PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a cross-platform scripting language that is particularly well-suited for Web development. WestLake's Introduction to PHP will start by introducing students to the fundamentals of the PHP language and how to set PHP up on a server and continue through most of the common server-side functionality incorporated in modern Web sites. The course uses a MySQL database, and there is a demonstration of how to use PHP to work with other databases as well.

By the end of the class students will be able to:

  • Set up PHP and a MySQL database
  • Understand and write syntactically correct PHP
  • Create pages that respond to form submissions
  • Maintain state with cookies and sessions
  • Automatically generate emails
  • Read and write files on the server
  • Connect to a database
  • Search for and display records from a database
  • Insert, modify and delete records from a database through Web forms
  • Validate user input with regular expressions
  • Create modular, reusable code by writing user-defined functions
