- [Kevin] Welcome to PHP Object-Oriented Programming with Databases. My name is Kevin Skoglund and I'm excited to teach you how to use PHP's object-oriented programming techniques to work with databases. In this course we will learn the object-oriented syntax for PHP's built-in MySQL adapter. We will learn about the active record design pattern and use it to create objects and database rows which interact seamlessly, and we'll build a content management system to make it easy to create, read, update, and delete records using HTML pages and forms. We'll use object-oriented techniques to implement user authentication so that only administrators with a valid username and password will be able to access and update records and we'll break up tables which has many records into pages by using a pagination class to simplify handling of the variables, calculation, and links that we need to display for the user. This is an intermediate course which will assume that you already know the basics of PHP. If you need to review your skills, PHP Essential Training, PHP with MySQL Essential Training parts one and two, and PHP Object-Oriented Programming will prepare you with everything you need to know for this course. Once you're ready, let's get started learning PHP Object-Oriented Programming with Databases.
