Building your own PHP scripts
Building PHP scripts is just adding many PHP statements one after another to build a web application. Technically, if you’ve been following our beginner tutorials, you have already started programming your own scripts. ;)
By now you have completed the basics and you’re ready to start learning some more. I recommend following these tutorials in order. Good luck!
1. PHP Variables
Variables are a key element in programming languages and PHP is no exception. In this tutorial I’ll explain what they are for and some examples of how to use them.
2. PHP Strings
A string, also known as a character string, is a series of characters (letters, numbers, punctuations).
3. PHP Strings: Functions
PHP’s built-in string functions enable you to easily do special things with your strings.
4. PHP Dates and Times
Use PHP’s built in date/time functions for many time-sensitive things.
5. PHP Numbers

6. PHP More with Numbers

7. PHP Arrays
Arrays are complex variables that take a bunch of variables and store it under one variable.
8. PHP Array Functions
Find out some more things we can do with arrays using Array Functions.
9. PHP Booleans
Booleans simply mean TRUE or FALSE, it’s true. You will need to know them.
10. PHP Constants
Constants are similar to PHP variables, except they don’t change.
11. PHP If Statements
If Statements are the beginning of logical operators and are a very important part of programming.
12. PHP Else and Elseif Statements
When the If Statement fails, we need something more…
13. PHP Operators
In this tutorial, I’ll show you the most common PHP operators and what they do.
14. PHP Switch
Switch statements are another way of doing something similar to using If, Else, and Elseif Statements
15. PHP Loops
Loops are frequently used to repeat a set of statements and code.
16. PHP While Loops
If it’s true, the while loop will repeat.
17. PHP For Loops
For every time a condition is met, the loop repeats.
18. PHP For Each Loops
For each item in an array, the loop repeats.
19. PHP Continue
If we want to skip back to the beginning of a loop, we can use Continue.
20. PHP Break
If we want to quit a loop or switch statement, we can Break out of it.
21. PHP Function
A function allows you to reuse a block of code throughout your application.
22. PHP More With Functions
Continue learning more about the power of PHP functions.
