PHP Level One PHP MySQL Apache Adobe® Dreamweaver® 1 7 1 php1 Our PHP Level One class is for those of you who have created static web pages using HTML and now desire to use the features of PHP for creating dynamic websites. In our course, you will acquaint yourself with PHP by working with its common script elements, use the PHP script elements to create forms, address the stateless nature of HTTP by setting cookies and session variables in your scripts, and write the data entered in a form to a database. We begin class by introducing the PHP language: its use, its sytax and best practices. This is followed by more advanced PHP principles including using variables and arrays, writing functions, understanding and writing conditionals and ultimately object-oriented design principles. Students will build webe pages that access database records as well as edit and delete database records. In addition, students will create forms, email data and implement cookies.
