ChatGPT 7 Days Plan → Laravel Basics

Day 1: Local Environment Setup

Goal: Local PHP + MySQL + GUI ready করা।

Tools: Herd, DBngin, MySQL, TablePlus

Steps:

1. Herd install করো (Mac users) বা XAMPP/Laragon (Windows)

2. DBngin দিয়ে MySQL server setup করো

3. TablePlus দিয়ে MySQL connect করো → verify server running

4. Create a test database, e.g., company_test

5. Write a simple PHP script to connect using PDO

   <?php
   $dsn = "mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=company_test";
   $pdo = new PDO($dsn, 'root', '');
   echo "Connected!";

6. Test that it prints “Connected!” in browser

Tip: আজকে শুধু setup confirm করো। Syntax অনেক গুরুত্বপূর্ণ নয় এখন, connection কাজ করলেই হবে।

Day 2: Basic PHP & PDO

Goal: PHP syntax + database connection বোঝা।

Steps:

1. PHP basics: variables, arrays, echo/print, if/else, loops

2. PDO basics: connect, select, insert

3. Practice small CRUD operations in company_test

   • Table: users (id, name, email)
   • Insert one user, fetch all users, update & delete

4. Test queries in TablePlus → see results

---

Day 3: REST API with PHP

Goal: Mini API understanding

Steps:

1. Create api.php handling: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE

2. Use JSON input/output:

   header('Content-Type: application/json');
   echo json_encode(['status' => 'ok']);

3. Test API using Postman

4. Practice: GET all users, POST new user

Tip: Employers love candidates who can make API quickly.

Day 4: Move to Laravel – Setup

Goal: Laravel install + environment ready

Steps:

1. Install Composer (dependency manager)

2. Install Laravel:

   composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel-app

3. Set .env database:

   DB_CONNECTION=mysql
   DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
   DB_PORT=3306
   DB_DATABASE=company_test
   DB_USERNAME=root
   DB_PASSWORD=

4. Test Laravel server:

   php artisan serve

   → Open http://127.0.0.1:8000

---

Day 5: Laravel Basics – Routes & Controllers

Goal: Laravel workflow বোঝা

Steps:

1. Route create করা: routes/web.php

   Route::get('/hello', function() {
       return 'Hello Laravel!';
   });

2. Controller তৈরি করা:

   php artisan make:controller UserController

3. Controller থেকে simple function call করে response দেখাও

---

Day 6: Laravel + Database (Eloquent ORM)

Goal: Laravel database operations

Steps:

1. Create migration & model:

   php artisan make:model User -m

2. Migration modify করে table columns define করো

3. Run migration: php artisan migrate

4. Eloquent practice: insert, fetch, update, delete

   $user = User::create(['name'=>'Mojnu','email'=>'mojnu@example.com']);
   $users = User::all();

---

Day 7: Mini Project & Demo

Goal: Ready for job + portfolio-ready

Steps:

1. Mini CRUD API in Laravel (users)

   • GET /api/users → fetch all
   • POST /api/users → create
   • PUT /api/users/{id} → update
   • DELETE /api/users/{id} → delete

2. Test everything in Postman

3. Prepare a small demo video/screenshots for employer

4. Review Day 1–6, make sure all commands, syntax, Laravel basics ready

---

💡 Extra Tips:

• Focus PDO → Laravel Eloquent (query logic same, syntax different)
• Laravel workflow: Routes → Controller → Model → Migration → Views
• Always test on Postman or browser
