PHP for the Web is a terrific introduction on how to use modern PHP effectively. While there is a lot of material out there about building applications with PHP, most of them focus on using a framework like Laravel or Symfony. By working with pure PHP, you will be able to focus on the core ideas instead of how a particular framework implements them.

In this course, you will learn how to use multiple web technologies like POST requests, forms, sessions, and redirects to build a CRUD application with an authentication system.

By the end, you will have all the ingredients at your disposal to go out and build stunning, dynamic PHP web applications.

## Adding a test for creating a new tour
We will write tests for the tours in a new file called `tests/ToursTest.php`.

We could start by creating a new tour and verifying if it shows up in the list of tours.
We should use the client to go to `/create-tour`, provide some form data, submit it, and then go to `/list-tours` to verify that the new tour shows up in the list of tours.
