Thanks Dave! Love your course on Udemy 👍

Many guys out there are struggling to explain this kind of topics... Dave has that unique ability to make these things easy for us to understand. Thank you Dave! P.S. You should definitely make a course on Laravel. It would be interesting to watch you explaining many of the advanced features that this framework offers!

Thank you the time you put on this, really helped me

[NedumEze]

Been a while, Dave, since your last Video. Missed your Teaching. Paced for understanding. Thanks.
Please could you do separate and better illustrated videos for "Nullables", and "Exceptions"?

Is YouTube's 2x speed faster than Udemy's?

On Udemy I have no problem following what you say at 2x speed. Here I struggle a bit. Almost like as if YouTube's 1.75x speed = Udemy's 2x speed.

Also, THANK YOU for your extremely helpful Courses. I learned so much. Even the easy stuff was news to me.
I'm at a level where I want to listen to all your words as they're generally helpful :D
Teach me Senpai :D

I'm currently taking your Udemy course. You're using PHP 7 on that course. Are you working on an update or is it still okay to continue finishing the course even if it's PHP 7?

Hi Dave, I'm still working my way through your PHP course which is awesome! It's a great resource to have if I need a refresher on certain concepts.

I recently downloaded PHP 8 and installed composer and laravel because I'd like to familiarize myself a little with a php framework. However, when I create a new laravel project in my terminal I get this message:

Cannot use laravel/laravel's latest version v10.2.9 as it requires php ^8.1 which is not satisfied by your platform.
Installing laravel/laravel (v8.6.12)

So I can create a new project, but I don't know why I get this warning message since I installed the latest version of PHP. Do you have any idea why I might be getting this message?

Do you think they will make PHP multi thread or have Async like NODE

[wqyjfsc]

Dave, are u working on a new oop framework project?

[buck]

It seems that the constant FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING has been depreciated in PHP 8.1.0. This constant is usually used in server-side form validation. Any alternatives?

[mistaphi]

The setup was simple enough but I'm encountering the following erroor - Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method Any suggestions?

[gipen]

ugh, i hate php 8, all the freedom I loved from php now is gone, every thing is so strict now!!
