Explore php array functions by dumping and printing arrays, then sort by value or key, and apply in_array, shuffle, array_unique, count, and array_replace.

Recreate alternating row colors in PHP by looping through values and applying an odd/even background color rule.

Apply a PHP snippet to generate a list with alternating background colors using a short loop, modulus logic, and inline styles to produce dynamic, color-changing rows.

Learn to name php functions correctly (start with a letter or underscore, not a number), pass arguments, and use global values, with loops and variables to reduce repetition.

Explore how to use php include and require to reuse headers and footers, set variables, and output content, and control single or multiple inclusions with include once and require once.

Learn how to create and manage php cookies by setting a name, value, and expiry time, then read and echo the cookie on subsequent visits.

Learn how PHP sessions store data on the server, start and manage session variables across pages, expire after inactivity, and securely destroy sessions to protect authentication state.
