What is dependency injection in PHP?

Mid PHP
Quick Answer Dependency Injection means passing dependencies into a class instead of creating them inside. Constructor injection is most common. DI makes code testable (swap real deps with mocks), reduces coupling, and makes dependencies explicit. Frameworks like Laravel use DI containers to auto-resolve dependencies. Without DI, code is hard to test and tightly coupled to specific implementations.

Answer

Dependency injection provides dependencies from outside the class. It improves testability and decoupling. Frameworks like Laravel use DI containers.
