Course Overview
Super-practical PHP: cookies, sessions, login authentication, MySQL integration, Object Oriented PHP and lots more!
Super-practical PHP: Learn, by example, how to build a smart website with cookies, sessions, login authentication, MySQL integration, Object Oriented PHP and lots more!
Let's parse that.
- This course is super-practical: packed with knowledge you can put to use right away, while still giving you a good foundational understanding of web programming, not just PHP.
- Its about building smart websites: these days, its not OK for a website just to look snappy - login, cookies and sessions are considered necessities, not luxuries anymore
- In this course, we will learn by example. Each example is self-contained, has its source code attached, and gets across a specific PHP use-case. Each example is simple by itself, but they come together as building blocks to build complex use cases.
What's included in this course:
- Installing and setting up a basic web server with PHP
- Web security basics: validating and sanitizing user input data. Web forms, mitigating XSS and XSRF attacks
- MySQL Integration and Installation: Connecting to a database, running queries, processing results, prepared statements. Easy integration with MySQL so it's dead simple to work with databases for permanent data storage
- Cookies, Sessions and the differences between them, using sessions without cookies
- End to end login authentication
- Object oriented PHP, classes, inheritance, polymorphism
- GET, POST and other superglobals

Yes, the course is good but the topics must have to be updated as per the latest year 2024

The course explains all the essential concepts of PHP, including OOP. However, the videos tend to be too verbose and not straightforward. The featured code examples are well-explained, but the videos are about twice as long as they should be. From a course titled "Learn by example", I'd expect a larger focus on doing than theory. Also, every video ends with a jingle that is much louder than the instructor. Headphone users should anticipate that. All in all, this course is good for PHP newcomers, but if you already have at least intermediate PHP knowledge, you'll end up fast-forwarding or skipping some of the videos.
