Data Types – Strings, Integers, Floats, Booleans, Arrays, Objects.

Operators – Arithmetic (+, -, *, /), Comparison (==, !=), Logical (&&, ||).


2️⃣ Control Structures

Conditional Statements – if, else, elseif, switch.

Loops – for, while, do-while, foreach.

Functions – Define reusable blocks of code (function myFunction() {}).


3️⃣ Working with Forms

Handling Form Data – $_GET and $_POST.

Validation & Sanitization – filter_var(), htmlspecialchars().

File Uploads – Handling $_FILES array.


4️⃣ Working with Databases (MySQL & PDO)

Connecting to a Database – mysqli_connect() or PDO.

Executing Queries – SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE.

Prepared Statements – Prevent SQL injection using prepare().


5️⃣ PHP and Sessions

Sessions – Store user data across pages (session_start();).

Cookies – Store small pieces of data on the client (setcookie();).


6️⃣ Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in PHP

Classes & Objects – Define with class and instantiate using new.

Encapsulation – Use public, private, protected.

Inheritance – Extend functionality using extends.

Polymorphism & Interfaces – Create flexible code structures.


7️⃣ File Handling

Reading & Writing Files – fopen(), fread(), fwrite().

Working with JSON & XML – json_encode(), json_decode().


8️⃣ REST APIs with PHP

Handling API Requests – $_GET, $_POST.

JSON Response – header("Content-Type: application/json");.

cURL for API Calls – curl_init(), curl_exec().


9️⃣ Security Best Practices

Prevent SQL Injection – Use prepared statements.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Prevention – htmlspecialchars().

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Protection – Use tokens.

Password Hashing – Use password_hash(), password_verify().

5 Misconceptions About Web Development (and What’s Actually True):

❌ You need to learn everything before starting 
✅ Start with the basics (HTML, CSS, JS) — build projects as you learn, and grow step by step.

❌ You must be good at design to be a web developer 
✅ Not true! Frontend developers can work with UI/UX designers, and backend developers rarely design anything.

❌ Web development is only about coding 
✅ It’s also about problem-solving, understanding user needs, debugging, testing, and improving performance.

❌ Once a website is built, the work is done 
✅ Websites need regular updates, maintenance, optimization, and security patches.

❌ You must choose frontend or backend from day one 
✅ You can explore both and later specialize — or become a full-stack developer if you enjoy both sides.
