In this video training title from Doug Bierer, you will learn the fundamentals of PHP and MySQL. These two platforms have been virtually inseparable for many years, and major groundbreaking websites such as WordPress, Wikipedia, and Facebook use PHP and MySQL technologies.This computer software training is designed for the beginner; no previous programming or database experience is required. Your training begins with the absolute basics, covering topics such as creating variables, working with data types and outputting them to a webpage. You will learn how to work with arrays, how to use loops and control structures such as foreach, while and if. You will learn about functions and creating classes for object-oriented programming. You will master interacting with MySQL and using SQL functions to store and retrieve data. Doug also provides in-depth lessons on how PHP and MySQL can be used to send email, work with date and time functions, use cookies and sessions, building web forms, and much more.Throughout this training course you will complete labs that re-enforce the concepts you have learnt. Once you have completed this video tutorial you will be well versed in the fundamentals of creating web applications using PHP and MySQL. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
