When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

Overall, a decent course for understanding PHP integration, though not very in-depth

Reviewed on Dec 31, 2025

Since the course assumes some basic XHTML and PHP understanding, complete beginners might feel the pace picks up quickly — but those with core basics already find it quite smooth.

Reviewed on Dec 24, 2025

I liked how there were exercises around file I/O and connecting to a MySQL database. Seeing data show up in XHTML tables made the learning stick.
