I wake up at 4:30 AM every day and spend the first 3 hours of my day watching this playlist. Can't wait to see how I'll do with the exercise project!

Love this playlist. Even though I use PHP day in day out, this is a great refresher and provides some of the best explanation / examples I've ever seen. Plus gain some insight on aspects of PHP I don't use, but might find a use for.

I'm glad i found your channel, thank you for your efforts

[truthteachers]

Bro, Initially I had trouble following the course becoz i was moaning there was no source code. But i am going through the Part 2 all over again and this time entering the code, it really made sense and i was understanding things better. Thank you so much bro.

[Zubbee]

I really do like your videos Gio, that's why I really do like and comment. It's the least I can do for such great content.

[federicobau]

Great content and very well explained.

[ryanw.fonseca]

Nice work! Clear and objective explanation

[Śmiechoteka]

3:20, Can't we just use self::__construct(), to call the constructor and generate new unique ID? i did it and it works, is it a bad practice or something?

[ינוןאלבז-כז]

Clear explanation Thanks for the video

[bogdanmarian]

Hello Gio, thank you for the great explanation on the cloning of objects topic. What would be a practical scenario where we would implement/use this oop feature?

[ryanford]

Thanks for the video, Gio!

0:51 I wonder why the dumped objects have these out-of-order IDs: #3, #2 and then #4. I ran the same code on my machine and got #1, #2 and #3. How can that be explained?

[rosarioveneruso]

Hi Gio, what do you mean exactly by shallow copy of an object?

[Vitalii-mr]

Is it correct to say that the 'clone' keyword in PHP is an implementation of the Prototype pattern?

[andrepedrosa]

Hi Gio. I like your contents. Do you have video tutorials of a real web project? Are you planning doing that and share it on the youtube? Thank you

I have a question that is indeed a bit to understand the key value of frameworks and dependency packages. In these I more often find self() instead of the static() that you mention and I understand the difference but guess it might be the same in this case to use the one or the other.

In many above constallations the result is:

class A {
public function adapter() {
$instance = B::create();
}

class B {
public static function create() {
return C::create(new self());
}

class C {
public function __construct($value)
{
$this->value = $value;
}
public static function create($value):self {
return new self($value);
}

For me this is confusing and not readable. I guess the result is that I have $instance that is an object of class C and has access to the object of class B through $instance-value. Am I right? Why that complicated?? For me object orientation is to get more clearity to the code but in a framework and similar it for me only results in mad code chaos. I understand what the method of A shall do but it runs through two other classes that have nothing to do with it to achieve it. I simply don't understand why I should include such a mess into my code.

Could you please tell me: If I really understand what the framework/package does, do you think it is still better to rely on the framework/package or is it better to use my own code that simply returns the exactly same result but more readable and/or faster with less extra loops? I more and more come to the point that it only makes sense to use a framework if you ignore what it does in the background and just rely on the results it offers. For me I would always want to either to understand all the third party code or varify every result coming from that code. I guess that is no effective coding....

Just to mention that you can use __FUNCTION__ to print name of the function :)
