I like the way you demonstrate and explain. Creating an interface for a database has been difficult for me. For some reason, there’s always something I’m missing. My code looks right, but it doesn’t work. I am looking forward to going through your other videos on this topic. Thanks!

Nice video. Quick and to the point. I wrote my 1st PHP programs almost 20 years, the end of 2000...before YouTube existed. But haven't done much with PHP since. My web server is set to use version 5.3, which is unsupported, so my old programs will run. My old PHP programs need updating to run version 7. Surprise, surprise...things have changed. The old connection method no longer works. This and the next video, helped. Thanks!

Great tutorial, well explained. How would you secure the DB handler pages from someone seeing the source. Is it based on permissions to the file on the server or by preventing access to this page on the web server configuration? Or some other way. Thanks.
