If you are familiar with the basics of any programming language like C, Java then learning PHP for you will become a walk in the park.
PHP is an open-source, server-side scripting language and also a widely-used powerful tool for making dynamic and interactive web pages. To implement PHP, one should have a basic idea about HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Despite of being one of the oldest programming languages, PHP got rid of most of the glitches and has now become one of the simple, flawless and fastest programming languages for web development!
Why hover around PHP?
Because,
• It is one of the easiest languages to start off as a beginner. •It supports a wide range of databases. •It is compatible with almost all servers used today. The most common being Apache, IIS etc. •It is efficient and free to use.

Just like any other programming language, PHP has all the basic features in it. Additionally, it has an interesting feature which keeps me moving around PHP, is – The Superglobals.The Superglobals.
Here’s a sneak peek of The Superglobals.
Superglobals: They are pre-defined variables, which are always accessible, regardless of scope and we can access them from any function, without having to do anything special. The Superglobal variables are: • $GLOBALS • $_GET • $_POST • $_SESSION • $_COOKIE • $_SERVER • $_REQUEST • $_FILES • $_ENV: They are pre-defined variables, which are always accessible, regardless of scope and we can access them from any function, without having to do anything special.
The Superglobal variables are:
• $GLOBALS
• $_GET
• $_POST
• $_SESSION
• $_COOKIE
• $_SERVER
• $_REQUEST
• $_FILES
• $_ENV
Note: In PHP, we declare a variable using ‘$’.: In PHP, we declare a variable using ‘$’.
Did you know?
Being a scripting language, PHP has OOP features as well, since PHP 5. Also, it allows you to write your code in two flavors, one is procedural and the other is object oriented! Definitely sounds fascinating as a beginner, doesn’t it?
PHP has all the basic OOP features, which makes it faster and easier to execute.
Why not unfold some other perks of learning PHP?
Before unfolding them, let’s consider an example. Assume that you have decided to start a business. You open a dog treat bakery and would want to represent your bakery all around through a website. You have designed the website using HTML, CSS and JavaScript, added some photos about your products. So, you are done right?
But hey? How would you interact with your customers and accept orders in a large number through your static website?
In order to make it dynamic, you need to store the data of those many customers at a time. To achieve that you need a database.
Here comes MySql into the picture. MySql is the most popular database system used with PHP.MySql into the picture. MySql is the most popular database system used with PHP.
With PHP and MySql, we can connect to and manipulate databases. However, we can create the connection between MySql and PHP by using: mysqli_query[]PHP and MySql, we can connect to and manipulate databases. However, we can create the connection between MySql and PHP by using: mysqli_query[]
PHP + MySql = cross-platform i.e., We can develop in Windows and serve in a Unix platform. i.e., We can develop in Windows and serve in a Unix platform.
So, these are some of the very basic and interesting features of PHP which made me plump for it as my very first scripting language. Also, it is not possible to list down every feature of PHP for the sake of the length. Still in a hesitation to go for PHP as a beginner? Let me melt the ice for you, PHP 7 is faster than Python and Ruby!
Although most of the developers don’t really like PHP, as it has been stagnating for over 20 years now. Despite of this aversion, every year a new version of PHP is released with a précised agenda.
As we all know, a programming language always evolves but, its reputation doesn’t. So, keep exploring and keep learning!
Ý nghĩa của cookbook và nutshell?
Có mấy tựa sách nó có phần tên là cookbook hay là nutshell hay là dummies.
Bạn nào có thể giải thích ý nghĩa của từng loại ebook này không, nếu là người bắt đầu thì nên đọc loại nào trước
Cookbook có nghĩa là hướng dẫn tỉ mỉ từng chi tiết một. Danh từ này xuất phát từ những sách hướng dẫn về cách nấu những món ăn. Nếu bạn đã từng đọc một quyển sách dậy nấu ăn...hay, thì bạn hẳn phải biết, tác giả phải hướng dẫn từng chi tiết một: bao nhiêu thìa nước mắm, bao nhiêu lượng muối, hành, tiêu tỏi, cách ướp gia vị, vân vân...
Nutshell cũng có nghĩa tương đương với cookbook, tức là tỉ mỉ và chi tiết.
Còn dummies có nghĩa đen là những hình nộm, nghĩa bóng là những người ngu đần. "C# for Dummies" chẳng hạn, có nghĩa là C# cho những người ngu đần. Phải hiểu rộng ra ở đây, là nếu một người ngu đần mà đọc sách có thể viết lập trình được, có nghĩa là bất cứ ai đọc sách cũng có thể viết lập trình được.
Giản dị thế thôi.
cookbook là sách tỉ mỉ nhưng ko sâu sắc thường dành cho người mới học và muốn làm đc việc nhanh
Nutshell là cái quả "quái gì đấy" khi cần lên sẽ nhìn được vào tận bên trong của nó, họ dùng từ này với ý nghĩa là cuốn sách sẽ phơi bày ra những điều rõ ràng, dễ hiểu.
Sori, tôi lười tra từ điển nên không biết nutshell là tên quả gì
in a nutshell: 1 bản tóm tắt, rõ ràng, ngắn gọn.: 1 bản tóm tắt, rõ ràng, ngắn gọn.
