Move beyond static pages and build data-driven web applications with PHP. Designed for learners with a basic understanding of HTML or XHTML, this course shows you how to organize, manage, and display data in server-side scripts. You’ll create and manipulate one-dimensional, associative, and multidimensional arrays, use iteration to work with their contents, and write reusable functions that return and manage data. Then you’ll read and write files, handle CSV data, navigate directories, and integrate PHP with MySQL. Finally, you’ll retrieve database content and present it dynamically in structured XHTML tables. The course brings PHP arrays and functions together with file handling and database integration through progressive lessons and hands-on demonstrations. Enroll to strengthen your PHP skills and learn to turn stored data into structured, dynamic web pages.

Syllabus

Working with Arrays and Functions in PHP
- This module introduces learners to the foundational data structures and function-handling capabilities in PHP. Through hands-on demonstrations and real-world examples, learners will explore how to create, manipulate, and display different types of arrays, as well as how to build reusable functions that improve the modularity and efficiency of PHP scripts. The module emphasizes both theoretical understanding and practical application to prepare learners for dynamic server-side programming tasks.
Handling Files and Databases with PHP
- This module introduces learners to the essential concepts and practices for managing files, directories, and database operations in PHP. Through structured demonstrations, learners will gain hands-on experience in reading from and writing to files—including CSV formats—navigating directories, and integrating PHP with MySQL databases. The module also focuses on presenting data dynamically using XHTML tables, enabling learners to develop data-driven web applications with structured output.
