Build a strong foundation in PHP and XHTML by learning how to develop dynamic, server-side web applications. This course is designed for beginners and aspiring web developers who want to understand how PHP processes user input, generates XHTML output, and controls application behavior through server-side programming.
You will begin by configuring a local PHP development environment, creating and executing basic PHP scripts, and generating dynamic XHTML content. Next, you will explore XHTML forms, learning how to design forms, process user input, distinguish between GET and POST methods, and work with multiple input types. Finally, you will apply PHP control structures, including conditional statements, comparison and logical operators, switch statements, and loops to create interactive, data-driven web applications.
Throughout the course, you will apply core PHP and XHTML concepts, analyze program flow and user input, and create practical server-side solutions using structured programming techniques. The course emphasizes hands-on development while building higher-order thinking skills aligned with Bloom's Taxonomy.
Whether you are beginning your web development journey or strengthening your understanding of server-side programming, this course provides a practical pathway to developing dynamic web applications with PHP and XHTML.

A few exercises could have had more explanation of why certain PHP functions are used — I had to look up extra documentation sometimes.
