PHP For Beginners, Ep 17 - PDO First Steps 

Jeffrey I have so much appreciation for the way you explain things. Being a proud paying member of Laracasts I which I had you on speed dial. You are such a great teacher. Please never stop doing the great work you are doing.

I have come to realise I enjoy these videos so much more day by day that it flies away so fast

I've been watching your tutorials from the time you have been in Envato team and I have to say I have never seen anyone explain programing concepts better than you. Please never stop teaching.

One of the aspects that makes Jeffery stand out is that he isn't afraid to make mistakes while making these videos - show how code tends to fail and explain why that happened as opposed to try to quickly make some perfect magic happen before your eyes like many youtube charlatans do. Couldn't recommend Jefferey and Laracasts more if you work or are learning PHP or web dev in general. Really valuable stuff.

Your style is perfect. I have watched many tutorials, no one is like you. I'm actually a medium full stack developer, watching the course to see if there's more simplicity. And I am aggree with other your subscribers please never stop. You ara doing good job.

I'm loving this course. I spent 25 years in IT on the operations side, mostly as a business systems architect and have dabbled with php through wordpress for years. However, I have never been serious about really learning the language. Now in my semi-retirement, I want to get serious about programming and I love the level of detail you provide probably because it has a flair of architecture to it. Knowing how something works is important for me to be comfortable with it. Many programmers are happy simply to know that some string of code works and they aren't compelled to understand the architecture. There isn't anything wrong with that other than most of the programming training is a bit frustrating for me and I skip too much causing me to miss things and need to backtrack. I am very comfortable with all of the concepts you are discussing but find myself listening anyway because of the way you deliver the information. It is excellent for those who have no familiarity with it and it is interesting enough for people like me to pay attention and perhaps catch a detail that we hadn't known before. Great work.

Really like how you present this stuff. Thanks.

Great way to learn PHP vanille , even if later we work with à framework like Laravel, it's very important to know what happens behind the scenes , THX

Hello, great video. I am beginner in php and these videos helps me a lot. Have you placed the code in a repository on Github, by chance?

Hey Jeffrey! What is your PhpStorm theme?

How many episodes will there be? And will there be projects at the end or along the tutorials?

👍

What database IDE are you using?

Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: could not find driver in C:\Users\ahmed\Desktop\websites\demo\index.php:8 Stack trace: #0 C:\Users\ahmed\Desktop\websites\demo\index.php(8): PDO->__construct('mysql:host=loca...') #1 {main} thrown in C:\Users\ahmed\Desktop\websites\demo\index.php on line 8 || || v $pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;port=3306;dbname=myapp,user=root; password=123456;charset=utf8mb4");

What is the difference between -> and :: ?

It's a nice explanation, but PDO was bad when it came out... And it's still bad today 🙅‍♂
