Course Description

Learn PHP and MySQL by Building a Real Project — the Smart, Simple Way

Hey there! If you've been trying to learn backend web development but find most tutorials confusing or filled with jargon — this course is for you.

This is a complete beginner-friendly PHP and MySQL course, focused on building one real, useful project: an Employee Management System.

You won’t just learn how PHP and MySQL work — you’ll use them together to build something meaningful, one step at a time.

--

Why This Course Is Different

Most PHP tutorials either throw you into object-oriented code too early or just give you syntax without showing how it all connects.

In this course, we take a functional programming approach that’s much easier for beginners. Everything is broken down clearly — no classes, no frameworks, just clean PHP logic, step-by-step.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Set up your local server and database using XAMPP or WAMP

  • Connect PHP to MySQL and run real SQL queries

  • Build the full CRUD flow (Create, Read, Update, Delete)

  • Add, update, and delete employee records through HTML forms

  • Sanitize user input and prevent common errors

  • Organize your PHP code into clean, reusable functions

  • Build a practical backend system without relying on CMS or frameworks

--

Learn by Doing — Build a Real PHP + MySQL Web App

By the end of this course, you'll have a fully working Employee Management System built with PHP and MySQL — and more importantly, you’ll understand how it works.

You’ll be able to:

  • Work confidently with databases and PHP

  • Build your own backend projects from scratch

  • Create dynamic, data-powered websites

  • Expand into advanced concepts like OOP, MVC, or full-stack dev — with a solid foundation in place

--

No need to learn everything at once.

Enroll now, and let’s build your first real backend project together — the smart way, the practical way.

Fatah Gabrial

Hello! I'm Fatah Gabrial, an enthusiastic web development instructor passionate about teaching practical skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, PHP and MySQL. With decades of experience in web design and development, I've built thousands of projects, including custom PHP scripts and WordPress themes used by various companies.

My journey into teaching began during the Covid-19 pandemic when traditional training institutes closed their doors. I transitioned to online platforms like many others, but I sought a more efficient way to share my knowledge. That's when I discovered Udemy, and I was inspired to create courses that could empower learners by teaching once and reaching many.

As a self-taught web designer and developer, I believe in a hands-on approach to learning. My teaching philosophy follows the 80/20 rule, where 80% of my courses focus on practical applications, while only 20% covers theory. This method ensures that my students gain the essential skills needed to excel in the ever-evolving world of web development.

I have learnt alot, Lectures are well explained, codes are written so clearly

By Panagiotis on 4/5/2022

First of all I have to tell you that I have previous knowledge of PHP and other programming languages in general. I have seen several hours of course and I am pretty disappointed from this course for various reasons. First of all the main goal of the course is not achieved: The instructor does not explain how PHP works and barely scratches the surface. There are even parts that he just skips forward and the code is already written. So If I was a completely new guy, I wouldn't understand what I understand with my exprerience. Regarding the SQL part do not expect to learn what is SQL and how it works. It's just a step by step guide to how connect to PHP. Nothing more nothing less. Also how the code works on PHP to form the connection is not well explained too. Also, there are lessons that require you to hava an HTML/CSS structure which is not provided as an attached file. Neither you get the change to write it with the instructor because it is already there and not always visible. On the Project there are flaw too. He uses Bootstrap (which is a CSS framework) but he never shows us how to add it to the code. So this, in combination with the fact that you don't get to write the HTML/CSS or get that file from the instructor, leaves you starring at the screen with files you don't have while the instructor begins the PHP part.

A lot of information packed into every video. Much pausing required to copy code and keep up!

By Sam Santiago on 6/24/2021

Not quite for beginners with the way there's a lot of missing information. It did help me at least understand a couple things and gave me the terminology to look for things online.

you are a amazing teacher i have also brought your front end web development course

By Michael Walden on 3/18/2021

Very good, clear and easy to understand, teacher goes at a nice pace not to easy or to hard. All works fine. 5 Stars to the teacher.

By Silent Tafadzwa Mucharira on 2/25/2021

super Great and well explained, giving out the fundamentals of PHP and MySQL.

By Bunny Masong on 1/11/2021

This course tackles PHP and MySQL in a very in-depth manner and is still friendly to beginners. All the essentials of PHP are laid out carefully and informatively. After completion of the course, I am able to get a lot of knowledge about the topic and integrating it with HTML and CSS and more importantly knowing how to manipulate the databse. This is such a good course! Highly recommended!

By Julieta Rocío Castillo Jaime on 9/24/2020

Muy bueno, quizás necesita dar más explicación circunstancial que ejemplificar que pueden saltarse cositas. Pero excelente.

By Pankaj on 9/10/2020

sir your teaching style is excellent. sir i think you should give projects to students so we can improve our practical knowledge. thank you sir.
