Not more than:

- follow clean code as much as you can, as you would with any other language

- do not rely blindly in the abstractions/magic many frameworks provide: try to understand what's under the hood

- avoid software that rely on annotations

- don't miss the chance to apply domain driven design in PHP. It's a language that allows you to beautifully model domains so don't miss the chance

- have fun, it's a great language to bring value quickly

- spend time setting up your CI policies

Thank You for the points.

As a complete noob please can you elaborate on the last point. Thanks again.

Sure, by CI I mean continuous integration, which is a huge topic but with a simple goal, which is to be able to safety introduce changes to a project by one or more developers. It's usually related with solid testing strategies, static code analysis and the software that puts both things together.

I understand now. I probably need to read further on it. Thanks.
