You're a fantastic teacher. Your delivery in this short video was excellent. 😮

[illegalsmirf]

This is amazing. I was nowhere near the professional solution that you provided. I obviously have a lot of work to do!

[MaziarHeidari-ie]

Thansk you so much. Ive had watched some other courses about php like bro code. Your course is much more complicated. Its harder to understsnd and for me as a person who has never done a serious job in php in some how hard to understsnd how can i use this knowledge in real world and for example in a company . I feel like i know nothing !!!!

[batchrocketproject]

These overviews are really useful. I build php projects infrequently and often need quick revision if it's been a long time since my last php project and find a few minutes spent on your video for a topic saves me lots of time. Thanks.

Really amazing course, and I feel if you do this first section, a lot of other languages will get easier, I already found a lot of similarities with go, node and a lot other languages

Thank you gio, I'm still learning from here.

Hello,
Cool explanation of the files related methods.
Thank you!

Some thoughts - maybe we need some video about SplFileInfo class - it useful with files.
But yes, it's already OOP section.

[Vitalii-mr]

Yeah, it's pretty useful to know how to handle file system. Thanks!

[asmotovlogs]

Amazing tutorial. This tutorial is very important for beginners.

[lairotuT-Tutorial]

oh, I was too late with the comment on the last video :-) But really this video is again a masterpiece of tutorials. Best PHP-Tutor ever!

[aryank]

Hi Gio, I would suggest you to also create videos on PHP Streams and stream related functions. There are so many concepts in there to know and understand. Thanks for your amazing video lessons!!

[bigorstojanov]

Great course, Gio. kudos. However, one thing that is kind of very annoying is the audio jump cuts. Everything feels rushed when there is no pause between sentences .

[mimoh]

@Gio, have been following from the scratch. Please what are the major differences between
the fgets() and file_get_contents().

[MaziarHeidari-ie]

In the 6th min on line 13, I tried to write to while condition just by frets function itself, without assigning it to $line .
Actually it works . But I'm loosing some lines of my file compared with the way you do it. And I don't know why. Do you have any idea?

[jimmymomoh]
