PHP with MySQL - Procedural Part

Intro to PHP presents PHP as a server-side scripting language interpreted by the PHP interpreter, not compiled, and contrasts scripting with programming languages.

Identify and install the required tools before continuing, including the Brackets editor and a local server (localhost with Apache or gem) for PHP with MySQL procedural work.

Learn how to install and set up a PHP and MySQL development environment, run a local server, open localhost in a browser, and preview changes with live preview in Brackets.

Explore the concept of variables in PHP, learn how names map to memory addresses and values using the dollar sign syntax in a procedural PHP approach.

Explore how to declare and name variables in PHP using the dollar sign, assign values (integers, floats), and follow camel case for readable, meaningful names.

Print outputs on the computer screen and compare how text appears in programs, highlighting how programming languages and compilers handle printing and display for users.

Learn how to save files in a procedural PHP with MySQL workflow, ensuring files load correctly and display the expected output in the browser.

Learn about data types in programming, including scalar and compound types, with specific types like integers, floats, and strings. See how data values sit in variables and relate to assignments.

Explore strings in PHP, including how single-quoted and double-quoted literals behave. Learn best practices for valid string forms, multi-line text, and dynamic content.

Explore PHP string functions by defining simple examples, passing arguments to functions, and performing operations like reversing, repeating, and removing characters to manipulate strings.

Explore strings in PHP with a procedural approach, covering string literals, characters, and concatenation. Emphasize practice with hands-on, rewindable demonstrations to learn at your own pace.

Learn heredoc syntax and indexing in a PHP with MySQL procedural context, practice defining and matching identifiers, and observe how the code outputs appear at specific line references.

Master heredoc syntax in PHP with MySQL procedural code, emphasizing proper formatting, spacing, and readable color to avoid incorrect syntax.

This lecture introduces constants in PHP, showing how to define a constant, typical naming in lowercase, and how case sensitivity affects usage, including printing constant values.

Learn how to write PHP with MySQL procedural comments, including single-line and multi-line styles, to describe code for humans and support collaboration in teams.

Learn PHP procedural numeric functions, including round, ceiling, and floor operations, power calculations, and generating random values between two numbers, with practical output examples.

Explore assignment operators, arithmetic operations, and the remainder operator in a PHP procedural context, and learn about string operators and concatenation across memory-related examples.

Explore the conditional concept in procedural php by examining if statements and conditions through simple, relatable examples like money, birds, and learning to solve problems.

Explore procedural php conditional statements syntax, learn how if expressions evaluate true or false to run code blocks, and understand nested conditions and program flow.

Demonstrates conditional statements in PHP, explaining if-else logic, equality checks, and curly-brace blocks, with practical examples comparing days and names.

Master the and operator in PHP with MySQL procedural code by exploring booleans, true/false values, and how and conditions control program flow.

Explore how the or operator evaluates multiple conditions in PHP procedural code, returning true when any condition is true, and use variables to control program flow.

Explore how the NOT operator works as a logical operator in procedural PHP to negate true or false expressions with simple examples.

Explore the switch case construct in PHP procedural code to handle multiple conditionals, using break and a default case to control flow across day-based examples.

Learn how while loops repeat a block of statements while a condition holds in procedural PHP. See how incrementing with ++ and break control flow to produce output.

Explore the do while loop in php procedural programming: the loop executes its body at least once, then repeats while the condition is true, with printing inside the loop.

Explore how a for loop initializes a value, tests a condition, and increments to print numbers up to ten, demonstrating loop blocks and line breaks.
