Unconventional PHP (Talk)
This is an old post!

You might think you know PHP, but if you dig below the surface you might find it can do more than you knew. Beyond the documented features, there lies a world of tricks, hacks and other techniques that can allow PHP to go a step further.
In this talk we’ll look outside the box at some things PHP provides like references, autoloading and magic methods and explore how using them in an unconventional way can benefit our own code.
I recently gave this talk at the PHPSW meetup in August.
