PHP and MySQL Web Development (4th Edition)

PHP and MySQL are popular open-source technologies that are ideal for quickly developing database-driven Web applications. PHP is a powerful scripting language designed to enable developers to create highly featured Web applications quickly, and MySQL is a fast, reliable database that integrates well with PHP and is suited for dynamic Internet-based applications.

PHP and MySQL Web Development shows how to use these tools together to produce effective, interactive Web applications. It clearly describes the basics of the PHP language, explains how to set up and work with a MySQL database, and then shows how to use PHP to interact with the database and the server.

This practical, hands-on book includes numerous examples that demonstrate common tasks such as authenticating users, constructing a shopping cart, generating PDF documents and images dynamically, sending and managing email, facilitating user discussions, connecting to Web services using XML, and developing Web 2.0 applications with Ajax-based interactivity.

The fourth edition of PHP and MySQL Web Development has been thoroughly updated, revised, and expanded to cover developments in PHP 5 through version 5.3, such as namespaces and closures, as well as features introduced in MySQL 5.1.

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-12-2009; Very well put together; I have not completed it as yet, but so far it seems very well written........exactly what I was looking for. Good foundation, backed up by many practical examples.; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-05-2009; Having just skimmed the book - I dare to rate it; I am guessing that this book is a good addition to "PHP & MySQL Web Development All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))" Which I also bought recently. At the moment I have only skimmed it shortly but it looks...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-01-2009; Great resource; Great book! Covers most everything you need to know about creating PHP and MySQL driven solutions. This book has replaced several others I've used for a while. I would highly recommend this book.; read full review | report as inappropriate

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Feb-20-2007; Have it, don't use it much; I don't have a real reason for not using it other than everything I've wanted to do I could find decent examples on the web. So to be fair, I don't know if it's a good book or not. Thus the middle of the road 3 star rating.; read full review | report as inappropriate
