Summary

Learning PHP with Brother Lian is an upgraded edition of the bestselling Detailed PHP (2nd Edition), written by Gao Luofeng, teaching director of Brother Lian IT Education, and others. The book is divided into 6 parts and 32 chapters, each chapter built around a relatively independent PHP knowledge point and accompanied by a wealth of ready-to-use sample code and self-test questions. Part 1, Introduction to Web Development, covers LAMP website construction, HTML and CSS, standardized DIV+CSS layout, and the application of HTML5 and CSS3, helping complete beginners first understand the relationship between front end and server side. Part 2, PHP Fundamentals, covers setting up a development environment, basic syntax, flow control, functions, arrays and data structures, string processing, regular expressions, and object-oriented programming concepts. Part 3 focuses on common PHP functional modules, including error and exception handling, date and time, file system processing, and dynamic image processing (the GD library). Part 4, Database Development, explains MySQL database and data table design, SQL statement design, PHP's extension functions for accessing MySQL, and the database abstraction layer PDO. Part 5, Advanced PHP Development, covers MemCache, session control, the CURL extension, the Smarty template engine, the MVC pattern, and the ultra-lightweight framework BroPHP 2.0. Part 6, Project Development, uses an e-commerce mall system as an example to walk through the full process of writing a requirements analysis specification, a database design specification, and a program design specification. The book comes with extensive companion teaching videos for learning by doing.

Editor's review

这是一本从PHP语法讲到项目交付的流程，内容相当完整。它不满足于只教“echo 怎么用”，而是先从LAMP架构、HTTP协议、HTML/CSS讲起，让读者明白一行PHP代码在浏览器与服务器之间到底走过了哪一段路。对零基础读者最友好的是它的组织方式：6大部分、32章基本按“入门—语法—常用模块—数据库—高级—项目”的顺序推进，每章相对独立，可以照着自己的薄弱环节回查补漏；每章后面配有自测试题，适合检验自己是否真的会写，而不是“看着都会、合上书就废”。书中后半部分的价值更明显：PDO、Smarty、MVC与BroPHP 2.0这一串内容，基本对应2010年代中期国内中小型Web项目的主流技术栈；最后的BroShop电商项目以需求分析、数据库设计、程序设计三份说明书串起来，能让初学者第一次看到真实的开发流程长什么样。需要提醒的是，本书主体基于PHP 5.4，许多写法与今天主流的PHP 8.x 已有差距（例如PDO之外的mysql_*扩展已废弃、框架思想也有所演进），更适合当作打基础的教材，而不是查最新API的手册。配套光盘与教学视频是它的加分项，但对只拿到PDF的读者来说，重点仍应放在动手复现代码上。

Who it's for

A good fit for

零基础、想系统入门PHP与Web开发的自学者
正在参加IT培训或计算机相关专业、需要配套教材的学生
已会HTML/CSS，想补齐服务器端与数据库能力的初级前端
需要从语法一路练到小项目完整流程的转行学习者

Not a good fit for

只想查PHP 8.x最新语法与API速查的资深开发者
希望学习Laravel、Symfony等现代框架的读者
只做前端、不打算接触数据库与服务端的人

Reading tips

按书的结构顺序推进，先跑通环境再学语法，不要跳着看第11章面向对象
每章示例代码亲手敲一遍并故意改错报错，比只看PDF效果好得多
学完PDO与MVC部分后，把BroShop项目里的表结构和流程在自己的小项目里复现
遇到PHP 5.4写法与新版PHP不兼容时，以官方手册为准做对照笔记，不必死守书中写法

FAQ

这本书和《细说PHP》是什么关系？

《跟兄弟连学PHP》是《细说PHP（第2版）》的全新升级版，也被视为《细说PHP》的第三版，主体内容框架沿用，但重新录制了覆盖面较广的配套教学视频，并更新了部分示例与项目。

零基础可以直接读这本吗？

可以。第一部分从Web概念、HTML/CSS和LAMP架构讲起，门槛较低；但全书篇幅近900页、约159万字，需要预留持续数月的学习时间，建议边读边动手。

书里的PHP版本比较老，还有用吗？

书中主体基于PHP 5.4，部分写法（如旧的MySQL扩展、老式框架用法）在PHP 8.x下已不推荐使用。语法基础、数组与函数、面向对象、PDO、MVC思想仍然成立，可作为地基，细节以官方手册为准。

没有配套光盘还能学吗？

可以。书中示例代码与自测试题是核心，视频只是辅助；没有光盘时建议自己搭建环境复现代码，遇到关键概念再补充搜索讲解视频。
