Parts 5 and 8 from the PHP 101 tutorials are focused here. PHP 101 is a tutorial series that teaches PHP to someone who is a beginner that has never heard of it before. It covers the basics of SQL to more intermediate topics that everyone should know when it comes to using the programming language.
Part 5 of the series focuses on reading/writing from an external file using PHP. The lesson is split up into different sections that teach the reader the code for each operation of file handling, including reading, writing, and displaying the content on the webpage.
