Delivery Options Online
Learn the fundamentals of PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, how PHP functions in the Web's client-server relationship and how it relates to standard HTML. You gain an understanding of one of the most common uses for PHP: handling the data created by an HTML form. Other topics include writing PHP scripts, using PHP to manage data and creating Web applications with PHP. You also learn some of PHP's more advanced features and security issues.

Prerequisites:

This course is aimed at students who know the basics of HTML.  Familiarity with simple webpage design or JavaScript is also helpful, but not a requirement.

For technical requirements, you should have a hosted website with 10 MB of disk space, MySQL (v4.0 or above) and PHP (v4.0 or above). In general, most Web hosts offer workable sites. Free PHP Web-hosting options are also available.
