The comments in here mentioning your clear and quality message in this video were dead on. I haven’t touched PHP in years and only recently MySQL for a personal project. You connected neurons that haven’t engaged in ages, your delivery style is so good. Liked and subbed and would definitely love to learn more from you.
This tutorial... Just wow... I don't know how to code as I am in the Network Admin side of IT, but with this tutorial I as able to run my very first programming page.
Hi Dave! Starting as a Web Dev intern soon, and I just wanted to say, how great and informative these videos are for understanding "what's under the hood" so to say. Keep up the amazing work!
I second the vote about being the best php tutorial on TH-cam. I'm still confused (born that way) about the validation of the information before being written to the DB.

one of the video that got me understand, i've watched 5-more videos, and this is clear. tommorow is deadline for university assigment and my lecturer never teach php
You are a great Teacher!!! This is the best php tutorial i've seen. There are so many tutorials where you can't understand what about they are talking. Your tutorial is step by step, so clear and easy to understand. I must watch all your videos... Thanks a lot!!!
WOW! I always want videos like this. You do an amazing job. Thorough explanation on why each code block is chosen. How to test implementation along the way. And a full video from start to finish comprehensively solving the entire subject at hand. Thank you for your dedication to excellence and kindly sharing it with the rest of us.
Wow, this's a very clear and deep explanation here. Thanks so much for the tutorial. It's obvious you really deeply understand this, based on your explanation and work through. It's so clear and confident. I really appreciate your effort into this tutorial.
I especially enjoy your tutorials; they are some of my favorites. As a person who is career-transitioning into full stack development, I would grasp further from this tutorial if it was presented separately as PHP and JS, front and back end. Your current method was most logical. However, being only slightly familiar with JavaScript, I became a bit lost when you began this tutorial's JSON/front-end section. My javascript course will start in October, but I wanted to mention this for your consideration for those who are not able to return to school for instruction. I have now subscribed to your channel. Your time and expertise are much appreciated!
I really love this tutorial! You should make more Projects like this like (Task List, Converter, Calculator, .... ) I would really loved if you could be my Mentor . You clearly have magic to teach... Can wait to see a new project.
Please Dave, Could you do a video on MVC? Explaining the role of each part and how to set code up to achieve the objectives of the Pattern. Lots of videos on TH-cam on the subject are merely showboating! Folks showing off their skills! But, you're a natural Teacher. Can you please help ground us in how MVC works? What makes Views, views, Controllers, controllers, and Models, Models and the linkages. Please, Dave.
Thank you for your kind words! I do have a video on that: th-cam.com/video/9t4MJZvRK78/w-d-xo.html It's an older video, but it's still valid. I also have a full course on that on Udemy that I'm working on updating right now.
This tutorial is awesome! Thank you Dave! I'll try to add your "email-verification tutorial" to this. Maybe with an extra email verification link for user verification. I am a total newbie to php and coding, but your tutorials are THE BEST on youtube! Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for this. Thanks for also teaching us how to avoid SQL attacks or client-side bypasses. I've subscribed to your channel and can't wait to see more of your content. I've one question that how can I ensure that the email actually exists and is not a made-up email. I will also appreciate if you made video on how to sign up using google or apple account.
Amazing content, every step is explained why this is happening, very calm instructor. Sad there's no javascript projects in your channel Dave. If you could indicate some channel that have the same aspects of your channel I would appreciate. Thanks.
@@Unscripted24Hours did you add the correct amount of strings? in $stmt->bind_param. For example I have first_name, last_name, username, password_hash. so mine is: $stmt->bind_param("ssss", $_POST["first_name"], $_POST["last_name"], $_POST["username"], $password_hash);
Thank you so much for this tutorial! It was super easy to follow and I didn't get any errors (other than the ones showed in the video of course). This'll be a big help for a lot of people!
thanks for your great efforts i have learned a lot from this video, and i have a question, are these practices and what you made in this video similar to the real world ?
Hi Dave! Your tutorial is great! But I have a question: if I'm doing a big project, is it an necessary to put the htdocs folder into the entire project? Or just leave signup.html and others php file following by the project's structure?
@@dave-hollingworth Thanks, and one more problem is that if i want to connect the file php with the html file, i can't do like you with action and method, because in my html file it contains Yup, can you recommend any solutions in this case?
@@eagle-yq7yw I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean - the action attribute is used to connect the form with the file that will be requested when the form is submitted.
First of all, I am a big big fan of your PHP videos and courses,. To complement what they teach, I would love to see: 1. (Besides Authentication) Authorization: Creating an Admin area in a website, assigning roles and such things • Learning the differences, pros and cons of a basic Admin area VS. a full-fledged Dashboard 2. Implementation of a shopping cart and integration with payment methods and platforms (eCommerce basics) 3. Editing and managing user uploaded images, i.e. Resize dimensions and Optimizing file sizes 4. Managing graphic content dinamically in a website i.e. CMS-like basic stuff. I just wish to learn how to allow my website's authorized users to update homepage images themselves 5. Difference and use cases for API Calling VS CRUDs to manage relational database content. i.e. API HTTP Request methods VS CRUD SQL actions (a bit confused here about when to use each) Again, THANK YOU so so much, you really outstand discretely from the crowd, a true Academic man. I really appreciate your 'THE RIGHT WAY TO DO THINGS AND BEST PRACTICES' teaching style. P.S. There are many tutorials about all of this in TH-cam, nothing close to what I have learned from you. :)
Thank you so much for your kind words Joel! I've made a note of all your excellent suggestions - I'll let you know when I create some content for them!
excellent stuff as always! & txs again (& again & again!!) for yr wonderful class on udemy. constantly using as a ref! u've completely won me over to php & as on an old vb programmer i genuinely never thought i'd ever say that! :)
Thanks for the best tutorial!!! Thanks for your patience to explain these ideas step by step!!! However,I have another question about working this on Vue Cli. If I work this on Vue Cli, what are do’s and don’ts or any tips?:)
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Vue Cli, but the backend techniques shown in the video should work with whatever front end Vue code you have in the browser.
amazing tutorial. you explain everything very clearly and add code that is crucial for typical website building, for us not to forget. thank you very, very much!

Dave great tutorial.I hav done a few of your courses but and I always love them. I have 2 questions though. 1 Why was the database connection(return $mysqli) returned in the last line in the database file? 2. Why was the mysqli variable used to store the required directory file ($mysqli = require __DIR__ . "/database.php";) ?
A return statement in an included file returns a value to the require that includes it, so in this case the $mysqli variable is returned when require is called, and assigned to $mysqli in the file that contains the require
Thanks @@dave-hollingworth. Also, I commented on one of your videos where you asked what framework to teach next. Still refining my skills, but a Laravel course would be great.
Hello, I have a suggestion. Could you make a video of how to prevent multiple logins for a single user(because you explain so well). That would be amazing. Thank you for the help as well!
Hi Dave - Thanks for this! It's excellent. Is there a way to expand on this and instead of using 'die' - you can shown the validation messages on the registration page itself? Thanks.
great video helped me massively (especially seen as my lecturers have taught us nothing most of us are learning from you ngl) the only issue i have is that when i go to open this page all i see is a blank screen ive tried it exactly the same as your code and my own tweaks and still the same issue and i have no idea why ive tried all sorts to fix it but wondered if you may have an idea as to why this problem may be? on some machines it works just fine but not others im on windows 10.
hi dave, thank you for the tutorial! ive really had a hard time figure this out with database building, but you have helped me alot. question, if i were to develop my website with this log in function. is their an easy way to make it possible for the admin to register new users. i cant really grasp with how because im already trying to adapt this on my website and my previous created template. but only that is hard for me.. if you could give some pointers where i could get more information that would be great, otherways if you know any easier solution. you are free to reply. but anyways, thank you for this video!
I suggest searching for "PHP CRUD" (which is Create, Read, Update and Delete) for how to do all these to manage records (I don't have a video myself on this yet but I plan to)

This is the best PHP tutorial on TH-cam!
❤️❤️❤️❤️🤜🤛
I've looked at a number of other login and register tutorials. This is the easiest to work with! THANKS

just- validate, I couldn't find (yet) why not.
Check the browser console to see if there are any network errors loading the justValidate library

Brilliant, thank you for the free and open education.

Thank you for how so well you taught this, leaving a chance for improvement from ourselves. Much appreciated.
This is such a great tutorial. You explained everything step by step which is easy to understand.
