About the course

Do you want to learn PHP fast but are overwhelmed by all the information you find online? Or perhaps you have completed numerous PHP tutorials but are still unsure how everything works together.

This book is for you.

You no longer have to waste your time and money learning PHP from lengthy books, expensive online courses or fragmented PHP tutorials. This book covers all the major topics in PHP and is written in a concise and to the point manner. In addition, you'll be guided through a project at the end of the book where you get to apply the concepts learned and see how it all ties together.

The best way to learn programming is by doing. This book includes a complete project at the end of the book where you get to build a mini-blog using PHP and MySQL.

Working through the project gives you a chance to see how everything works together, including how to set up your servers, create a database, connect to it, process forms, manage security issues, handle errors and exceptions and more. Completing the project will not only give you an immense sense of achievement, it'll also help you retain the knowledge you've learned and master the language.

Are you ready to dip your toes into the exciting world of PHP coding? This book is for you.

Note that this book requires basic knowledge of HTML and SQL.
