I hope you get paid a lot for what you do. You're the reason I got hired at a local company where I do LAMP stack web development. God bless you.

Sooo grateful that I found this tutorial. Looking forward to viewing your other tutorials. I went through so many PDO tutorials before this one - and came away knowing that if I "copy/pasted" I could make things work, but with no understanding of what I was doing, or how to think about what I was doing, or how to think through other things that needed doing. Ignorance may be bliss, but working knowledge is thrilling - and because of this tutorial I now have some solid familiarity with some basic working knowledge. Thank you !!!

The best explanation on YouTube for PDO you will find, very clever and a no nonsense approach.

It was an awesome beginner PDO tutorial. A few topics for the advanced video:
- PDOStatement implements Traversable, meaning you never ever have to fetch() in a while loop, you can simply foreach the statement (resulting much cleaner and efficient code, in my opinion)
- the awesome parameters of FetchAll() for many fascinating ways to receive multiple data
- bindParam vs bindValue in advanced prepared statements
- with using mysqlnd driver (afaik, the default driver since php 5.5) you can receive your data from the database in the proper variable types, ie INT arrives as integer not as string (still there are some catches though)

These crash courses are really helpful. Instead of watching entire playlists or go to a bunch of forums, this is the best way to get started about a techy thing... So keep up and help the ones that really need it.
