I hate PHP but those videos at Laracast are amazing and helped me learn Vue, and basic Webpack with Babel. Thinking about watching their PHP videos, but I'm not a web dev and not planning to, any advise? Though I do write websites for my self only

    If you want to watch it, feel free to. Even if it's not a thing you plan to use. After all, it's just discovery.

    @NotFound well my motive was to integrate it with Vue website that I'm working on (just a ToDo app to help me learn)
    I guess I'll follow your advice

    Now that’s confusing.

    “I hate PHP” but “I don’t use it or do webDev” 🤔

    Programming is about the journey, and knowing how to use the tools to conquer your goals.

    You may use it, it'll also be an advantage for younsince you've earned new knowledge even though it's a todo app.

    @C0D4 I know it sounds strange, but I tried learning it in the past and failed to understand it, and whenever I see PHP code i'm like: fuck off bitch I don't like you! lol

    @CodinNShakin exactly, thank you :D

    @gitpush yea, it’s a skill of its own to make it easy to read and useful.

    Downside to a language flexible enough to be a 5 min script, through to major platforms and everything in between.

    @C0D4 I guess then it is worth at least having a background on at least how to do basic stuff such as a simple rest service, and if that goes well I might go for a simple website

    Not a web dev? Why learn Vue and webpack then? 🤔

    @chuksFestus I'm not learning to a point to become an expert just the basics so that if I ever want to do an idea I have at least I have my options. But for career path o chose mobile

    @linuxxx how is that possible 😓
  • 1
    @gitpush Uhm how wouldn't that be possible?

    $ php script.php (et voilà!)

    alias somescript="php script.php"

    $ somescript (voilà!)

    @linuxxx I like, but can it access system I mean like zip command, can you for example make php somefile.php zip /x/y/z?
  • 2
    @gitpush Sure, there's zip libraries but of those don't work, just execute system commands through php :)

    @linuxxx that's interesting, gotta dive deeper and check it out 😀

    PHP is console programm as python, perl etc.

    When you invoke echo the contents goes to standart output and server program reads it and return content as http response.

    @linuxxx I use zlib, works fine for zip and unzip.

    @gitpush If you wanna know, Composer is made with PHP

    Some long times ago I made a local page with PHP to don't have to type commands for certain actions. It worked pretty well.
