It’s Magic!<\/h4>\n
PHP \u2014 the mystical power that streamlines the use of functions on a website. Once mastered, it can be a code editor\u2019s dream…though the process of getting there can seem more like a nightmare.<\/div>\n
PHP has JavaScript under the hood so like JavaScript \u2014 and unlike CSS3 or HTML5 \u2014 it does not tell you if you missed a needed space before closing quotation mark or that you forgot a semi colon and the end of a line. It just won\u2019t work. It will just sit there and silently mock you until you figure out where the error is.<\/div>\n

Okay, It Only Seems Like Magic.<\/h4>\n
This is where a PHP code checker like https:\/\/phpcodechecker.com\/<\/a> can be very helpful, particularly if you are trying to find one missing comma in three pages of code.<\/div>\n
While the error checking can be nightmarish, the thing that keeps me coming back for more is that feeling of achieving \u201cthe win\u201d when I finally get it right and it works.<\/div>\n

But it is Still Very Cool!<\/h4>\n
PHP is an amazing tool that powers the magic behind much of what is found on the web including the two giants \u2014 WordPress and FaceBook \u2014 which makes me think it is a language worth learning since it is likely to be around a while.<\/div>\n
For coders seeking video based instruction – check out some of the resources on sites like Udemy.com<\/a> or LinkedInLearning.com<\/a> (formerly Lynda.com<\/a>)<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
