{"product_id":"b0hdhpg5z2","title":"TutorTurbo's Programming PHP 8.5: Teach a Server to Answer Anybody Who Asks — 24 Illustrated Chapters for Ages 12 and Up","description":"\u003cp\u003eTeach a server to answer anybody who asks. Every time you tap a link, some machine somewhere has half a second to decide what to send back. PHP is the language that does the deciding on a very large share of the web. This book teaches it from the very first line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty-four chapters.  Chapter 1 explains what actually happens between the tap and the page. Chapter 24 packs a finished project up and puts it online. In between you build up, one small idea at a time: variables, choices, loops, lists, functions, objects, forms, logins, files and a real database.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery code sample is a picture E-readers love to rewrap long lines and curl straight quotes into fancy ones, and either one quietly breaks code. So every sample in this book is a rendered image instead, exact spacing, real syntax colors, nothing rearranged. There are  225 code cards  and just as many cards showing the output they produce, so you always know what your screen is supposed to look like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for readers who find dense books hard Say it simply  boxes restate every tricky idea in one plain sentence. ESL hints  untangle the English that trips people up — why a statement is not a sentence, why code throws things. Brain breaks  land right where a chapter gets heavy. Watch out  boxes name the mistake before you make it. Long descriptions on every image, proper heading order, and a navigation document, so the book works with a screen reader. Written for PHP 8.5 The pipe operator.  clone with . The  #[\\NoDiscard]  attribute. Backtraces on fatal errors.  array_first()  and  array_last() . The new URI classes. Each one appears in a  New in PHP 8.5  box with a working example, and Appendix C lists the whole set in one place — including the parts that stopped being a good idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is inside Part One · The Engine Room  — installing PHP, values, math, choices, loops. Part Two · Lists and Tools  — arrays, sorting and filtering, your own functions, types, closures and pipes. Part Three · Things With Blueprints  — classes, locked-down properties, inheritance, traits, enums, and what to do when it all goes wrong. Part Four · Out on the Web  — requests and responses, checking what strangers send you, cookies and sessions, a login that actually locks, files, JSON, CSV, and SQLite through PDO. Part Five · Pro Moves  — attributes and reflection, Composer and other people's code, tests, tuning, and going live. At the back  — a glossary of every term, a cheat sheet, an error-message decoder ring, the full PHP 8.5 change list, and where to go next. Nothing here is theory you have to take on faith. Every sample was run on PHP 8.5 and the output you see is the output it printed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor ages 12 and up, and for anyone else who has been told programming books are dry.  A laptop and about an hour a chapter is all it takes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67890399379701,"sku":"YSL34464","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/8774\/8597\/files\/713Dq19fsaL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793339037","url":"https:\/\/www.newbooks.store\/products\/b0hdhpg5z2","provider":"NewBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
