An Introduction to Programming in PHP: Stomping Zombies with Variables, Loops, Functions and More: Undead Institute, #14
By John Rhea
()
About this ebook
Start taking down the zombie horde with rapid fire web development programs. This book introduces you to PHP and a wide variety of beginner programming topics like variables, conditional statements, loops and functions.
You'll understand the different types of variables available to you and how to create and utilize them for maximum damage to the undead.
We'll discuss conditional statements (if/then statements) and talk about how to execute different code depending on whether something is true or not such as "There's a zombie gnawing on your head!"
We'll loop-dee-loop around the horde as we define and demonstrate the three kinds of PHP loops.
And finally, using functions and reusable code, we'll land sucker punch after sucker punch after sucker punch on every zombie shuffling toward you.
While this book presents these concepts using PHP syntax and information, nearly all of the concepts are universal to programming languages everywhere.
So come along for a jaunt through the apocalypse and stock your armory with plenty of programming tools and PHP finery. Next stop ending the apocalypse!

Content Warning (for Silliness)
This book contains a large amount of information, zombies, silliness, and a sense of humor that some would call terrible
. If you’re looking for straight technical information or a cure to your insomnia, this is not the book for you.
If you’re looking for a book that’s accessible to those without technical training or inclination and/or don’t mind laughing a bit while you’re learning, this book is for you. We at the Undead Institute believe that getting braaains should be fun. Join us and let’s stop those smelly zombies once and for all! (No, seriously. Their breath is terrible.)
