Overview of this book

Design patterns are a clever way to solve common architectural issues that arise during software development. With an increase in demand for enhanced programming techniques and the versatile nature of PHP, a deep understanding of PHP design patterns is critical to achieve efficiency while coding. This comprehensive guide will show you how to achieve better organization structure over your code through learning common methodologies to solve architectural problems. You’ll also learn about the new functionalities that PHP 7 has to offer. Starting with a brief introduction to design patterns, you quickly dive deep into the three main architectural patterns: Creational, Behavioral, and Structural popularly known as the Gang of Four patterns.

Auto-increment database IDs


Database auto-increment is something I find incredibly frustrating; pretty much every PHP/MySQL beginner tutorial teaches people to do this, but you really shouldn't.

I have got experience trying to shard auto-increment database IDs, and it's messy. Let's suppose you shard the database so the dataset over two database servers...how on earth can you expect someone to scale auto-increment IDs?

MySQL now even features a UUID function, allowing you to generate good IDs with strong entropy, meaning it also features a higher theoretical limit than auto-increment triggers on tables with an int data type.

In order to use the UUID function, the database table should ideally be a CHAR(20).
