Programming Buddies,

Looking at this youtube channel, do you think as a beginner in php (starting at php 7), the channel is good for me to learn php 7 (and no previous version to avoid learning deprecated stuffs) and pdo of php 7 ?
Check his php series and then kindly comment.

Thank You!

PS - You are welcome to recommend channels and video and text tuts apart from recommending php.net, phptherightway.com and lynda's and tutorials.point.com

I watched the intro video. A couple minor issues (eg, no one calls => the "rocket" operator) but when he got to classes he started talking about deprecated syntax. Without looking at the other videos, I'd say that you can use his stuff for regular PHP syntax but maybe look elsewhere for object-oriented stuff.

Mmm. Can you recommend an online text or video tut on php 7, oop and pdo and maybe mysqli too ?
php.net, do they teach oop ? I think they don't teach pdo but mysqli.
I am still listening for recommendations.

Well there's this: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.php

http://php.net/manual/en/book.pdo.php

I don't know of any tutorials specific to PDO, but the book linked above should be enough.

There's a PDO specific website posted in reddit comments often that seems to have been written by someone who hates PDO and let that hatred motivate them to produce a very detailed set of posts that do a very good job of explaining how to avoid every thing in PDO that might annoy or confuse you. I can't actually find it right now but I'll up update with the link as soon as I can.
