This course is intended for beginning Web developers who have knowledge of the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Dynamic HTML (DHTML) and CSS along with some knowledge of a scripting language, such as Java Script. This course is also appropriate for persons with experience in other web technologies such as ASP.Net and Java.
PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. This course follows a step-by-step introduction to the topics concerning programming in PHP and using the MySQL database.
Topics include introduction to Web development and PHP, working with data types and operators, building functions and control structures, manipulating strings, accessing files and directories, manipulating data in arrays and strings, working with databases and MySQL, manipulating MySQL databases with PHP, managing state information, developing object-oriented PHP, and debugging and error handling.
Since PHP runs on the Apache Server, it works on both Windows and then Linux operating systems and is extremely portable. Both PHP and MySQL are Open Source and operate under the GNU license, which means they are free to use and distribute for public or commercial websites.
