WPI Curriculum Module: PHP
PHP is a versatile and widely-used programming language that powers millions of websites. This module provides a comprehensive introduction to PHP, covering fundamental concepts such as variables, data types, control flow, and functions. You will learn how to create dynamic web pages, interact with databases, and build robust web applications.
By mastering PHP, you will be able to develop a wide range of web applications, from simple websites to complex web platforms. You will gain hands-on experience with object-oriented programming in PHP, including classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism.
The module will also explore database interactions, specifically using PHP to connect to MySQL databases. You will learn how to perform CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) on databases, ensuring that their web applications can store and retrieve data effectively. By the end of this module, you will have a solid foundation in PHP programming and be well-prepared to build dynamic and interactive web applications.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Master PHP fundamentals:Â You will gain a strong understanding of PHP syntax, control flow, functions, and object-oriented programming.
Build dynamic web applications:Â You will be able to create interactive web applications using PHP, including handling user input, processing forms, and working with databases.
Interact with databases:Â You will learn how to connect to databases using PHP, perform CRUD operations, and optimize database queries.
Apply best practices:Â You will understand and apply best practices for writing clean, efficient, and secure PHP code.
The module PHPconsists of the following classes:
PHP is the foundation of dynamic web development. In this class, you will learn PHP programming fundamentals and build dynamic web applications with features like calculators, evaluation forms, and guest books. You will also master concepts such as persistent data, file management, project structuring, and sessions. You will gain practical experience through exercises and projects using PHP 8.
Software developers are expected to be able to program cleanly, efficiently and above all object-oriented in order to deliver professional results. This class teaches object-oriented programming with PHP, including classes, objects, virtual attributes, namespaces, MVC, and Composer. This provides you with a solid foundation of knowledge for starting a career as a PHP and Laravel programmer.
A primary focus of this course is on the connection between PHP and MySQL. This section dives into connecting PHP with MySQL databases to create dynamic web applications, allowing for data storage and retrieval. By the end of this class, you will be equipped to create dynamic web applications that can handle complex data interactions.
