Elstree Film Studios - Training Courses - An Introduction to PHP & MySQL Programming









PHP is a powerful server-side scripting language for creating dynamic and interactive websites. PHP is the widely-used, free, and efficient alternative to competitors such as Microsoft's ASP. PHP is perfectly suited for Web development and can be embedded directly into the HTML code. This course gives you an excellent grounding in how to harness the power of PHP and mySQL for web sites and database development applications.

Duration: 1 day.

Location: 21st Century New Media (Production Offices), Elstree Film Studios, Shenley Road, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire WD6 1JG. [MAP]

Prerequisites: This course is for developers and designers wishing to add dynamic elements and PHP integration to their web projects. This would also be suited to those wishing to develop small web based applications and content management systems. It is expected that candidates have some prior knowledge of HTML forms and ideally some prior simple programming experience.

Course nature: The aim of the course is to introduce practical examples at the earliest opportunity and to build on these examples as PHP features and concepts are introduced. Wherever possible, these examples will be put in context of real world usage.
