Zend: PHP 101

In this assignment, I followed two different Zend: PHP 101 tutorials to practice my PHP:

  1. In tutorial 5, I created a simple omelette.php script that reads an omelette.txt file by iterating with a foreach loop, stores the contents as an array of lines, and then echoes the results as an HTML file.
  2. In tutorial 8, I created a table of animal symbols with a series of SQL statements in my testdb MySQL database. Afterwards, I wrote an animals.php script that creates a mysqli object to establish a database connection to testdb. The script executes a simple query: "SELECT * FROM symbols;" and echoes out the results as a table in HTML.
You can find snippets of my code for these scripts and their companion files below:
