Prepare for real goals

• Browse PHP interview questions by topic and save questions for review.
• Run an interview mock session and review your results.
• Test your knowledge with PHP quizzes and certificate flows.
• Build guided PHP projects one step at a time, with beginner and intermediate paths.

Make practice consistent

Ratings and reviews

Quite good, in that it has a local server and php interpreter. The red crossed circles by some lessons mean they can't be edited, and I found this is because the more resource-heavy commands have been omitted - so these lessons are not run, and just text. A fair compromise. Starts as functional; turns into object-oriented, which is really cool. Does lack an explanatory background text and challenges to solve.

My LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you. I love the app primarily for offline internal viewer (output) which make it easy for me to code with my phone at no cost. I would love you to add the following features; 1. Save/open files 2. Autocomplete code 3. Keyboard syntax 4. Syntax highlighting 5.Parse error should state exactly the line of error. If I have error on line 2 it will say error is on line 3 instead of 2. Etc Add more details to your 'About' the app.

I rate it one 🌟 because it doesn't have any editor as it professes to have. So how do I build my websites? The only feature it's got is already written codes, which is basically just for learning of which though it was a reason why I had to download and then install it but the major reason which is the practical part (building websites etc.) is out of the scope of this very app. So please I urge you to work on this app on this angle.
