In this tutorial, we started at the language basics of PHP and MySQL before diving into five detailed examples that culminated in building various parts of an online shopping system. We covered lots of topics such as web interface creation, server side validation and database initialisation. I believe you are now ready to put everything together and have a go at developing something on your own!
Next steps
I suggest you take everything we learned and put it into practice by making your own shopping website from new. You could expand your knowledge into mobile app development, continue learning backend development (PHP and MySQL) or focus on making responsive frontend website designs. If you want some examples of what to create a project on, here are some of my suggestions that will get you thinking in terms web development in PHP and databases:
- Computer store ordering system
- Personalised wedding cake ordering system
- Supermarket item tracking system
- Worldwide springs tourist driven information sharing and rating system
- Cultural exchange programme chat forum
- Music album metadata cataloguing and dicussion site
The End
You've reached the end of my PHP and MySQL development tutorial. I hope you learned a lot!
Here's a song I thought sounded like saying 'you've reached the end of a tutorial, but it's also the beginning of many future web projects':
