Course Description

Welcome to PHP, PDO and MySQL for Beginners!
This course is intended for those who wish to develop their understanding and skills in PHP and MySQL in order to develop data driven websites.
Every line of code is explained as I teach. The lessons are kept short and to the point.

STUDENT REVIEW: "Patrick is an excellent, thorough and easy to understand teacher. I bought this course as soon as it was available because I was so impressed with his first course. Thank you Patrick!" 5 STARS
STUDENT REVIEW: "I learned a lot in this "close to real live" education. It was very helpful to get into connection with some important things close to PHP. By taking a look at bootstrap, emmet, SQL and little bit of CSS and other things was very helpful to get an overview of the most important tools and languages around PHP. I really love to listen to and learn from Patrick. He is giving very good and easy to understand comprehensive explanations, he is setting tasks that are a challenge but feasible and he is showing the solutions. By listening to all that and writing the code myself in the tasks I really learned a lot. Great Stuff !" 5 STARS
STUDENT REVIEW: "An amazing course. Very good for beginners." 5 STARS

The unique difference about my courses is that you are given exercises to complete after each section. This enables you to try what you have learnt with my full support. Students who have taken this course appreciate the level of clear explanation and strengthening of their skills.
The course has been developed following years of teaching students in a real classroom environment and watching and analysing their reactions to new concepts. Therefore, each lesson has been designed to quickly help you understand the processes involved in connecting to and actively using databases within websites.
At the end of the course you will be able to:
  • create a database using phpMyAdmin
  • use a SQL dump to create a MySQL database table and populate it
  • use a CSV file to populate a MySQL database table
  • change database user permissions using phpMyAdmin
  • connect to a MySQL database using a PDO connection
  • understand the acronym CRUD
  • create, read, update and delete records using phpMyAdmin
  • create, read, update and delete records using PHP
  • create an input form using HTML
  • create, read, update and delete records by using a HTML form and PHP
  • use Bootstrap to style the input form
  • use Font Awesome to add some icons for edit and delete actions
  • present database table records in a table and style it using Bootstrap
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully
You are free to use ANY development environment including the one that you are already using (if any). Otherwise, I highly recommend using CodeAnywhere to write your PHP code. However, please note that CodeAnywhere is a PAID option. Again, please note that using it is OPTIONAL.
If you have never coded PHP before then you may not be aware that the code needs to be run by the server engine prior to being displayed on your browser as HTML. You therefore need to set up your server environment correctly. If you do not have experience of setting up a server environment then simply use CodeAnywhere.
Due to the huge number of possible platforms and editors I cannot offer support for third party development environments. However, I will happily support you if using CodeAnywhere as it is the editor I use throughout this course.
There are many additional benefits of using CodeAnywhere including:
  1. there is a free 7 day trial if you would like to test the environment. If you do like it then you can get the paid version for only $3 per month (or $1.50 with 50% off voucher code). Otherwise feel free to use any alternative PHP development environment.
  2. it is cloud based so you can use any computer to login
  3. if you are having any issues with code during the course you can share your code easily with me
  4. if you need additional help with your server then I can log in and help (provided you are willing to allow me)
  5. if you wish to upgrade CodeAnywhere to a professional account later then you can (otherwise just use the free version)
If you experience any issues with setting up your PHP for Beginners coding environment on CodeAnywhere then please let me know via a private message and I will happily help you out.

MY PROMISES TO YOU
As a registered teacher (yes, I teach in a real classroom every day) I strongly believe it is my job to ensure you feel totally supported when taking my classes. I therefore promise the following:
  • to respect you as a student and individual with your own learning needs
  • to be courteous and polite in our interactions
  • to answer your questions promptly
  • to fix any issues you may encounter with the lessons
  • to respond promptly to feedback
I really do look forward to welcoming you to this course. I am confident you will enjoy the approach of learning what each line of code actually means.

Extremely clear and logical.

By Patrice Laperriere

Both courses are very good!

By Geoffrey Duncan Opiyo

An amazing course. Very good for beginners.

By Jan Vermulm

Very good for beginners.

By Kristen Truyol

My second php course with this instructor. It was shorter than the first, but still quite useful and in-depth. He goes at a perfect pace, and does just enough to make us push ourselves.

By Virginija Sniukstiene

Just perfect to gain desired knowledge on PHP. Thank you very much.

By Jason Tracy

Overall the instructor was clear and it was easy to follow along. There were some simple exercises to try on your own which was nice. Ultimately it was way to basic and not enough coverage of php. Good for an absolute beginner with no background in coding but lacking anything of value for intermediate and above.

By Martin Coulstock

The tutor explains topics very well, Hopefully, he will make more courses on PHP. Maybe more advanced security issues for PHP.

By Joshua Stewart

maybe a good match. I've finished a web applications course at Humboldt State University using PHP, HTML5, Javascript, and Oracle database management systems....

Now, I've moved all of my files over from the Oracle dbms to PHPMyadmin and want to learn how to connect my original databases up to MYSQL via this course and query the databases using buttons for the front end and improve my full stack skills
