Setting up PHP and other basics
This chapter will cover switches, arrays, and loops in PHP. These are all ways of creating a flow to your code. This might seem more complicated, but it will actually make it much easier to understand.
In this chapter, you will learn what functions are and how to create and use them. You will also learn some very useful built in PHP functions dealing with strings.
You will learn how to start using PHP with HTML. If you know don't know HTML, please check out our course on HTML.
In this chapter you will learn how to use MySQL with PHP.
This chapter will cover Object Oriented Programming, OOP, in PHP. Object Oriented PHP was introduced in PHP 5.0 it allows the programmer to organize and structure code in a much more concrete manner.
You must complete all chapters before taking the course exam.
Functions allow you to create blocks of code that can be called multiple times within your code with out having to rewrite them. Functions are very useful for computing a mathematical formula.
In this concept, you will be learning some built in PHP functions centered around strings.
Turning strings into arrays and arrays into strings. This is exciting but sadly does not require pyrotechnics. These functions allow you to easily parse and create strings.
Here are the last string functions we will be covering.
Now that you have seen and used functions, see how you can create more advanced functions.
Take the chapter 3 test and unlock the PHP Functions badge.
