Learn to build dynamic web applications with PHP and XHTML, from your first server-side script to forms that respond to user input. Designed for beginners and aspiring web developers, this course gives you a practical introduction to how PHP generates XHTML and controls application behavior.
You’ll configure and verify a local PHP environment, write scripts using variables, and generate multi-line XHTML output. You’ll then design XHTML forms, compare GET and POST methods, and process different types of input. Finally, you’ll use conditional statements, comparison and logical operators, switch statements, and loops to control how your scripts respond.
The course’s hands-on progression connects each concept to a working part of a server-side application. By the end, you’ll be able to create and process forms, analyze program flow, and develop PHP scripts that produce dynamic web content.

A few exercises could have had more explanation of why certain PHP functions are used — I had to look up extra documentation sometimes.
