About this course

In this project-based course you learn PHP by doing. You build one complete application, a Student Registration Management System, from a single line of PHP to a full CRUD application backed by MySQL.

Each hour is one part of the project. The notes work like a teacher beside you: every step tells you what to do, exactly what code to type, what you should see, why it works, and what to try yourself.

You will learn PHP syntax, variables, data types and operators, control structures and loops, functions and arrays, HTML forms, GET and POST, MySQL and phpMyAdmin, database connections, INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE, and sessions and cookies.

Each hour ends with a practice task and a short quiz. Finish the final quiz to earn a certificate that anyone can verify online by scanning its QR code. You need XAMPP (Apache, MySQL and phpMyAdmin) and a code editor such as VS Code; no prior PHP experience is required.
