🧠 PHP 8 Objects, Patterns, and Practice by Matt Zandstra

“Code with Precision, Deploy with Power” 🔥 Code Command Academy – Elite PHP Training Module


👋 Yo fam — You ready to go full beast mode with PHP 8? 🤖 Слышь, боец, хватай книгу и вгрызайся в ООП по-взрослому. 🚀 同志们,准备好用 PHP 8 打造高级代码武器了吗?


🪖 FIELD REPORT: Why This Book Slaps

Matt Zandstra didn’t just write a book—he dropped an OOP tactical guidebook for real ones building PublicSOS or anything that ain’t a spaghetti-coded mess.

You’ll get:

  • PHP 8’s 🔥 newest syntax
  • 🏰 Solid OOP fundamentals
  • 🧩 Real-world design patterns
  • 🧪 Testing & deployment practice
  • 🛠️ CI + Git game on point

🛡️ OOP: Learn It. Live It. Love It.

“Objects are the building blocks of scalable PHP apps.” (p. 42) Классы — твои солдаты. Методы — их команды. 面向对象 = 结构清晰,代码可扩展。

class Alert {
    public function __construct(
        public string $message,
        public int $priority
    ) {}
}

🎯 Use This In PublicSOS

  • Extend BaseAlert to make SMSAlert, EmailAlert
  • Promote properties for cleaner code

💥 Exceptions: Handle chaos, don’t cause it:

throw new Exception("Mission failed. Try again.", 500);

🆕 PHP 8 PERKS: Get Fancy, Stay Sharp

FeatureUseCode
?? Null CoalescingDefault fallback$mode = $_ENV['mode'] ?? 'test';
#[Attribute]Clean meta#[Route('/ping')]
Typed PropsType safetypublic string $channel;
$status = match ($alert->priority) {
    1 => '⚠️ High',
    2 => '⚠ Medium',
    default => '✅ Low',
};

🧠 PHP 8 不只是新语法,是你代码的升级武器


🏗️ DESIGN PATTERNS = DEV OPS STRATS

“Patterns solve problems you’ll face again and again.” (p. 189) Повторяешься? Пора использовать паттерны.

🔨 Factory Method

class AlertFactory {
    public static function create(string $type): Alert {
        return match ($type) {
            'SMS' => new SMSAlert(),
            'Email' => new EmailAlert(),
            default => throw new Exception("Type '$type' not supported."),
        };
    }
}

🧱 Repository Pattern

Split DB from logic:

class UserRepository {
    public function findById(int $id): ?User {
        // pull user from db
    }
}

📦 Active Record + typed props = clean & mean

class Alert {
    public int $id;
    public string $message;
}

🛠️ GEAR CHECK: Tools for Clean Deploys

🔧 “Good code needs good ops.” (p. 325)

📦 Composer

composer require monolog/monolog

📁 Keep composer.json tidy — No 🚮 dependencies

🧪 PHPUnit

class AlertTest extends TestCase {
    public function testMessage() {
        $alert = new Alert("Test", 1);
        $this->assertEquals("Test", $alert->message);
    }
}

🛠 CI: Push. Test. Deploy. GitHub Actions = DevOps on 🔥

on: [push]
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - run: composer install
      - run: vendor/bin/phpunit
