XHTML - Server Side Programming with PHP

EDUCBA introduces server-side PHP through environment setup and input handling. A separate section develops operators and control structures. The focused outline is useful when your immediate goal is connecting a web form to code before moving into databases or frameworks.

What you will learn

• Set up the server environment used by a PHP example.
• Read and process submitted form values.
• Apply operators and control flow to a server-side task.

Who this suits

Learners new to PHP; familiarity with basic web pages is helpful.

Before you enroll

The provider labels this intermediate despite requiring no previous PHP. The XHTML wording describes the course context, so check current HTML and server setup separately.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Tool subscriptions, model API usage and cloud services may cost extra.

Put it into practice

Write a small form-driven calculator. Test absent values and invalid numbers, and explain why a browser-side check alone cannot protect the handler.
