someone who is trying to break into the WebDev world. I find it confusing what language to pick. I here Rails is easy and fun. Then a month later it's Django. then, a week later it's Node is king. A day later, it's goLang is faster then Node. Let's not forget about PHP and building custom widgets for wordpress. AHHHHHHH!
A veteran coder gave me the advice of picking just one language and becoming a master. He said that once I do that, it will be easier to pick up other languages. He said that if he had to hire one person and was choosing between someone who knew three languages at an intermediate level or a person who knew one language at an expert level, he would choose the expert, even though the project may be done in another language that the expert had not yet studied.
I have always said you pick a system(low level) language like C++, Java or Rust(If you like hot newcomers), and one high level, maybe two because they are normally easier then low level, good ones are JavaScript and Python.
mikesjunk00 Stefan Mischook. Lol 😁
The reason I went with Python based Frameworks is due to not only the popularity of Python, but it's ease of use. I believe at this date Python is the most taught language in Universities. To me this is a great reason to choose it over Rails or any framework that uses Ruby. . .
Ruby is pretty much a dead language if not for Rails. Python on the other hand is used for all kinds of things, not just web dev. Javascript based stuff is extremely popular now, and they've come up with some great new(er) things like Node and all the frontend frameworks.
PHP is very popular of course, although it's popularity is declining. Yet, so much out there is done in PHP, it's I'm assuming easy to get work, at least freelance work. As far as PHP the language, its a poorly written language from what I understand and read. To me, that was the main and only drawback. . .
Is WordPress a small or medium sized project? They use php. Why would php be recommended only for small or medium sized applications?
@Safa Swaid php is good for large application and scales well. Wiki is created with php and it is not even the latest php version that wiki is using right now.
Puleez,If you were a language ,would PHP use you?
Lol....beginners are very excited to start but quickly track off and look for lazy ways of doing it...no disadvantage at all to me if u r serious well except the big data apps...which most can't handle far better than php(java is not among)
We have improved php and I think its getting better.
No disadvantage my friends..even the goods out weight the 'demerits'
A very good book is python and mysql novice to ninja 6th ed....u should type everything Yank writes...when u r done...copy code for code 5 projects on RUclips ...use them as portfolio
That knowledge is good enough to land u a job.
Thx for the analysis. But how does Facebook do with the scalability issue since they're still using PHP?
Luc Dialla they don't use php how we use it. They basically remade the entire language to fit their needs and called it hack
@Luc Dialla php scales well
Just look at wiki. Also scalability uas more to do with your servers and your configuration of servers.
when will your class become available? - Old Tony
node.js
I would love to try out "Pearl"...
But I think PHP is Better than ASP.net??
