PHP for the Web is a terrific introduction on how to use modern PHP effectively. While there is a lot of material out there about building applications with PHP, most of them focus on using a framework like Laravel or Symfony. By working with pure PHP, you will be able to focus on the core ideas instead of how a particular framework implements them.

In this course, you will learn how to use multiple web technologies like POST requests, forms, sessions, and redirects to build a CRUD application with an authentication system.

By the end, you will have all the ingredients at your disposal to go out and build stunning, dynamic PHP web applications.

## Never echo without any safety precautions
Using `echo` without any safety precautions is a dangerous thing to do.

Try this: Run the code below, and open the application in a new tab. In the number field, fill in `4" onclick="alert('Hellooooo')`.
Now submit the form.
Nothing looks off, and the number 4 still shows up in the form field.
Now, click on the number field.
Not a pleasant surprise!
