Congratulations! You've come a long way since the start of this course. There is still much to learn on your journey of programming. One of the best parts is, that journey never ends. Hurry back to join me on the next step of the journey here at Treehouse.

Make sure you join the Beginner PHP Track where you'll find the next course in your journey: PHP Arrays and Control Structures

Additional Project Ideas

  1. Change a message based on time of day. If can be helpful to tell customers looking at your site if your store is closing soon or closed for the day. The date() function will also give you the current hour so you can use that to customize a message. If the time is not displaying properly for you timezone, you can also look at the date_default_timezone_set function
  2. Additional Conversions. Try additional conversions such as Length... Area... Liquid... Volume... Energy... Acceleration... Mass... Pressure... Velocity.
  3. Create a Mad Libs game by replacing a string with your own variables.
