Course Description
PHP is an object oriented general purpose language suitable for a wide variety of tasks. In this course, we'll learn how to use PHP as a server-side scripting language for use in web development.
The course consists of four units:
Unit 1: covers basic syntax, variables, and language features such as loops and decision constructs. We'll also learn how to download and install PHP as a part of the XAMPP distribution so it can be used in the context of a web server running on your local computer.
Unit 2: PHP's object oriented features will be learned, along with basic function syntax and scoping rules. We'll also talk about some useful string functions.
Unit 3: Associative arrays will be discussed in Unit 3. Arrays are the key to understanding the mechanism of sending and receiving data via the request mechanism in PHP. We'll learn how to work with data via REQUEST, GET, and POST, and we'll also cover some important server variables exposed by PHP.
Unit 4: teaches how to integrate MySQL databases with PHP. The concentration here is on the PHP communication with MySQL using the mysqli class in an object oriented style. If you need a refresher on the MySQL, Checkout out MySQL course.
I hope you enjoy the course, and I look forward to working with you!

Php basics explained in detail and with examples,that helps in understanding the program structure and flow.
By Mike Reno on 12/19/2016
He is knowledgeable about PHP (it was called Personal Home Page when it started) and knows how to dummy it down (talk to an adult as you would an 8 year old). There is no doubt he has years of experience at leading people. I am retired and taking advantage of this and his MYSql course as refreshers. There is a presumption that you have programmed in java or some other object oriented language.

It gives great step-by-step guidance into the code and also leaves enough time to create associations with other programming languages I might know.

great lecture for beginner, that would be better if there were some exercises.
By Rick Acosta on 11/30/2015
I really liked the discussions on the predefined variables as well as the MYSQL examples of connecting to a database and running a select and insert queries.
By Michael Specter on 11/30/2015
Helps beginners to get started with PHP, introduction to basics. Gets a little more complicated at the end without much explanation but its a pretty cool course for free.
By Javed Islam on 11/8/2015
very clearly explained. However, few more sessions on the database driven applications including data validation at the UI level could prepare someone for the job market.

Nice course, you get the basic of this topic. If I had a problem with my code, I watch carefully the stream again and find my bug. I recommend this.

Not exactly for beginners, more intermediate, but great!
By Hariharan Palani on 8/16/2015
This course is intended for beginners who dont have any idea about programming in any language. Good resource for start learning PHP.
