Learn By Example: PHP For Dynamic Websites

Super-practical PHP: Learn, by example, how to build a smart website with cookies, sessions, login authentication, MySQL integration, Object Oriented PHP and lots more!

Let's parse that.

• This course is super-practical: packed with knowledge you can put to use right away, while still giving you a good foundational understanding of web programming, not just PHP.

• Its about building smart websites: these days, its not OK for a website just to look snappy - login, cookies and  sessions are considered necessities, not luxuries anymore

• In this course, we will learn by example. Each example is self-contained, has its source code attached, and gets across a specific PHP use-case. Each example is simple by itself, but they come together as building blocks to build complex use cases.

What's included in this course:

• Installing and setting up a basic web server with PHP

• Web security basics: validating and sanitizing user input data. Web forms, mitigating XSS and XSRF attacks

• MySQL Integration and Installation: Connecting to a database, running queries, processing results, prepared statements. Easy integration with MySQL so it's dead simple to work with databases for permanent data storage

• Cookies, Sessions and the differences between them, using sessions without cookies

• End to end login authentication

• Object oriented PHP, classes, inheritance, polymorphism

• GET, POST and other superglobals
