Lesson Plan: PHP for Web Development beginners
Lesson 1: What is PHP?
PHP, which stands for "Hypertext Preprocessor," is a widely used open-source scripting
language that is primarily used for web development. It was created by Rasmus Lerdorf in the
mid-1990s
Lesson 2:Variables
Variables
Data types
Interger
Float
Boolean
String
Date
Null
Array
Object
Convert
Lesson 3: Mathematical and Conditional Statements
Mathematical Operations – (+ - * / %)
If and else statements and Comparison operators (==, !=, >, <,)
Logical operators (AND, OR, NOT)
Loops (for, while)
Break and continue statements
Function parameters and return values
Lesson 4: arrays and functions
Iterating arrays
Working with multidimensional arrays
Array manipulation and common array functions
Push - adds new items to the end of an array.
Pop - removes (pops) the last element of an array.
Shift - removes the first item of an array
Unshift - adds new elements to the beginning of an array.
Special Functions in array
For each - provides an easy way to iterate over arrays.
array_map() - Sends each value of an array to a user-made function, which
returns new values
array_filter() - Filters the values of an array using a callback function
array_splice() - changes the contents of an array by removing or replacing
existing elements and/or adding new elements in place
array_slice() - Returns selected parts of an array
arsort() - Sorts an associative array in descending order, according to the value
asort() - Sorts an associative array in ascending order, according to the value
Lesson 5: Objects
Manipulation of object properties
Lesson 6: MYSQL QUERIES
What is MYSQL?
-MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS)
that provides an efficient and reliable way to manage, store, and retrieve
structured data.
Setting up the mysql database
QUERIES
INSERT - INSERT INTO `employee`(`employee_id`, `firstname`, `middlename`,
`lastname`, `status`, `leaves`, `date_hired`) VALUES ('[value-1]','[value-
2]','[value-3]','[value-4]','[value-5]','[value-6]','[value-7]')
SELECT - SELECT * FROM `employee`
WHERE CLAUSE - SELECT * FROM `employee` WHERE employee_id = 1
LOGICAL OPERATORS (AND / OR NOT) - SELECT * FROM `employee`
WHERE firstname = ‘Allen’ AND lastname = ‘Young’
UPDATE - UPDATE `employee` SET `employee_id`='[value-
1]',`firstname`='[value-2]',`middlename`='[value-3]',`lastname`='[value-
4]',`status`='[value-5]',`leaves`='[value-6]',`date_hired`='[value-7]' WHERE 1
DELETE - DELETE FROM `employee` WHERE 0
Order by - SELECT * FROM `employee` ORDER BY firstname ASC / DESC
Distinct - SELECT DISTINCT status FROM employee
SUM - SELECT status,SUM(leaves) FROM employee GROUP BY status
Max - SELECT max(leaves) FROM `employee`
Min - SELECT min(leaves) FROM `employee`
Concat - SELECT CONCAT(firstname,' ',lastname) FROM employee
Alias - SELECT CONCAT(firstname,' ',lastname) as thecombine FROM
employee
group by - SELECT status FROM `employee` GROUP BY status
THE INNER JOIN
SELECT CONCAT(employee.firstname,' ',employee.lastname), salary.salary
FROM employee INNER JOIN salary ON employee.employee_id =
salary.employee_id;
Application of MYSQL Queries to PHP
Prepared statements (avoiding sql injection)
Lesson: 7 Javascript to PHP
Receiving an ajax request and saving a database
Retrieving data from database using ajax request
Lesson 8: Sessions
What are sessions
How to use sessions
Lesson 9: File handling
How users could upload file
How users could retrieve the uploaded file
The final Output: LEAVE FILING SYSTEM
