Start to learn PHP

Meet PHP

I usually use Clojure/ClojureScript, and have experience for Java(5,8), C++11 and JavaScript(ES6).

Now, I'm stating to learn PHP with 初めてのPHP(O'REILLY Japan).

Environment

$ php -v
PHP 7.2.15 (cli) (built: Feb  7 2019 20:10:03) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.2.15, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies

Launch build-in Web server

$ php -S localhost:8888
$ open localhost:8888

// First PHP code
<?php

print 'Hello, world!';

See http://localhost:8888

Notes for me

• array() == []
• array can use like map or list
• implode(',', []) is like (str/join "," [])
• explode(',", "...") is like (str/split "..." #",")
• Use $GLOBALS or global keyword to access global variables in function
  • Mostly should use $GLOBALS
• $GLOBALS is named super global
• To add type definition:
  • function(string $x): int
• To call static method:
  • ClassName::method_name()
• Constructor name is __construct()
• namespace declare: \A\B\C
• use keyword use like this: use \A\B\C as X
• list($a, $b) = array(1 2) is destructuring like (let [[a b] [1 2]])
