Ask HN: PHP Book for Advanced Programmers
Hi!
I am contributing to a Laravel project written in PHP7.4.
I am looking for an up-to-date book to conceptually learn PHP for advanced programmers.
It seems PHP has changed a lot in the recent years, so I would like to find a book which is relevant for current best practices in PHP.
What I am not looking for:
- a book aimed at beginners in programming (e.g. I don't need to learn what a for-loop is).
- a book only about MySQL and web development with PHP.
Thanks!
- datashaman 6y agoNot a book per se, but (since you mention Laravel) the Laravel framework documentation is excellent for high-level best practices for PHP web development. https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/ https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/ I reference this site when I'm unsure which approach to follow with PHP. https://phptherightway.com/ https://phptherightway.com/ If interoperability is important, the recommended standards make good reading. https://www.php-fig.org/ https://www.php-fig.org/
