PHP and MySQL: Building Database-Driven Applications
About This Course
The course “PHP and MySQL: Building Database-Driven Applications” provides a comprehensive introduction to developing web applications that interact with a MySQL database using PHP as the server-side scripting language. In this course, you will learn how to build dynamic and database-driven websites, where data is stored, retrieved, and manipulated using PHP and MySQL.
The course starts by covering the fundamentals of PHP and MySQL, ensuring that you have a solid understanding of the core concepts and syntax. You will learn how to install and set up the necessary software stack, including PHP, MySQL, and a web server.
Once the basics are covered, the course progresses to more advanced topics. You will explore essential database concepts and learn how to design and create a MySQL database schema that aligns with your application’s requirements. You will learn how to perform common database operations, such as inserting, retrieving, updating, and deleting data, using SQL queries in PHP.
The course also dives into data validation and security, teaching you how to protect your application from common web vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. You will learn how to sanitize user input, validate data before storing it in the database, and implement secure authentication and authorization mechanisms.
Furthermore, the course covers practical topics such as handling file uploads, working with dates and times, and implementing pagination and search functionality in database-driven applications.
Throughout the course, you will work on hands-on projects and exercises that simulate real-world scenarios, enabling you to apply the concepts you have learned and gain practical experience in building database-driven PHP applications.
By the end of the course, you will have a solid understanding of how PHP and MySQL work together to build robust, scalable, and secure web applications. You will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to develop dynamic websites that interact with a MySQL database, allowing you to create powerful and feature-rich applications for various purposes.
