• Snippets

PHP was the first programming language I got paid to code in, back in the Cretaceous period (2003). I'm so, so sorry. All those programmers who inherited my earliest PHP work. I know you're out there, writhing in your straitjackets.

I suppose it's hip for programmers to projectile vomit to any mention of PHP, but they have good reason to. Not because it's necessarily a bad language, and not just because of a couple inconsistently ordered parameters, but because it's too easy to make junk with. You've heard the war stories.

Save a programmer today. Stop a friend from choosing PHP as their first language.

Install

To get started with PHP, you'll need php (5.3+) and composer:

MacOS

PHP 5.5 comes prepackaged with newer versions of MacOS. These instructions are provided for reference:

brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
brew install php71  # or php53, php54, php55
brew install composer

Arch Linux

sudo pacman --needed --noconfirm -S php composer  # or php53, php54, php55

Dependencies

The features in this module optionally depends on the following php packages:

• boris (REPL)
• phpctags (better code completion)
• phpunit (unit test commands)

composer global require \
    d11wtq/boris \
    phpunit/phpunit \
    techlivezheng/phpctags

Ensure that \~/.composer/vendor/bin is in PATH:

# place this in your profile file, like ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshenv
export PATH="~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"
