This course introduces PHP and MySQL, two fundamental technologies for server-side web development. It highlights PHP as a scripting language that is adept at creating dynamic content for web pages, and MySQL as a reliable and scalable relational database management system. The focus is on PHP's syntax and how it integrates with MySQL to perform database operations, such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting data. Participants learn to harness PHP's server-side capabilities to handle form submissions, manage sessions, and build CRUD applications, while also gaining proficiency in designing and querying MySQL databases to store and retrieve web application data efficiently. The course lays the groundwork for developing data-driven websites and applications using PHP and MySQL.
