This is by far the most efficient and effective way to teach PHP, been watching since day 1. It's refreshing and helps me understand PHP in a deeper level but PHP frameworks too. Thank you kind sir.

Another way to show the bypass of the required attribute (instead of using curl) could be to inspect the page and delete de required attribute in the browser and submit it.

All is good, but htmlspecialchars must be included by default when working with user input data, like when you echo out $_POST['body'] ?? '', just wrap everything in hsc. This should be done so new developers get used to it from early days.
