PHP From Scratch | Beginner To Advanced

Brad Traversy separates language modules from a larger job-listing project. The roughly eighteen-hour route builds a custom application without starting from a framework, then introduces routing and other conventions a Laravel learner will later encounter. It offers a project-focused bridge from PHP basics to application structure.

What you will learn

• Use PHP data structures, functions and objects.
• Organize code through namespaces and autoloading.
• Build routes and session-based authentication for a project.

Who this suits

Learners who know basic HTML and want a longer PHP course with a substantial application.

Before you enroll

HTML basics are the stated prerequisite. Test your application’s validation and authorization separately; reproducing a project does not establish that it is ready for deployment.

Udemy offers paid enrollment; purchase and subscription availability can vary. Check the previews, curriculum and checkout terms. Its completion certificate is not an accredited qualification.

Put it into practice

Add a saved-job feature to a fictional listing application. Test which user owns each saved record and what happens when an invalid identifier is submitted.
