Hi friends,
Welcome to the definitive guide to php course.
PHP is a fantastic language, and, in this course, I want to show you how to get started by creating a working, production ready contact form.
I will take a very practical approach by building out the contact form from scratch, but at the same time implement some complex concepts like variables, loops and storing the data in a MySQL database and then using that information to create an email which will then send off the information through a mail server to my inbox.
This course is ideal if you wanted to get into programming but got stuck along the way. Either because every time you work through a tutorial you fail to see how it fits together in the bigger scheme, or because you just never got to understand how you would apply variables and loops in the real world.
That is the aim, I want to show you how this all translates back to the real world and hopefully spark that aha moment in your journey.
All the video courses are accompanied by in-depth articles on this website where the full source code is available with additional commentary.
Without further ado, lets get coding!

There are plenty of web hosting providers out there, and it may seem difficult to decipher the good from the bad. So I have put together a guide on how to find the right web hosting provider for your business and my personal recommendation of who to use depending on where you are in the world. Teaming up with the right web hosting service is more important than you think. It’s a partnership. Opt for the wrong one and you could find yourself struggling to get support, suffering downtime, or worse.

Using a VPN is a great first step toward protecting your privacy online.
