Introduction to PHP Course Overview

The Introduction to PHP course is a comprehensive program designed for learners who want to gain expertise in PHP, a widely-used scripting language for creating dynamic web pages. It starts with Module 1: PHP Basics, where students will understand how PHP works, configure the php.ini file, learn basic syntax, work with variables, and write their first script. As they progress, they'll delve into flow control, understanding conditional processing and loops to manage the execution flow of scripts.

In Module 3, attendees will explore arrays and their manipulation, a crucial aspect of handling data sets in PHP. Module 4 focuses on integrating PHP with HTML forms for user input processing, while Module 5 dives into string manipulation to format and modify text data.

Reusing code and writing functions are addressed in Module 6, teaching how to create efficient and maintainable code. Module 7 is about managing data with MySQLi, and Module 8 presents MDB2 for database abstraction. Authentication, regular expressions, session control and cookies, sending email with PHP, and file system management are covered in subsequent modules, equipping learners with the skills to build secure, robust, and feature-rich web applications.
