1. Hello World, from http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.firstpage.php
2. PHP System Information, from

PHP - 2

1. Printing a Variable, from

Vijay,

Thanks for the suggestion :) I'm working on it. I've prepared the first 4
sessions with the topics split as follows:

PHP - 1

1. Hello World, from http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.firstpage.php
2. PHP System Information, from
http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.firstpage.php

3. String manipulation: Printing number of words in the string (just for an
exposure to in-built functions in PHP)
4. Basic form handling: Printing the form data (in the same page)

PHP - 2 (php-1.txt in the last commit)

1. Generating a form using PHP (control structures for drop-down list)
2. Getting the form data and inserting into mysql database

PHP - 3

1. Validating form data using regular expressions
2. Sending back the error details to form page and printing them

PHP - 4

1. Generating a login form
2. Fetching data from database and matching with user data

PHP - 5

Not yet come up with any exact idea. I guess a simple assignment will be
good.

The way i organised the topics was with the intention of having coherence
among the sessions, rather than typical sample exercises. Feedbacks are
welcome :)
