Our Verdict

PHP for Beginners: PDO, MySQL, phpMyAdmin offers a well-structured and comprehensive introduction to the basics of PHP, MySQL, and phpMyAdmin. The course strengths include an engaging teaching style, optimal pacing, and valuable hands-on challenges. However, some updates are needed to cover key topics like prepared statements more thoroughly. Adding Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts could also enhance the learning experience for those who want to dive deeper into PHP development.
