PHP & MySQL — Dynamic Websites and Web Apps
Who it is for: people who know some HTML and want to build interactive, database-driven websites — or maintain the PHP sites that still run much of the web (WordPress, ISPConfig, countless business portals).
Covers the classic PHP tutorial path — syntax, variables, strings, operators, conditionals, loops, functions, arrays, superglobals, forms and validation, sessions and cookies, files, MySQL — rebuilt around modern PHP 8 and secure practice. Project: a booking/enquiry app with an admin page.
Community and help: every enrolled student gets the course Forum tab — ask the BOSS Pacific team or other students, share fixes and lab results. Read the BP Academy blog for updates and worked examples.
Includes: the full course as a licensed PDF workbook, available after purchase.
Hands-on labs: rent a ready environment from BOSS Pacific — Linux container, Docker sandbox. Every lab resets every 24 hours and is removed at the end of your rental. Or build your own with the gear listed in the course.
