PHP Programming in the AI Era: Build faster PHP applications using GenAI, modern PHP features, and production-ready workflows
Accelerate PHP performance with AI by generating, refining, and optimizing code using modern patterns, async workflows, and secure design with practical recipes
Key FeaturesUse Generative AI to write, optimize, and debug PHP 8 code in real-world scenariosBuild high-performance applications using JIT, OPcache, Fibers, and async programmingImplement robust encryption, CAPTCHA, session protection, and test-driven development with AI assistance.Book DescriptionPHP 8 introduces powerful features like JIT compilation, Fibers, union types, and attributes, but many developers struggle to use them effectively in real-world projects. This book solves that problem by combining PHP 8 with Generative AI to help you build faster, smarter, and more reliable applications.
Through practical, hands-on recipes, you’ll learn how to use AI to generate clean OOP code, design scalable architectures, and automate repetitive development tasks. You’ll optimize performance using OPcache, JIT, and async programming while also implementing robust security practices and modern design patterns.
The book goes beyond basics, covering real-world use cases such as building REST APIs, microservices, WebSocket-based applications, and database-driven systems. You’ll also learn how to modernize legacy PHP applications, improve code quality with AI-assisted testing, and apply test-driven development workflows.
By the end, you’ll be able to confidently use AI alongside PHP 8 to build secure, high-performance, and production-ready web applications.
What you will learnUse GenAI prompts to generate, refactor, and optimize PHP classes and functionsCreate high-performance apps using JIT, OPcache, and async programmingBuild secure web apps with session protection, encryption, CAPTCHA, and token-based formsWork with databases using AI-generated queries and caching strategiesDesign scalable systems with OOP, design patterns, and microservicesDevelop REST APIs, WebSockets, and real-time applications using AI assistanceApply test-driven development with AI-generated acceptance criteria and automated testsWho this book is forThis book is for intermediate to advanced PHP developers who are familiar with core PHP concepts such as variables, functions, and object-oriented programming, and have hands-on experience building applications. It is aimed at professionals and enthusiasts who want to enhance their skills by integrating Generative AI tools into everyday PHP development. Readers are looking for practical, real-world recipes that leverage modern PHP features, such as union types, JIT compilation, fibers, and attributes, and helps them build applications faster while maintaining control over AI-generated output.
