Thread to discuss video ideas / new content ideas

Yes, right here, create a feedback post and mention to @jeffreyway something you'd like covered.

I wish he'd do a complete long lesson on things like handling checkboxes. Seems a question comes up weekly that's been answered already numerous times.

New to programming folks just don't realize nothing is passed if a checkbox is not checked.

So there is a starter, a lesson on handling checkbox to include multiple.

Thanks @jlrdw and @jeffreyway if you're reading!

If anyone has video links to the following (if I haven't found them yet) please let me know, but a quick list i've put together while going through the courses.

• Video describing the magic setter/getter methods, which cases they can/should be used (if any), and alternate implementations if you find yourself reaching for the magic methods.

https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.magic.php

• Course on developing PHP command line tool/utility from scratch, similar to artisan and other bundled tools. Including concepts as parsing command line parameters, rendering output to the terminal including terminal rendering of colour/bold etc., and potentially ncurses. I think it would be a nice example of an often overlooked capability of PHP.

• Describe process to develop phar files, particularly command line executable, self contained phar files. This may be a good fit for the above content in developing a command line tool. This could make for a nice tutorial on bundling small tools for portability (unless this method has been superseded?)

• Series devoted to testing for performance and application benchmarking. Tools to use to measure CPU and memory usage of executed code, measuring transaction times with synthetic transactions etc. (this may be covered). This could lead in to methods/tips on tuning CPU and memory performance of applications as they grow?
