■ IF/THEN/ELSE conditionals.

■ For loops.

■ While loops.

■ Reading and writing files on the system.

■ GET and POST variables.

■ Functions.

■ Including other PHP files.

But, I urge you—don’t just look them up and memorize how they work. Come up with a problem and then solve it! Everything I’ve learned in PHP started with a Google search like, “How do I display large numbers with commas in PHP”, or “How do I round numbers in PHP”, or even “How do I multithread queries in PHP for parallel processing?” (That last one is by far the most complex thing I’ve done so far!)

PHP coding is incredibly fun. I can’t believe I’m saying that, but it’s true. If you love Bash and can’t imagine living without it, I suspect you’ll love PHP, because it’s a lot like Bash, but a Web browser gets to be the input/output mechanism! If you’d like me to do more project-based learning with programming languages, please let me know. I’d love a reason to come up with fun projects, but it only makes sense if everyone wants to play along!■
