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 !!!

[@shakilnadim]

loved this tutorial. your php front to back is one of the best php tutorials out there. Please continue that and some more advanced pdo

[@anciao_dev]

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.

[@khanlakhno2757]

This lesson is what I was looking for my entire life!

[@FinnishPanther]

This was probably the best PHP KZbin course I've ever watched; very well done!

[@odunladeoluwaseun7880]

I gave link of this video to some members of our local Facebook dev club and it really helped a lot. thanks for producing quality videos like this

[@mikepecha3818]

legendary tutorial. Fast pace, yet well explained. Thank you

[@nicolashuve3558]

You're my very first tutorial learning PHP and I was able to follow along with no pb. Please do more!

[@iamspencerx]

Great Tutorial, I like how you get into problems and then proceed to solve them instead of avoiding them from the start and leaving the audience in total incomprehension which is what my teacher does.

[@shivaprakasha841]

this is gold!!!... i m doing a phase shift from mysql to PDO Programming !!! thanks for the smooth journey !!!

[@jaydee3807]

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

[@marleenloohuis2111]

This video make me dance around from joy! I was stuck in a project and this video helped to set everything up the right way. Huge thank you Brad!

[@james-ryanstampley7583]

This video was great! Very in-depth and will allow me to easily translate over my mysqli code to PDO. Can't wait to check out your other good videos on PHP!

[@shaun_rambaran]

This was thorough and very well explained. Thanks a lot, man.

[@shafanm]

Thank you for investing the time and effort in making this tutorial.

[@shreyasikhar1044]

Finally, the video that I was searching for months, maybe the best tutorial for PDO, really liked it

[@shanemarquiblat6155]

The only issue I found with this tutorial is that why I haven't seen this video earlier. This really is a big help for me. Thank you so much man!

[@payskin]

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)

[@noapplicablelabel]

As someone who is getting back in to PHP after a long break this was very helpful. Would definitely encourage more advanced stuff along the same lines. Thanks for the help!

[@cee-jaybenkino555]

Yes, we need more advanced stuff with php. Thank you, Brad.

[@argeelearner3978]

Thanks Finally more PHP.

[@TraversyMedia]

I am doing a PHP MYSQL projects course for Eduonix so expect that and more PHP on the channel.

[@argeelearner3978]

Great, Thanks for everything you are my #1 go to channel. I do have your 10 project in PHP on Eduonix(and more ...) and i'm looking forward for this course that you mentioned a couple of times.

[@OllieBeeCookswithKnives]

You honestly save my butt here - thanks a lot for posting this!

[@bigollie006]

Absolutely fantastic. To the point, clear, easy to understand, and helpful as you can be. Thank you so much. Head and shoulders above some of the instruction I have been subjected to. I look forward to your Udemy course, which I already purchased.

[@kevineriksson818]

Traversy Media you are awesome. Thank you everyday.

[@TraversyMedia]

You're very welcome

[@busyrand]

Really enjoyed this course. It was very challenging to wrap myself around what was going on based upon some of the syntax, however, everything clicked in the end when I calmed down and read through the code along with notes. You're super talented as an instructor, and I couldn't imagine learning this information any other way. Thank you Brad!

[@asfandyar687]

What a great video! I have learnt so much about PDO and it makes things a lot easier when interacting with the databases. So this was the trailer I needed to watch, I am definitely buying the Udemy course on PDO first thing in the morning. Brad! you are doing such a great service to all the new developers who are eager to learn to code and I'll be honest with you, you are hands down the best teacher when it comes to front-end and back-end development. I am really thankful to you, and your videos keep me motivated when i get overwhelmed with programming and you make it look a lot easier. Furthermore, you deserve all the praise and we can definitely pay you back by supporting you through buying your courses on Udemy and thats what I am going to do. Stay Blessed Sir!

[@usualjyn]

Thank you so much - the tutorial was easy to follow and hands on. I learned a lot from this course.

[@skoyah]

Hey there! I really enjoyed your PDO Crash course! I was struggling in moving from mysqli to PDO because I was having a hard time understanding the foundations of PDO. You talked on the video about making a more advanced "course" on the subject. Will you do it? I really would like to learn and see you using more advanced PDO features on a website. perhaps something related to a simple CMS with a user authentication, sort posts by name/asc/desc, etc. .... I totally connected with your video on self-doubt, since i did not finished my marine biology degree and got myself lost for 6-7 years. Now at age 31, I discovered this new passion about web dev and web design and for the past 5 months I've been learning CSS , HTML5, PHP and jQUERY. Keep up the awesome work mate!

[@luancosta7256]

Thanks a lot, I'll watch it as soon as I get home
