It hasn't taken Web developers long to discover that when it comes to creating dynamic, database-driven Web sites, MySQL and PHP provide a winning open-source combination. Add this book to the mix, and there's no limit to the powerful, interactive Web sites that developers can create. With step-by-step instructions, complete scripts, and expert tips to guide readers, veteran author and database designer Larry Ullman gets right down to business: After grounding readers with separate discussions of first the scripting language (PHP) and then the database program (MySQL), he goes on to cover security, sessions and cookies, and using additional Web tools, with several sections devoted to creating sample applications. This guide is indispensable for beginning to intermediate level Web designers who want to replace their static sites with something dynamic. In this edition, the bulk of the new material covers the latest features and techniques with PHP and MySQL. Also new to this edition are chapters introducing jQuery and object-oriented programming techniques.

This review is from: PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide (4th Edition) (Paperback)
I enjoy scripting/programming as a hobby. I know HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT pretty well and have a need for learning to work with databases. I have spent too much time trying to decide what server language to use for programming and finally settled down to learning PHP (after a long battle of indecisiveness between PHP and .NET).This book is well written and expertly explains what one needs to know to get started with PHP and MySQL. The book assumes you know basic Web Development (HTML and CSS) and having a good understanding of javascript will certainly be helpful. The book starts off with PHP fundamentals ... then introduces MySQL fundamentals ... then SQL. It then brings it all together using PHP to work with MySQL, which is the purpose of the book. The examples are very practical as the concepts/code that is used can be seen as general templates necessary for any database website development. If you are new to PHP and/or MySQL this book will...

Larry Ullman in his PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide (4th Edition) provides a well written and very detailed tutorial about how to create dynamic web pages by effectively combining PHP and MySQL. This book provides the basic knowledge of dynamic web site creation presented in an easy-to-understand, quick-to-learn, easy-to-retain style. Moreover, Larry presents the information with relevant examples which can later be used as a toolbox of reusable code for web site developers, a *huge* value-add. The crescendo of his masterpiece is the final chapter which walks the reader through creating a basic e-commerce site.What made his book so appealing to me is that the author walks the reader through his working source code, line by line, and explains what's going on behind the scenes. He also uses repetition (but not to the point of redundancy) to help the reader retain information. The examples are clear and relevant to modern web demands. Larry... Read more
