Course Overview
Become a Backend Developer. Master PHP, MySQL, PDO, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), and build a secure CMS.
PHP powers nearly 80% of the web. It is the engine behind WordPress, Facebook, and Wikipedia.
If you want to build dynamic, data-driven websites, you must learn PHP and MySQL. HTML and CSS are just the paint; PHP is the machinery that makes the web work.
Welcome to The Ultimate PHP & MySQL Developer Course. This course is designed to take you from a complete beginner to a capable Backend Developer. We don't just teach you syntax; we teach you how to build secure, robust applications that can handle real users.
Why learn PHP? It is the most popular server-side language in the world. Learning PHP is the fastest way to get hired as a freelancer or full-time developer because the demand for maintaining and building PHP apps is massive.
What will you build? We believe in learning by doing. Throughout this course, you will build a Content Management System (CMS) from scratch. This isn't a toy project; it will include:
Secure Login/Registration Systems: Learn to hash passwords and manage sessions.
CRUD Operations: Create, Read, Update, and Delete data from a database.
Admin Panels: Build restricted areas for administrators to manage content.
What will you master?
1. The Fundamentals
Understand variables, loops, arrays, and functions.
Master the Request/Response cycle (GET vs. POST requests).
2. The Database (MySQL)
Learn to design Relational Databases.
Write SQL queries to insert, select, and filter data.
Visual Learning: We will sketch out Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) so you understand how tables link together.
3. Security Essentials
The web is full of threats. You will learn to prevent SQL Injection and XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks.
Learn best practices for password encryption and data sanitization.
4. Advanced Techniques
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Move beyond procedural code and write clean, reusable classes.
PDO (PHP Data Objects): Learn the modern, secure way to connect PHP to databases.
Who is this course for?
Front-End Developers who want to become Full-Stack engineers.
WordPress Users who want to understand the code behind their themes and plugins.
Entrepreneurs who want to build their own startup ideas without hiring expensive dev teams.

The course is too short and is only meant for people with some programming experience. There should be some introduction to basic programming concepts like variables, data types, decision making etc., as well as some introduction about php language itself.

This was a great beginner course to PHP. I loved how the instructor jumped right into a real-world project. The course was easy to follow but hard to understand due to some advanced concepts, but the instructor does a good job explaining before the lecture on what is going to happen. My favorite thing about this course is the ability to create a Full-Stack form that includes php, hmtl, and mysql. You will be able to see you things work on the back-end really well!

Good basic intro to php language. I wouldn't call it the "Ultimate" PHP with MySQL course but it's a good introduction and when you are done you'll have a good foundation from which to build from. I found the pace was much better when setting video playback speed to 1.25X or even 1.5X. Otherwise the speed and tone of the instructors voice was too aggravating. There are a few errors in the code which you'll catch if you follow along step by step. Troubleshooting the error can be frustrating but you can compare with the source code provided. Overall a decent intro course.
