PHP

I have completed the PHP basics but I need a beginner PHP project, any suggestions?

I am learning PHP from scratch for a college project. the project involves learning introductory PHP and then building a PHP product from the skills I have learnt.

Try creating a simple contact database with an HTML and CSS front-end to hold the contact information for people you know.

Consider how you're going to handle work and home contact info, such as phone numbers, emails, and addresses. (In other words, a single person could have a home phone and a work phone, a home email and a work email, and a home address and a work address).

It's not too tough of a project, but it's complex enough to give you some new things to think about.

Hi Roy, thanks for your suggestion. That sounds like a good idea. I have to admit though I don't even know where I would start with that. I think I need access to a tutorial which would walk me through the steps of creating something like that.

If that's too complex, you could try creating a registration form where you ask for the user's email, login name, and password.

You would need to:

  1. create the form
  2. validate the information entered in the form
  3. check to see if the user's email was already in the database
  4. If it's already in the database, let the user know there is an account registered to that email.
  5. If it's not already in the database, add it to the database and let the user know it was accepted.

It's a much simpler project, but it's still good practice and will help you learn some things about PHP.
