PHP Programming

The PHP Programming course is designed to give delegates the knowledge to develop/maintain PHP scripts.

Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.

The delegate will learn and acquire skills as follows:

• Declare variables and initialise them
• Read/write text and binary files
• Construct expressions with arithmetic, logical and relational operators
• Use built-in library functions
• Use indexed and associative arrays
• Use conditional statements
• Use iterative type statements
• Use and code functions
• Create and use external PHP Code
• Manipulate text using regular expression
• Define and use classes and objects

Programmers who need to write or maintain scripts in PHP.

Knowledge of PHP to write, maintain and understand PHP scripts.

Delegates attending this course should have some previous programming experience and be able to define general programming concepts including: compilation, execution, variables, arrays, sequence, selection, iteration, functions, objects, and classes. Moreover delegates should be able to navigate the filesystem (on the command line ideally), edit and save text files and browse the web. This knowledge can be obtained by attendance on the pre-requisite Introduction to Programming course.
