Getting ready for PHP6

by jon on October 30, 2009

Stefan approached me awhile back to produce a short series of videos on what developers should be expecting as of PHP 5.3+. I try to keep the content of my tutorials in the context of trying to solve a specific problem. The project in this case is a home-grown MVC framework. I've borrowed some of the nomenclature from the Zend Framework since I work with it on a regular basis. Hopefully the discussion on PHP namespaces, closures and autoloading will be interesting. Check out Getting into PHP6 and Advanced PHP Concepts on KillerPHP.

Very excited to watch this series. I watched the first video and it’s great and easy to follow as always. Is the series going to be for sale or free?

thanks

I’m not sure what Stefan is planning with this series. I think he’ll be giving a good part of it away though.

Hey Jon,

In your first vid in this series you have your setup so that http://killerphp goes to your localhost/killerphp folder. Then in that folder you have a public folder and your index.php is in there and it loads when you load http://killerphp instead of having to navigate to http://localhost/killerphp/public

How do you accomplish this?

Excellent series by the way!

thanks

OK, I think I figured it out. You set up a virtual host in httpd.conf and pointed it to sites/killerphp/public. Am I correct?

yep. that’s right :)

Thanks Jon! I’m learning a lot following this series. Can’t wait for all the vids to be released. You’re an excellent teacher.
