FAQs

Which PHP version should I learn?

Learn PHP 8+. It has better typing features, improved error handling, and modern syntax used by current frameworks.

Do I need a framework (Laravel/Symfony) to use PHP professionally?

Frameworks help a lot in real jobs, but strong fundamentals matter first. After this course, moving to Laravel will feel much easier.

How do I connect PHP to a database safely?

Use PDO with prepared statements. Avoid string-concatenated SQL and always validate inputs.

What are the biggest beginner mistakes in PHP?

Not escaping output (XSS risk), not using prepared statements (SQL injection risk), and mixing business logic directly inside templates without structure.
