Hello, welcome to Part 2 of the series. In this section, we’ll start with some actual code writing. “Code” is a short term to refer to “programming lines” i.e. instructions. So when someone is “coding”, they’re actually “writing programs”. I’ll use that word for short.
We’ll start with writing some instructions in pseudo-code. What is pseudo-code? Does it mean pseudo-programming? Yes, sort of.
You want to make sure you understand how to write and understand pseudo-code because that’s what I’ll be using through the rest of this series. They’re easy, English-like statement so don’t worry too much.

Hello there! Welcome to my Fundamentals of Programming series of post. In this series, I will teach you about the basics of programming, i.e. the building blocks and what makes a program tick. I will NOT teach you Java, C++, PHP, Python or whatever pretty language you can think of. Instead, I’ll keep it language-independent so that even a complete beginner to programming will be able to follow.

Hello there, back with some PHP lessons. It’s been quite a while. Got loads of projects to deal with at work and wasn’t feeling like typing codes at home.
This lesson will deal about session ($_SESSION) and cookies ($_COOKIES)…(This kind of cookie has nothing to do with cookies our grand-mother used to cook for us 
)

Hello there, it’s been a while, I’ve been very busy with work and some personal project, so i had to delay the PHP courses, but anyway, I’m back and today we’ll have a look at Server Constants.
Take a look at www.geekscribes.net, on the right side, we have a search form, when you type in a search keyword and press Enter, the page loads and it fetch every results according to what you typed. Ever wonder how it works? Don’t go any further, today I will show you bring a boring html form to life.
Before I start, if you missed the array tutorials, then please, go to the link below, and read the post, give it a try.. because you’ll need to understand how arrays work in order to understand this lesson fully.

Ok guys and girls, this is lesson 6 and I hope we can at least get to lesson 100!
Today we will have a look at functions in PHP. First, what’s a function? It’s simply a sort of container for code. Whenever you call the function, the code inside gets executed. Also, functions can accept parameters, which are values that the function needs to work. If you remember a bit of your maths, “cos x” is a function, and x is the parameter or argument. Usually the result you get by doing the cosine operation is the return value. Just remember those terms for later.

Last time we saw how to work with the different kinds of loops: the While, Do While, For and Foreach loops. Today, we are going to see two keywords, “break” and “continue” that you may use to operate on loops and Switch blocks. You can consider this to be a continuation of the Loops lesson.

Loooooops!
In this lesson, we will have a look at the foreach function in php.
First, what is a loop? I’d say something that repeats or involves a repetition can be considered a loop. In programming, you use a loop to have a bunch of codes run for a number you set. If there were no loops, you’d have to write that piece of code x times if you wanted to run it for x times, which is crazy! Read on to know the solution!
