About this course
Are you new to PHP and eager to learn how to interact with databases using MySQLi? “MySQLi for Beginners” is the perfect course for developers looking to master the essentials of working with MySQL databases through PHP’s MySQLi extension.
This step-by-step course takes you from the very basics of connecting to a database, to more advanced topics like using prepared statements and safely retrieving data. You’ll start with an introduction to MySQLi and learn how to establish a reliable connection to your database using both procedural and object-oriented styles. As you move through the lessons, you'll learn how to create tables, fetch single or multiple records, and use different result types based on your needs.
Understanding how to manage and secure your data is vital. That’s why this course also focuses heavily on security best practices, including escaping data inputs and working with prepared statements to prevent SQL injection attacks. Additionally, you'll explore how to update records, count results, and manage the overall database interaction lifecycle by freeing results and closing connections properly.
With concise video tutorials, practical demonstrations, and real-world coding examples, this course ensures you develop a strong foundation in MySQLi. Whether you're building your first dynamic web app or integrating a database into an existing project, these lessons are designed to give you the knowledge and confidence you need.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid grasp of how MySQLi works and how to apply it securely and efficiently in your own projects.
