Not sure if you still read these comments, but I decided to learn PHP thinking "If eli took time to teach it it's probably worth a weekend". It turned into an all consuming hobby. I built an app off of the clock that I saw a need for at my current job. Sold it to my boss, and leveraged a raise as a maintainer. Eli you've changed my career path and my life for the better. Thanks dude.

Outstanding: just played with the "put_contents" function and noticed it left you hanging on a blank page after submitting.This completes that lesson perfectly. Great stuff Eli!.

Thanks, Eli, for your concise instructions. I began with the first video, viewed them all & just completed this one. It's nice to be able to understand the "behind the scenes" things with PHP.

I love the PHP tutorials you teach. I am working on leaning more about PHP and have learned that YII is a "toolbox" of PHP code to build safe websites utilizing PHP without having to reinvent the wheel. Please do tutorial utilizing the YII technology.

Thanks Eli. I have told many about your great videos!

Greetings Eli, I came across you videos last week and believe me, I have learned a lot from it, more than ever.
The way you explained things were very clear and would make anyone to dream of considering being a programmer one day. I'm beginning to get convinced that that programming may not be a beast with 7 heads. lol
Just one thing that I realized while following your tutorial. It has to do with the CSV file. This file doesn't open correctly in Excel 2010 and probably above as well, but I have 2010. It opens, but doesn't separate the datas at the comma on different column, as desired. The way through this was I changed the CSV to TXT file and then opened it in excel and this time everything opened perfectly well.
Once again, GREAT TUTORIAL. Hope to hear from you again soon. Merry Christmas to you and everyone, have a nice learning.

All your tutorials and the way you teach are adorable and easy to understand. Thank you for the videos and waiting for your reply.

For logging in you need to use sessions to carry data from one page to another. Using $ _POST is the right way, but you will have to use sessions to carry the data from one page to another. The difference is that POST is used for private data like usernames and passwords. GET is used for things like searching, which isn't sensitive information that REQUIRES security.

Thank you again, Eli the Computer Guy. Typed everything out and it didn't work right. After reviewing each page I noticed that in the Function I misspelled email. Left the L out. So, when I ran it the first time, it displayed (rendered) the, Thank_you.php, but the file.php was blank. Once I corrected the Spelling, the file.php had one email address. Ran a few more times to populate the page with email addresses. Thank you again. Very important to listen to you explain how the flow moves from line to line so we know what's broken.
