I suggest the following examples for each PHP session.

PHP - 1

1. Hello World, from http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.firstpage.php
2. PHP System Information, from 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.firstpage.php

PHP - 2

1. Printing a Variable, from http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.useful.php
2. Example using control structures and functions, from 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.useful.php

PHP - 3

1. HTML forms and printing form data, from 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.forms.php

1. MySQL database application - Similar to the accounts application in python 
lab session.

Vijay,

Thanks for the suggestion :) I'm working on it. I've prepared the first 4 
sessions with the topics split as follows:

PHP - 1

1. Hello World, from http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.firstpage.php
2. PHP System Information, from 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.firstpage.php
3. String manipulation: Printing number of words in the string (just for an 
exposure to in-built functions in PHP)
4. Basic form handling: Printing the form data (in the same page)

PHP - 2 (php-1.txt in the last commit)

1. Generating a form using PHP (control structures for drop-down list)
2. Getting the form data and inserting into mysql database

PHP - 3

1. Validating form data using regular expressions
2. Sending back the error details to form page and printing them

PHP - 4

1. Generating a login form
2. Fetching data from database and matching with user data

PHP - 5

Not yet come up with any exact idea. I guess a simple assignment will be good.

The way i organised the topics was with the intention of having coherence among 
the sessions, rather than typical sample exercises. Feedbacks are welcome :)
