Does the PHP course teach you about using forms and creating sign-up/login systems?

Just a quick one...

Im going to start the PHP course but just had a few quick questions..

Does the course give you enough knowledge to know how to create a newsletter input field that allows you to send bulk emails to everyone that has submitted their email in the form?

Does the course teach you how you can create a basic/secure member system with sign-up and login?

Thanks!

The form and emails, yeah. It does go over how to set up forms, and validate them on the server side. It also goes over the PHP Mailer library, and how to use it.

From that skill set you can probably figure out how to do exactly what you need to do.

The login form, not so much. Depending on how easily you pick up PHP, you could probably learn enough to build your own login system with the lessons here.

If you want a really good tutorial that walks you through building a login form, I highly recommend you watch this video series.
