Undoubtedly the best PHP instructor, making the trickiest PHP concepts feel as easy as ABC when you explain them. ❤

This is the part i like about web dev.
You teach a variety of things.
Not just the basics.

On my first internship i was asked to put capcha on a form. It took me few days

It was sorta overwhelming because. Because in courses they just teach you the basics
Which are not remotely close to real world scenarios.

great a clear and easy to understand video thank you so much. Would love to see a more complex form with lots of boxes and lines and shading.

Mpdf, emailing a pdf, logging into db, a more complex invoice with a twig/blade template and multiple elements, etc. But at the end of the day you are the best, as always thanks.

You are awesome teacher!

Thanks, really useful and well explained. I'll be experimenting with this as my case use was not covered. I'd like to batch convert several html files to pdfs and will try executing a suitable php script in bash without using a browser. It will depend on domphp having its own pdf creator rather than borrowing browser functionality.

Liked you video I am learning at very short time
