Course Description
This beginner‑friendly PHP crash course is designed for anyone who wants to dive into Back‑End web development quickly and effectively. You start with the fundamentals — echo statements, comments, variables and control structures — then gradually move to intermediate and advanced features such as superglobals, working with forms, and handling dates and times.
The highlight of the course is a practical To‑Do List application built with PHP and MySQL. Step by step, you will learn how to analyze requirements, structure your code, connect to a database using PDO, and implement create, read, update and delete (CRUD) operations. This real project helps you connect theory with practice and develop a problem‑solving mindset.
By the end of the course, you will be able to set up a PHP environment, build simple data‑driven web apps, and approach new PHP challenges with confidence. You will also gain a clear understanding of how PHP, MySQL and PDO work together behind the scenes of modern websites.
