An Internet of PHP PHP is big. The trolls can proclaim its all-but-certain “death” until the cows come home, but no amount of heckling changes that the Internet runs on PHP. The evidence is overwhelming. What follows is a loosely organised collection of precisely that evidence.Amazing PHP

Unveiling the secret power of encapsulation In the world of software development, encapsulation is a fundamental concept that plays a crucial role in building robust, maintainable, and scalable applications. Encapsulation is one of the four pillars of object-oriented programming (OOP), along with inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction. It provides a mechanism to bundle related data and methods into a single unit, known as a class, and restricts direct access to the internal state of an object.Amazing PHP

Avoiding the pitfalls of abstract and common services In the ever-evolving world of software engineering, creating robust and maintainable applications is a constant challenge. One common mistake that engineers often make is creating overly common or abstract services. While the idea of reusability and abstraction is appealing, it can lead to a host of problems, including violations of the single responsibility principle and the open/closed principle. In this article, we will delve into the issues that engineers may encounter when creating generic services and highlight the importance of embracing specificity.Amazing PHP

Unit testing tips by examples in PHP In these times, the benefits of writing unit tests are huge. I think that most of the recently started projects contain any unit tests. In enterprise applications with a lot of business logic, unit tests are the most important tests, because they are fast and can us instantly assure that our implementation is correct. However, I often see a problem with good tests in projects, though these tests' benefits are only huge when you have good unit tests. So in these examples, I will try to share some tips on what to do to write good unit tests.Amazing PHP

Do generators really reduce the memory usage? Recently I noticed some controversy regarding memory usage with generators. It looks like that many people genuinely take generators as a tool that somehow can get them "a big performance boost" when working with large datasets. Sort of a magician's hat, where one can put any amount of data without affecting the PHP process' memory.Amazing PHP

6 Algorithms Every Developer Should Know Hello, I am Richard. I am a developer, and you should know that I’m not a big fan of data structures and algorithms. If you can relate to this, don’t worry; after working on many projects (small and large), I discovered the six important algorithms that every developer should know, and these six will almost always solve every problem in your development process.Amazing PHP

Accessing private properties in PHP Private properties can only be accessed by the class that defines the property… right? Actually, PHP has a few ways to circumvent this: reflection, closures and array casting.Amazing PHP

Modern PHP data Encryption/Decryption with Sodium extension Throughout the years PHP has added support for several extensions, libraries, and algorithms to encrypt and decrypt data. With several libraries and extensions with various levels of maintenance, several algorithms each potentially carrying pros and cons, some even inherently being insecure, it is very difficult to select the appropriate PHP extension, library, encryption constructs, and balance the security and performance.Amazing PHP

PHP: Named arguments are your friends I stumbled upon an article in Stitcher.io that, in a few words, declares that developers should be aware that Named Arguments will break things. That’s quite weird when you consider they fix more than what they "break".Amazing PHP

PHP 8: The JIT The pros and cons of adding a JIT compiler to PHP. Dmitry Stogov recently opened an RFC to add a JIT compiler to PHP. So, what is that about? Does "JIT" mean "instantly better PHP", or is this a more nuanced topic? Today we'll briefly look at what the "JIT" actually does, and more importantly: the difficulties and opportunities it brings to the PHP world.Amazing PHP

Best practices for writing code comments While there are many resources to help programmers write better code—such as books and static analyzers—there are few for writing better comments. While it's easy to measure the quantity of comments in a program, it's hard to measure the quality, and the two are not necessarily correlated. A bad comment is worse than no comment at all. Here are some rules to help you achieve a happy medium.Amazing PHP

Why our code tends to become big ball of mud over time Our codebases seem to corrode over time. Overall quality tends to decrease. Each new change is harder to introduce. We all use OOP good practices, control our dependencies, adjust to SOLID principles and use patterns. And even so, our systems head toward becoming a big ball of mud inevitably. It turns out it is not enough to keep systems viable in an environment of relentless change.Amazing PHP
