So, what libraries would you typically use for most of your projects?
I am a total newbie at this. Having developed a couple of websites, and a web-app in plain PHP+SQL, I just learned that "frameworks" exist - literally days ago. Started reading on the topic I arrived here - and I am relieved. I don't have to learn all this stuff!
However, I have not yet used any library as well - what would be a good resource to learn about them? Specifically for PHP?
First up - I am not a PHP developer, I know very little about PHP.
But.
Well done! You've built an app, with a database, and you didn't need a framework. Kudos!
However, I think you're already using what I'd call a 'library': the PHP extensions that are used to access the database are just like libraries - bits of code that aren't used as standard, but can be easily brought in. It sounds like they work just like what I'd think of as a 'standard library' in another language.
So that's one hurdle! I guess the next one will be to get hold of 'external libraries' - from what (very little) I've read, I think that Composer might be a good place to start.
Good luck!
