Build a PHP and MySQL based user registration and login system, including registration form handling, password hashing, and login validation to securely store and verify user credentials.
Learn how PHP hashes passwords with password_hash and verifies them with password_verify to secure user data and authenticate logins using salted hashes.
Master PHP sessions by using session_start to store user data in $_SESSION on the server, access it across pages, and destroy the session at logout.
Protect pages with login authentication in php by starting a session, validating posted username and password against hard-coded credentials, and redirecting to coding.php on success or showing an error.
Learn to encode PHP arrays to JSON and decode JSON back to PHP using json_encode and json_decode, returning associative arrays when you pass true, enabling web data exchange.
Learn how to use PHP with APIs to fetch public API data and send post requests with cURL, decoding JSON responses.

Explore how PHP connects to MySQL databases using a local server, localhost and root credentials, to establish a successful connection for dynamic web apps like login systems.
Learn to execute sql queries in php using mysql, create a student table with id, name, email, and age, and insert a new record with a successful output.
Fetch and display data from a MySQL database using PHP, covering database setup, table creation, data insertion, and a select query to show results in a browser.
Explore detecting, debugging, and fixing php errors—from syntax errors to notices—using error reporting and try-catch to build secure, user-friendly back-end applications.
Learn to insert data into a mysqli database using php by setting up a database and employees table in phpmyadmin, then connecting and executing an insert query.
Fetch and display data dynamically from a MySQL database with PHP by retrieving all records from the student table and showing id, name, email, and course on a web page.
Learn to update existing records in a mysql database with php and sql, using an employee table and an update query to change the department.
Delete records securely from a MySQL database using PHP by performing a delete operation with a where clause and prepared statements to prevent vulnerabilities.
PHP is one of the most widely-used server-side programming languages for web development. From building dynamic websites to developing complex web applications, PHP powers millions of websites worldwide. This course, PHP - Master PHP for Back End Web Development with MySQL, is designed to take you from a complete beginner to a confident back-end developer capable of building full-featured web applications.
In this course, you’ll start by learning the fundamentals of PHP programming. We cover variables, data types, operators, conditional statements, and loops, giving you the essential foundation to write functional PHP scripts. Every concept is explained in a practical, easy-to-follow way so you can start building dynamic web pages immediately.
Next, we move on to functions, arrays, and built-in PHP functions. You’ll learn how to organize your code efficiently, create reusable functions, and manipulate data using arrays and other PHP structures. These concepts are crucial for writing clean, maintainable, and scalable back-end code.
Once you have the basics down, we dive into form handling, sessions, and cookies. You’ll learn how to collect data from users, maintain session information, and manage user authentication, which are essential skills for building real-world web applications.
A major focus of the course is working with MySQL databases. You’ll learn how to connect PHP to MySQL, create and manage databases, perform CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete), and write efficient SQL queries. Integrating PHP with MySQL allows you to build fully functional, data-driven web applications.
By the end of this course, you’ll have mastered PHP for back-end web development with MySQL, with the ability to build complete, secure, and dynamic web applications.
