ABOUT THIS COURSE
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.
