Udemy - Be Master of PHP with MySQL

Learn the basics of PHP (including variables, logical expressions, loops, and functions).

Welcome to PHP MySQL Course. My name is Kevin Skoglund. In this course, we'll review the basic PHP data types, and learn to use PHP's control structures, like logical expressions and loops, in order to control how our code executes. We'll cover many of PHP's built in functions, we'll also learn to define our own custom functions. We'll cover the basics of SQL and learn how to use PHP to connect to a MySQL database, which will allow us to create, read, update, and delete records.

PHP is a popular, reliable programming language at the foundation of many smart, data-driven websites. This comprehensive course from Kevin Skoglund helps developers learn the basics of PHP (including variables, logical expressions, loops, and functions), understand how to connect PHP to a MySQL database, and gain experience developing a complete web application with site navigation, form validation, and a password-protected admin area. Kevin also covers the basic CRUD routines for updating a database, debugging techniques, and usable user interfaces. Along the way, he provides practical advice, offers examples of best practices, and demonstrates refactoring techniques to improve existing code.

We'll learn the fundamentals of user authentication, that is the process of requiring a username and password to log into a PHP application. And finally we'll build a complete PHP web application from start to finish. A content management system that will allow admins to log in and manage the website content that gets displayed to the public. I'm excited and I hope you are too. So lets get started learning PHP.
