Hi all,
This is a question for our resident PHP expert Keith Smith, but others
please feel free to chime in...
In what ways, if any, is knowledge of HTML and CSS valuable to a PHP
programmer?
I would say that a PHP developer must know the full stack. That does not
mean that one needs to be an expert in all areas.
To answer your question a PHP developer MUST know how to integrate PHP
in HTML. That does not mean the PHP programmer needs to be an expert in
HTML.
I think a PHP developer needs some basic knowledge of CSS. As a PHP
developer I rarely create a template for a website. I am not artistic
in that way. I've always worked with the design and what the designer
provides. Having said that I had to make some minor changes to the
template (HTML/CSS).
This could be an entire white paper.
Here is my opinion.
There is too much to know to learn it all before beginning.
I suggest getting some familiarity with:
HTML (including making a template responsive)
CSS
Linux
Apache and / or Nginx
MySQL
PHP
JavaScript
AJAX
Add to this the developer should be using something like VirtualBox or
Proxmox and be able to install a Linux server and install onto that a
LAMP configuration.
The programmer needs to know a bit of networking and be able to
configure a static IP on his/her VM and understand how to use the
windows and Linux host file to create a local net for testing. That
includes using something like .local as a TLD.
That is my opinion. I'd like to hear from others.
Keith
Thanks,
