PHP for beginners

About Course

PHP powers more than 7 out of 10 websites — from WordPress to the largest platforms online. It is the ideal language to start server-side programming: free, available everywhere and remarkably approachable.

This course takes you from zero to your first dynamic pages. You will set up a local environment, write your first scripts, discover variables, conditions, loops, functions and arrays, then handle real forms with $_POST.

By the end, you will know how to include files to reuse your code, talk to a MySQL database and apply the essential security habits. A solid foundation for moving on to WordPress, Laravel or your own projects.
