What will I learn?
You will learn how PHP works on the server and how to set up a local development environment from scratch. You will master variables, data types, control flow, and functions before moving into string and array manipulation. You will build HTML forms that collect and validate user input securely. You will connect PHP to a relational database using PDO and perform SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations with prepared statements. You will manage user state with sessions and cookies and apply essential security practices including password hashing and SQL injection prevention.
