PHP is the language powering more than 80% of the web that uses server-side technology. If you want your website to interact with a database and have back-end functionality, then you need to know PHP.

On this two-day course, we’ll start by teaching you how to set up your server, and write your first line of PHP code.

Over two consecutive days, you’ll learn how to send and receive information to and from a database, and how to create secure, interactive website functionality. Through project-based learning you’ll gain hands-on experience working with variables, arrays, conditional statements, loops, functions, objects, error reporting and exceptions.

Our PHP & MySQL course is available at our training centre in The Shard, London. We also offer private training at a location of your choice across the UK.

What you'll learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Customize your web server and use it to run your PHP programs
  • Work with inbuilt PHP functionality to increase your workflow
  • Set up and use a secure link with a database to run MySQL queries
  • Work effectively with all the PHP variable types
  • Use conditional statements, loops, functions and objects to solve a range of problems
