PHP

This module focused on PHP which is an open source scripting language that is used in web development. PHP can be used within HTML source code. Using this method, you can write forms, loops, and databases.

Module Two was a big more time consuming compared to the other modules. There were five assignments and watching tutorials by Eli the Computer Guy was one of them. His videos were lengthy but they were jam-packed with information. He went from the basics of PHP to interacting with a web server. I liked his tutorials because he provided examples and if I see somebody else do it first, it makes it easier for me to learn.

Using the tutorials from Eli, I learned how to make an HTML form and its relationship with PHP. PHP is able to take information from things such as forms and send it to a destination. Creating a form was easier than I expected. PHP reminded me of other languages that I have learned so I was quick to pick it up. Below is an example of a form that I created with guidance from Eli that asks for shirt size.
