PHP and MySQL unlock the dynamic power of the web, allowing you to create pages that interact with customers, collect and display information from a database, send emails, and more.

This training introduces you to PHP and MySQL, giving you a fundamental understanding of those two building blocks of dynamic websites.

We’ll show you how to work with forms, sanitize user input for security, send emails, work with cookies to collect information on your users and upload files.

PHP is the web’s most popular server-side scripting language. Huge sites like Facebook, Wikipedia, Baidu, Tumblr and more run on it as it is fast, free, stable, and feature-rich.

PHP can help bring your website to life, changing it from a static HTML-only experience to a two-way interactive user experience. PHP is the backbone of many web related activities that we take for granted, such as handling form submissions, powering e-commerce transactions, and interacting with a database.

In addition many of the most popular CMS (Content Management Systems) such as WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla are written in PHP. Understanding this language will enable you to have a deeper understanding of these web tools making them easier to customize for your needs.
