PHP Data Types - Typecasting Overview & How It Works - Full PHP 8 Tutorial

Let's review the data types in PHP & typecasting. PHP does some magic when it comes to handling various data types. It's called type juggling. There will be individual videos for each of the types because I want to go into more detail & discuss some of the important things that otherwise would make this video too long. These small details are very important in my opinion because they will help you understand how things work in PHP what some may call "magic" when it comes to data types & casting.

Can't wait to learn everything. I know it's gonna be few more months before the last video drops of this series.
I wish I could buy this whole series because I am in an internship & my job will start on April 1. So need to clear every concept soon. Your teaching style is amazing with those graphical theories. Unique too. Thanks for such amazing free but premium tutorials.

Amazing teaching php has never been easier!!!!

[mihajlocolic]

Since i already know more languages i tried doing a for loop for the arrays and I figured it out right off the bat, just have to get used to using $ when declaring a variable or referencing it, and when accessing the value of some array just doing someArray[$i] as in my case.

This type coercion thing just blew my mind. I did not know this.

[mohammadqaribi]

wow, I'm really impressed to see such a valuable content on youtube ; and more than that I'm impressed with your teaching style, everything is explained clearly and every possible question is covered ; also it has a good speed and it's not boaring. just like a miracle!
although maybe it wouldn't be best choice for absolute starters it is the most suitable for someone who knows how to program another language and wants to learn php or someone like me that has a good computer knowledge but doesn't know how to code.
hope it continues and wish you best. thanks a lot!

Your teaching style is awesome. If by any change you're expert at other programming language like JavaScript or Python, would be very appreciated if you publish videos. Anyways, keep it up!
