I started learning PHP from a book in the early 2000's and I have always been intimidated by classes in PHP. I'm 45 minutes into this video and I already understand so much more than I ever have about the OOP side of PHP. I feel like this knowledge will allow me to integrate third-party APIs. I'm definitely buying the full course after I make it through this video!
This course is a true gem! It's the first time I watched a 3h course and felt I really understood the concepts. Thank you so much Gary! Looking forward for the full course :)
Thanks Giulia..I'm just working on the last few videos for it and it should be released soon. I send regular updatesand previews to my mailing list subscibers.
Finally a course with proper teaching strategies. I cant believe the amount of online teachers who fail to understand that teacing isnt telling. Videos like yours Gary are how people escape from tutorial hell. Will be recommending your content!
I never thought PHP OOP will be this easier to understand, after watching a dozen of courses on PHP OOP without any success. But you Gary have made it simpler, digestible and literally understandable. If this is just a preview of what I will learn in the full course, then you have a new course and RUclips subscriber. Thank you for this course
hey,I'm not an english native speaker and i almost gave up on this video because your accent is too "british",(dont get offended) but eventually tried to follow along keenly and my! you actually teach so well,i grasped every tiny piece of information,thank you Gary!
Excellent work, i was looking for a php oop course for a while now and it's very fortunate i found your amazing course, thank you! i'am looking forward to learn more from you
Good and practical example for how to implement inheritance from 01:12:00 to 01:51:00. But the concept of "composition over inheritance" could have been demonstrated here too. I.e. PhysicalBook and DigitalBook could both implement some interfaces and take a "Book" instance in their constructor. It's a bit more complex than just slapping inheritance onto it because you have to construct two objects now. But this in turn would be a good opportunity to talk about factories. These topics would probably exceed the scope of this course, but they are so important in modern programming (due to the painful lessons learned from using inheritance in the last decades) that it should at least be mentioned.
Yes good points. I don't think I'd yet taught dependency injection by this point of the course but there's quite a lot of composition later in the full course.
Ah kind words..I really appreciate it. This is the first 3 hours of the full course which will be available on www.garyclarke.tech in September. I'm still working on it.
Came from your older Object course. Both are amazing quality, but this is even more complete! Good to see you are staying away from your brothers spotify playlist this time. I guess he found the Beatles song🤣
WOW! This channel is really great for the beginners who wants to understand OOP. Your examples in video are really from simple which is helpful for beginner and who want to learn in hurry (crash course?).Perfect video exactly i was looking for with challenges and extremely simple codes.. other youtubers also have good videos on php but many times examples are confusing.. your on the other hand is very simple, straightforward and enjoyable for especially who want to learn this in very short time. Subscribed this precious channel!
Thank you Gary, this course was extremely useful and easy to understand. There are some things which doesn't work in PHP 7.4 (like union types), but this course is amazing. As you said, the most important thing is practicing. Thank you!
Cheers Attila, I appreciate it. Yes, for PHP 7.4 you'll have to work around some things the 'old' way but I try to stick with using the latest versions for my videos
@@GaryClarkeTech I cannot wait for the full course! I like the PHP 8.1 because of more strict types, just it takes time to refactor/rewrite some things in PHP 7.4 to 8.1.

@@GaryClarkeTech Thanks for the response. Really enjoying the detail you are going into , I now understand private, public protected :-). Looking forward to the full course, any idea on price yet?
Great video! I would love to know where can i find videos about software architecture in a more structured way. I've watched great videos about OOP, SOLID, Design Patterns, etc... but still not knowing how to separate the layers of the app if i had to build everythin from zero. Would be even better if the examples was in php, but could be any language tho. If doesn't exists good videos about this from the basics, what book should i read?
Such a question about "const" - in JavaScript/TypesScript there is such a good practice to use "const" by default, not "let" for variable declarations. As I understand it, in PHP it is the other way around? :)
That was actually just a bunch of custom settings I created in PHPStorm. Some people complained about it being too dark so I use Material Darker these days.
Hi, Gary. Greetings. And thanks for the Tutorial. Continues to be so helpful even referential. Please, may I ask? As you know, sir, a lot of Hosting plans do not allow Subscriber Server Settings access. In these cases, access to Env Variables becomes out of the question. But the need to keep configuration settings outside the web root remains critical. Can I define my configuration settings as constants in Class file, then place the Class outside the root and still have Composer Autoload.php access it and load it as needed ? If yes, how should the "psr-4": {"app\\Config": " ../../config " }, look like?
Yes you can do that but there are still some considerations. e.g. do you really want to put sensitive config in code which is versioned? A lot of hosting solutions have secrets systems which you can use but if you really have no option than to use code then make sure it is outside of your publicly-accessible web folder. You can create a namespace mapping in the same way that you create any other.
@@GaryClarkeTech Thanks very much Gary. Please, when you say "secret systems ", can you give me an example? It will help me when interacting with the Hosting Company.
@@NedumEze Yes a a lot of companies use something called secrets which is a way of entering sensitive data which can be retrieved by your app in a similar way as what you do with environment variables
@@GaryClarkeTech I have used procedural PHP and worked with CodeIgniter and Opencart. I decided to get a good understanding of OOP and your tutorial was a great start! Thank you
@@GaryClarkeTech what to do in PHP 7.4 when you have both divider and currencySymbol default arguments by you just want to change only the currency one ? do you need to use both when calling the priceAsCurrency method or is there another solution ? in production is not always possible to use PHP 8, so it would be good to know how to do it. Thanks for this free course
@@maurobono5324 before php 8, args with defaults have to come after positional args that don't have defaults. If you want to change one of the agrs with a default, you also have to provide values for the others :( That's really one of the problems that named args was designed to solve
Yes, I think that would be a good idea. With Laravel you'll be able to take what you've learnt and start building some cool stuff...that's what it's all about.
