PHP Programming in the AI Era Build faster PHP applications using GenAI, modern PHP features, and production-ready workflows (Doug Bierer, Rainier Sarabia)（Z-Library）

Author： Doug Bierer, Rainier Sarabia

PHP offers several powerful features, but many developers struggle to apply them effectively in real-world applications while maintaining performance, security, and code quality. This book addresses that challenge by combining modern PHP practices with generative AI to help you build faster and more reliably. You will work through hands-on recipes that show how to design, generate, and refine PHP 8 applications using AI alongside proven engineering techniques. From writing clean object-oriented code and designing scalable architectures to automating repetitive tasks, you will learn how to use AI as a development aid without losing control over quality. As you progress, you will optimize applications using OPcache, JIT, and async programming, while applying secure coding practices and modern design patterns. The book also explores real-world use cases, including REST APIs, microservices, WebSocket applications, and database-driven systems, helping you translate concepts into production-ready solutions. You will also learn how to modernize legacy PHP codebases, validate AI-generated code, and integrate testing workflows to improve reliability and maintainability. Additionally, you will understand how to enhance PHP websites by making API calls to GenAI platforms. By the end of this book, you will be able to combine PHP and generative AI effectively to build secure, high-performance applications ready for real-world deployment.
