Beginner projects

Hi,

I'm going through the PHP track atm and it would be nice to practice the skills by making some small projects (for a beginner) but I have no clue what might be a great starting project?

Make a website where you can create posts, update and delete.

Or a simple website that displays information dynamically. So have a file in PHP that is saved like e.g. cakes.php and then have arrays of cakes there lke array { title: Baking chocolate cake, Post date: 23 July 2045 } but use the PHP syntax, i can't remember it now.

Then, make a loop to display that information in your HTML file. For each arry or something, display title, display post-date etc.. loop throw it as many times as there are arrays in the cake.php file

I mena i hope you get me.

If you're struggling for projects why not go through the examples that Alena makes for us in her courses. Then you could expand them by using some ideas you'll no doubt come up with as you go through them as to how to expand on them.

You'll then have these examples for your portfolio for you to build on with new projects. Treehouse has you covered whether or not you come up with 100% original projects.
