Your first PHP application
Build a complete CLI weather application, combining all learned concepts into a practical project.
Let's put everything we've learned into practice by building a simple command-line weather application. This project will combine many concepts we've covered: Composer, classes, modern PHP features, and working with external APIs.
What We're Building
We'll create a CLI app that shows the current weather for any city. When finished, you can run it like this:
php weather.php Vienna
The project includes:
Using Composer for dependency management
Working with external packages
Creating and using classes
Making API requests
Modern PHP syntax
This simple app demonstrates how different PHP features work together in a real project. It's a perfect stepping stone before diving into Laravel.
