A CORRECTION TO THIS VIDEO! In the part where I create the exit() function, you need to make sure you place it AFTER the header() function! Otherwise the script is obviously exited before it even runs the header() function. 😂 Me dum dum me see rock smash smash hehe 😂

[@Dani_Krossing]

@@mehdimerimi5067 The source code is linked in the description for members 🙂

[@ShootYourBricks]

I was wondering how that worked😂

[@Dani_Krossing]

@Mehdi MERIMI Ah hehe no problem. 😊 I have trouble recognizing sarcasm, and when I also once in a while do get people who wanna "fight me about it" and are actually upset about it, I can be quick to defend my usage of memberships for my files hehe. No hard feelings. 😊

[@cruzinsweetsntreats]

I was getting the auto check squiggly lines under the location redirect, unlike yourself at 23:16 for the empty value check. Once I figured that out, then saw your response here. 😁 04-16-2023 0404 PT "404 ERROR CODE" 🧐😎🤣

[@danielbuleandra3981]

well reading this comment would have spared me 3-5 hours of staring into the monitor....just put a pop up comment in the video so other wont burnout trying to figure out

[@Phil-nc5mw]

Dude the fact you made an entire course for free is amazing. Thank you so much. I wasted so much money on expensive courses for different languages not realizing I could have just been watching your videos instead.

[@fissionchips223]

Another fantastic installment, Dani! While these are getting a little more complex, simply watching a second time makes all the difference. Thanks again for your tremendously helpful tutorials - I am having the best time learning this!

[@kevinerose]

Great videos! I am enjoying your format of training. I haven't programmed in 20 years and surprised to see PHP is still popular. Back then we had PHP and ASP (active server pages). Although I left programming before getting too deep into all that. My boss sent me to ASP training but we never really got very far with web development where I was working although they wanted to.

[@cloudagnostic]

Great tutorial! I started learning PHP 5 years ago and switched to javascript (nodejs). I always found php much easier and occasionally I do small projects with the language. I might make the switch back after this series!😅

[@nedalturas]

Been looking for some PHP tutorials as I need to re learn it, your video is very detailed and I love it.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for offering this fantastic free course! I've tried learning programming from different places, but your way of explaining things simply is truly amazing. I'm incredibly thankful! 🙏

[@kavinj4455]

Thank you ! this is super helpful !

[@DevinGeegh]

I love your video!!! I am curious how to throw up an error message on the index page after the exit? Also you mentioned some things after the htmlspecialchars that could be added, curious on that as well. Maybe you cover this in a later video that I haven't been through yet. Anyways... Keep up the awsome work! Thanks!

Your way of teaching is great sir. But another thing I want to say sir, u looks like Elon Musk .

[@RAHAT_PY]

This tutorial is very helpful thank you but one thing plz upload it daily

[@lordtop6847]

Thank you for the video, but I have a problem after submitting on the initial php page on localhost with html, which causes an error in the console log on the same page: "Not allowed to load local resource: ". How did you get the final result without errors popping up?

[@estudiar173]

thanks

[@sakmaestro3852]

Great...... do u have udemy course in php?

[@RAHAT_PY]

and thanks 😀

[@ramanmhedin1137]

thank you for these tutorials,will you use AJAX with PHP and MySQL in the next videos?

[@Dani_Krossing]

Later in this course we will get into MySQL yes. 🙂 AJAX I think however belong in a separate course, since it is mostly JavaScript.

[@mandy1784]

is that security issue still true for frontend frameworks like React or Vue? Thanks for the vid!

[@Izkawi33]

thank you Dani. is htmlspecialchars function used with string inputs what about if data submitted of type integer or float or boolean should I put htmlspecialchars??

[@Dani_Krossing]

You can use htmlspecialchars() for that too yes, however we do also have more specific sanitization functions you can use for non-string data. Such as filter_var or filter_input.

[@Websitecorner]

hi, thanks for the video , I have a question , when I save the file as PHP, auto closing tags doesn't work anymore , it works fine in html files but not in php ! do you have any idea? thanks

[@krishnashrestha6040]

One of the best tutorial. And bro looks like Elon😅

[@_ChildofYeshua_]

Send to same form = Action = "name of that same form" So if your form is on the index.php form then just call that form action="index.php" without including the super global. If you're gona use the super global then make sure to sanitize it i.e strip_tags, stripshlashes, trim, html entities etc...

[@misstallschannel7983]

Thank you so much for this comment, Yoh you helped me 😢, I have been here for hours, I was about to give up 🥹

[@Daniel_Wray]

Great video... I've gone wrong somewhere though. I only have the select option for 'Favourite pet' and no text box to type any other information in for Firstname and Lastname. Where did I go wrong?

[@emmanuelameyaw5686]

Hee taught HTML and PHP together

[@krazy_kzir]

Hey i have a nasty error "unreachable code" when working on if statement on empty data input.

[@wplearntv]

Please make a video on how to create new project with backend and frontend that have admin control

[@user-ih2zp9jg7f]

Good afternoon, Dani. Thanks for all your tutorials. Question: I feel that I have to choose between Javascript and PHP. For front-end coding and eventually also for back-end coding. What do you say, Javascript or PHP? Greetings, Ruud (Amsterdam, Holland)

[@Dani_Krossing]

Hi. I'm a bit confused by the question. You say you need to learn a front-end and a back-end language? Then it makes sense to learn both, seeing JavaScript is front-end, and PHP is back-end. 🙂 JavaScript CAN be learned as a back-end language as well, if done so through frameworks like Node.js... But PHP is still vastly more popular as a backend choice.

[@user-ih2zp9jg7f]

Thank you.

[@user-mf4pv3rm2e]

More of security videos about PHP

[@adtronadebawo7647]

Great video, thanks Dani. But on the handler page after it loads, if you fresh it will throw an error of "undifiend array", how do we handle this?

[@Dani_Krossing]

What is the exact error message you get? Are you sure it's not "undefined variable"? Because I don't believe we ever used an array in this video. 🙂

[@adtronadebawo7647]

@@Dani_Krossing Yes, it's undefined variables, that was a typo error. Thanks 🙏

Hope that you will have Udemy course for PHP

Everything I make is free on KZbin 🙂

[@ShootYourBricks]

If I have a page with php and html, is it still good to omit the end ?> tag as long as there's no html at the end?

[@Dani_Krossing]

Omitting the closing tag should only be done in "code only files". So if you have a document that acts as a "page" inside your website, then you should include the closing tag.

[@acitbambili7759]

Nice video, thanks for the efforts, God will contiue to bless you. Please, Dani i have a problem in chapter 6, about PHP Form Handling. This code snippet you gave: if(empty($_POST['name'])) { exit(); header("Location: ../index.php"); } I think the header line will be unreachablbe or I am missing something. The exit() function is exiting what, the if statement or the page?

[@Dani_Krossing]

Swap the exit and header functions around 🙂

[@brianjett1446]

Can you please make a php payment form??!!!

[@ghcybertech]

i love you

[@RAHAT_PY]

Bro I don't have money; so I don't buy any update course Plz upload it daily.

[@user-yx1hq8qy8g]

sorry how to sumitt form in the localhost in tutorial 6

[@GoodBoy-zc3ol]

the header() funtion doesnt seem to work when i tried it, like the code is not even there. what is wrong

[@GoodBoy-zc3ol]

solved it, i think i typed coma instead of dot. all i did was retype it

[@s2003katalin]

Please use die(); after header();

[@Dani_Krossing]

Yes very good point, I included that in a pinned comment right after I uploaded this video. 🙂 Otherwise a few things can go wrong, one for example being that the form gets resubmitted on refresh. Exit() is also a valid function to use. Most people use Die() when you need to stop the script because of an error, and Exit() whenever everything went as expected. The main difference between the two is that one closes the HTTP connection, and the other one doesn’t.

[@labo6813]

please where is the main.css code to the 6th video on forms??

10 hours just trying to get past 11min mark on you video I do no Know what I'm doing wrong went to other channell to figure out xamp, got another editor I dk

[@Dani_Krossing]

It helps if you describe the issue you are having? 🙂 Otherwise I don't have any info to help you pinpoint the issue. First of all, did you follow my video series from the start? If not, then it might explain why you are getting errors.

ouch, white screen in dark mode. 🤣

[@ChrisWalker-pd2xn]

7:18 thank me later

[@Dani_Krossing]

Some might enjoy a refresher on how HTML interacts with PHP, but yes, that is the time stamp for skipping the HTML part 🙂

[@darubramasto]

you don’t need to write every variables corresponding every attribute passed. Just write $data[‘foo’] = ‘name’; $data[‘foo2’] = ‘name2’; and echo $data; or compact(‘data’);

[@anikhasan6467]

Its been 6 day's 😢

[@Dani_Krossing]

Have been quite busy this week, and won't make it into the office until after the weekend unfortunately. 😅 But will be right back posting then 😉

[@tanzimwalweni6569]

Stop talking about html please, youre confusing the beginners php learners

[@Dani_Krossing]

HTML is a part of PHP. You should know HTML before getting into PHP, since many PHP features require HTML to work. So if you don't know HTML, I wouldn't recommend jumping ahead to PHP. I will be talking a lot more about HTML in these videos ahead, since it is necessary.
