mmtuts is a YouTube channel that focuses on teaching beginner and advanced courses in various multimedia related skills.
We plan to make tutorials available on programming, video production, animation, graphic design, and on software such as the Adobe Creative Cloud programs.

PHP for beginners is a how to series that teaches the PHP coding language to people who are just starting out learning programming. The course teaches how PHP scripting can be made easy and teaches how to build many apps such as a login system, a comment section, how to upload images, how to create users in a website, and much more. Creating dynamic websites with PHP is easy and should not be seen as otherwise, which is why we want to explain the language in a easy to understand way for beginners.

If you have suggestions on new courses, or specific lessons within existing courses you would like to see, then feel welcome to submit them in the comment section or in a private message. ALL suggestions will be seen, but not all will be replied to since we get quite a few every day.

You're the only person on youtube that has made a video about this that actually works. All the other ones are just a complete mess and never work in the end. Only bits and pieces work with the other people, but you have made something that works 100% with everything you publish here on youtube! Respect!

Well, it's 3 years later, and this video course is STILL relevant! Thank you so much for uploading this course. You're doing a great job. This is (by far) one of the best programming tutorials on YouTube. I just subscribed to your channel to learn more.

YOU'RE AN AMAZING TEACHER!

From 1000s of PHP tutorials that I've watched, from this 1 video, your's covered almost everything. It's the best. Changed my point of view of life. Thank you so much!

24 minute video took me whole evening to get it working. I accidentally erased all user info typed in, and had a typo "inlcude". I never suspected typo and (partially) replayed video several times before I found it. Great video with lots of information.

I am taking a course on UDEMY and you sir have explained more here than they have. You are the best. Keep up the great work

[kudrah]

Great stuff, you cannot be sleeping much. Like the PHP tuts/videos a lot but perhaps
you’ll allow me to say that in the ‘How to create a login system’ you ought to mention security. For instance the dbh.php file you use although it has no password (not good!) would be visible to an attacker as it is part of the webroot. Perhaps you ought to mention that such a file should be outside the webroot and so be part of the normal setup. Thus being called by either an include or require statement.

I would make a directory in home (I use Linux) possibly called includes (well, why
not) and in that set-up the file more or less as per your DBH.php example. Then call that file as follows: require_once(“/includes/name of file.php”); You might not even
have to use brackets pending which issue of PHP you use. This way your password etc will be as safe as can be, attackers cannot go outside the webroot unless the set-up is compromised in other ways. The other thing that is necessary is to mention you need (if using Xampp) to set the correct permissions for the file and directory. Otherwise you will
get the usual error messages.Anyway, keep up the good work, I have great fun with trying out all your ideas. Oh yes,
also Xampp is great for experimentation but not for production. If you need a website use LAMP or WAMP.

in the begining i think: look its a tutorial with more than 20minutes length, but that minnutes run like a second, like ur tuts and thnx alot.

[kylepook]

Dude! thanks mhan.. i feel like i find a pot of gold... finally some real clean lessons, life made easy :-)

At 14:40, you changed all the double quotes to single quotes and then wrapped the echo text in double quotes. It would have been much easier to just wrap the echo text in single quotes and leave the double quotes as is. Just wondering, is there a reason to go to the extra trouble?

Hello Daniel,
Fantastic tutorial, ignore people like Explore Cosmos as manners dictate that if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything.
One question why do you not put the connection file in the parent directory where it is not directly accessible, for security reasons?

[batuhanfurun]

When i go to the next episode 41; error handling.... we can see the Sign In page is designed, but you didnt shown us the code.
Is it possible you can send me this .CSS files to me?
BTW Your videos are the best videos for teaching PHP, help me out alot. Nice Voice and nice Video.

[mtatuzitv]

When you move to error handling, I saw the signup form is at the center of the browser, how did you style because in thisw videos you did not show how you style it to be displayed at the center of the browser, I will be very happy if you me me for that.Tahnks very much bro for you teaching.
