# Welcome to Some drops of PHP

![Some drops of PHP](public/header.webp)

## The reason why

This book collects some useful, unknown, underrated PHP functions or stuff discovered, used, and learned during PHP daily use.

Using PHP frameworks/libraries daily, sometimes the perception of the power of the language and the basic functionalities provided by the PHP core could be lost.

I see that usually, I used to look at the framework documentation or look for a package in Packagist for the system, array, and string functions instead of using core functionalities provided by the language.

While I wrote this ebook in HTML format, I also wrote some scripts to better understand the behavior of the functions. You can find these examples here: https://github.com/roberto-butti/some-drops-of-php in the _examples_ directory.

> We are excited to invite you to Contribute to this book. More [info here](https://github.com/roberto-butti/some-drops-of-php/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)

### Requirements

The code used in this book is tested with **PHP 8.3** (and PHP 8.2).

The supported PHP versions are listed here: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php.

### Continuous release

I was thinking of printing this book, but I think that is not so eco-friendly and a book about development could be improved daily in terms of spellchecking and the content and examples. So, I expect to adopt the same approach in the software with the CI/CD, with a continuous release of the book.

Releases:

> The book is a Work in Progress. If you notice any errors or believe that a new function should be covered, feel free to open an issue [here](https://github.com/roberto-butti/some-drops-of-php/issues).
