A few weeks ago I was reading up on Heredoc and Nowdoc and just didn't grasp it. This video has changed that and I can now see the purpose. Thank you for bringing this one to the table!

[@ProgramWithGio]

Great to hear that. You're welcome 👍

[@timstreithoff]

I really love your tutorials because youre litterally wasting none of my time. In other tutorials, you always have to wait until useful content is delivered. With your videos, everything is brought on point without any blabla and I love your quite fast speaking as it helps me concentrate. Many thanks for this masterpiece of tutorial series ❤

[@ProgramWithGio]

So glad to hear that, thank you so much 💙💙

[@schwkrls]

I love tutors who answer the questions as they pop up in my brain! Exactly what I wanted to ask, if it can be used to include html. :)

[@ProgramWithGio]

Haha. Glad I could answer your questions 🙂

[@karam0101]

Thank you for these great videos, I guess it is worth to mention that If the closing identifier is indented further than any lines of the body, then a Parse Error will be thrown.

[@ProgramWithGio]

Great point, thank you 💙

Gio, your tutorials are a treasure trove of PHP knowledge. Thank you!

[@ProgramWithGio]

Thank you

[@karolkolanko594]

4:43 No! That function doesn't change new lines to break lines. It's insert break lines before all newlines.

[@ProgramWithGio]

That's correct, I misspoke, it inserts before the newline characters while keeping them instead of replacing. Thanks 👍

[@Irfan-Rajput-Laravel-Developer]

Sir, I have a question if we want to perform the addition of two dynamic variables in heredoc or now-doc its possible

[@ProgramWithGio]

No, don't think so. You would do the addition operation as a separate statement, store result in variable & use that variable in heredoc

[@Herobotick2025]

Straight to the point you are awesome

[@МиткоЖечев]

$lastName = "${firstName} Smith" is deprecated.

[@ProgramWithGio]

Yup, this was recorded awhile ago. We cover deprecations and what's new in 8.1 and 8.2 in later episodes

[@emonklas1046]

Sir, plz make a video about the carrier of CODING, or give a guideline for becoming a pro coder and which language is better to earn money as a student. I am your regular student Lots of TNX from BANGLADESH.

[@ProgramWithGio]

Thanks for the suggestion, will add this to the list

[@yahayaoyinkansola8258]

This heredoc and nowdoc is beautiful!, this is like using ES6 concatenation in JS, but for PHP. the only issue that I see is using a proper identifier indicating what it's doing, but aside from that, it is really cool

[@ProgramWithGio]

Yea, it comes in handy for long texts

[@begoniasuccess]

Your tutorial is amazing! It really helps me a lot. :)

[@ProgramWithGio]

Glad to hear that, thank you 🙏

[@bjornroesbeke]

I started writing scripts with PHP4, and it took this video on basics of the language to tell me that something has been deprecated ánd learn me new things that i've never seen bevore.

[@ProgramWithGio]

Glad it was useful, thank you

[@araromirichie4825]

Please can you explain why the two p tags inside the div in the heredoc example gave an output of so much space between hello and world in the browser? Anyone who knows why can answer please thanks

[@ProgramWithGio]

Its the default browser margin I believe, also my screen is zoomed in.

[@nyinyiandnyinyi]

Learned a lot of basics from this tutorial which are not covered in others. Really really useful and good for a beginner... thanks a lot Gio

[@ProgramWithGio]

Awesome, happy to hear

[@nbsalemyt]

Awesome work but better to put sequence number on each clip name (1.8 - PHP String Data Types .....)

[@ProgramWithGio]

Thank you. That does not work well with KZbin's algorithm & recommends my videos less when it has sequence numbers. Thats why I put it in thumbnail & also have a github repo that lists all videos in order. Link is in the description.

[@jorgegatica]

Gracias por los videos, explicados muy al detalle. Desafortunadamente, este video KZbin no tiene habilitada la traducción como en los anteriores .

[@ProgramWithGio]

KZbin adds subtitles automatically & provides translations, for some videos they don't add it for some reason unfortunately

[@nihat0]

Your contents are very precious and unique

[@ProgramWithGio]

Thank you 💙

[@prajwalsiwakoti9866]

so much information. Thank you, Gio. Looks like u have mastered the language😀

[@ProgramWithGio]

Thank you 💙

[@maneasema7272]

It would be good if you use the same background color for both the editor and webpage.

[@ProgramWithGio]

Why? I like contrast, having the same background for everything would get boring 🙂. Joke aside, I wouldn't want to waste time on CSS

[@ינוןאלבז-כ1ז]

Thank you so much for these informative and intelligible videos.

[@alexbarut2066]

why subtitles doesn't exist in this video ?

Sometimes KZbin doesn't add subtitles, idk why.
