PHP Basics

Description

PHP is the leading server-side language for creating dynamic websites, and while it’s not particularly complex, it can feel daunting for nonprogrammers. This beginner-friendly workshop is designed to demystify PHP through a series of clear, concise, and easy-to-follow lessons. Starting with an overview of what PHP is and how it works with HTML, the course introduces key language features, including variables, conditional statements, calculations, loops, and functions, along with server-side includes and error handling, through hands-on exercises.
The course then progresses to a practical project, building a script to validate and email user input from an online form. By participating, you’ll learn the benefits of reusable code, the importance of PHP security, and how to manage multiple-choice form fields.
