PHP is a popular, reliable programming language at the foundation of many smart, data-driven websites. This comprehensive course from Kevin Skoglund helps developers learn the basics of PHP (including variables, logical expressions, loops, and functions), understand how to connect PHP to a MySQL database, and gain experience developing a complete web application with site navigation, form validation, and a password-protected admin area. Kevin also covers the basic CRUD routines for updating a database, debugging techniques, and usable user interfaces. Along the way, he provides practical advice, offers examples of best practices, and demonstrates refactoring techniques to improve existing code.
This is not a long-winded theoretical blathering that you see all too often; instead, we actually start writing OO code very quickly. I believe that this 'hands-on' style of learning, makes understanding OO (object oriented) PHP much easier... and less boring too!
So before you begin, get out your favorite PHP code editor and be ready to write and run some object oriented PHP code.

IntroductionWith the release of php5 in 2004, php programmers finally had the power to code with the 'big boys'. Like Java and C#, php finally had a complete OOP infrastructure.
In this tutorial, you will be guided (step-by-step) through the process of building and working with objects using php's built-in OOP capabilities. At the same time you will learn:
With this in mind, we are going to slowly go over key OOP principles while creating our own PHP objects. With this knowledge, you will be able to explore OOP further.

In this tutorial, you will be guided (step-by-step) through the process of building and working with objects using php's built-in OOP capabilities. At the same time you will learn:
- The difference between building a php application the old fashioned (procedural) way, versus the OOP way.
- What the basic OOP principles are, and how to use them in PHP.
- When you would want to use OOP in your PHP scripts.
With this in mind, we are going to slowly go over key OOP principles while creating our own PHP objects. With this knowledge, you will be able to explore OOP further.
