PHP & MySQL
Server-side web development with PHP 8 and MySQL — forms, sessions, CRUD and dynamic, database-driven sites.
A large share of the web still runs on PHP, and it's one of the fastest ways to go from "I know some code" to "I built a working, database-driven website." This hub teaches PHP the modern, secure way.
Work through what PHP is (PHP 8), syntax & basics, variables, control flow, arrays, functions and strings. Then the web essentials — OOP in PHP, handling forms, sessions & cookies — and the part that ties it together, PHP + MySQL CRUD.
We teach current PHP 8.4 and connect to MySQL using PDO/MySQLi with prepared statements — safe, modern, and injection-resistant — never the long-removed mysql_* functions that outdated tutorials still show.
