Course Overview
PHP Programming: The Complete Bundle for Web Development Mastery, from Core Syntax to MVC Frameworks
This eLearning course includes these courses:
- PHP Basics Training
- Object Oriented PHP and MVC
The PHP Programming bundle is a comprehensive, two-part training program designed to transform you from a PHP novice into a proficient Web Developer. This master bundle provides the essential backend development skills required to build modern, interactive, and dynamic websites, covering both the core language fundamentals and advanced architectural patterns.
You will begin with PHP Basics, establishing a strong foundation in the widely-used open-source scripting language. This introductory module covers all essential programming concepts: PHP variables, data structures (including indexed and associative arrays), control flow (conditional statements and loops), error handling with exceptions, and practical use cases like retrieving form data and file system operations. Critically, you will learn how to connect and interact with databases using PHP and MySQL, along with processing data formats like XML. The second half of the bundle, Object Oriented PHP and MVC, elevates your skills by diving into Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles (Classes, Inheritance, Access Modifiers). You will apply this knowledge to build a custom MVC (Model View Controller) framework from scratch, mastering professional software architecture. This advanced training includes creating a robust PDO database class for secure interactions with MySQL using prepared statements, implementing full user authentication, and managing access control for an application. By the end, you'll not only understand PHP but also how to architect, develop, and deploy a professional, secure web application, readying you for high-demand PHP developer roles.
What You'll Gain:
- PHP Fundamentals: Master core PHP syntax, variables, arrays, control flow, and functions for dynamic content creation.
- Database Interaction: Confidently connect, query, insert, update, and delete data using PHP and MySQL with both basic and advanced PDO methods.
- Error Handling and File Management: Learn to handle code exceptions, and perform common operations with files and directories.
- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Implement professional OOP concepts like Classes, Inheritance, and Access Modifiers in PHP.
- MVC Framework Development: Understand and build a custom Model View Controller (MVC) architecture from the ground up for scalable web development.
- Secure Application Building: Develop crucial features like user authentication, access control, and server-side form validation.
Ready to build professional-grade, dynamic web applications? Enroll in the PHP Programming bundle and master the essential technologies of the web.
Also Included - 4 Courses: An Essential Career Skills Pack with 4 courses in key areas for career management and growth, including Time Management, Digital Skills, Creativity and Soft Skills.

Object Oriented PHP and MVC
Course Duration - 3 hrs 36 min
In this course, we will go step-by-step to build a complete custom MVC (Model View Controller) framework called TraversyMVC using object-oriented PHP. We will build something like CodeIgniter, but much lighter. This framework is completely open source, and you are free to change the name, add elements, and use it as your own in your own projects.
This framework will include:
- A core library class to load controllers and methods from the URL (also using .htaccess).
- A base controller class to load models and views.
- A custom database library using PDO for all models to interact with the database using prepared statements.
We will not only create the framework but will build an application on top of it called SharePosts which will comprise something akin to a social network to share posts. This application will include:
- Full user authentication
- Access control for posts
- Server-side form validation
- Bootstrap 4 UI
- Posts CRUD
- Helper functions (flash messaging and redirects)
We will also deploy the application to the Internet. This is not a beginner PHP course. To learn the basics, please check out the PHP Front-To-Back series by Traversy Media.
