Simple scripts in php for beginners
Start with small, testable PHP programs
Beginner exercises are most useful when each example demonstrates one idea at a time. The example below uses current input handling without the error-suppression operator and escapes user supplied text before sending it back to the browser.
<?php
$name = trim($_POST['name'] ?? '');
if ($name !== '') {
echo 'Welcome ' . htmlspecialchars($name, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
}
?>The practice programs below cover loops, strings, arithmetic, dates and form input. Follow the individual demo links to see each idea separately.
