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 intermediate- to advanced 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 versions of both technologies: PHP 6 (due out in 2008) and MySQL 5 (available now). The book's publication date is likely to beat the official release of PHP 6, making it one of the first books available on the subject.
Excellent ReadReviewed by Mr. Sf Lissauer, 2010-02-24
I was simply looking for a book to teach me the basics of PHP and
MYSQL. This book is amazing! It's just what I needed and I am
already mastering php on page 50 of 600. Every day I work through
this book and what would usually be a chore is really fun. The
guided code tutorials and the way in which this book is teaching me
is excellent, it's like having a personal tutor. This book is
teaching me in a way in which I can understand and most importantly
enjoy :D.
I must also mention that I tried using php and mysql for dummies
but, it just doesn't compare in the way it teaches! I am a student,
recommended to anyone wanting a future career as a web
professional. It has screenshots, code comments and guided
tutorials.
Excellent for PHP beginner!Reviewed by Lance Lester, 2010-01-13
I took a class in PHP in the Fall 09 semester that used "PHP
6/MySQL For The Absolute Beginner" and found it to be extremely
difficult for a "beginner" book. The examples were not "real world"
applications and were very hard to follow. However, I did learn a
few thing in that class.
To build on the little I did get out of that book I bought this
book and I'm glad I did. It takes you step-by-step through examples
explaining what you are doing, and most importantly why and where
you would use them.
The way this book is written it is very easy to follow along with
and would be perfect for someone brand new to PHP, SQL and MySQL.
Buy in print , terrible slow on KindleReviewed by David Dewitt, 2009-10-31
The book in great. But don't buy it for your Kindle DX. It is terrible slow. I guess due to the size of the book.
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! It's full of bad code.Reviewed by Steve, 2009-10-27
This book is full of coding errors. I completed an errata form on
the first one I found and, at the same time, wrote to Peachpit
about my disappointment. They rudely replied just to complete an
errata form. No "sorry about that" or anything.
I was going to continue entering the new errors I keep finding.
But, why should I have to buy this cruddy book and PAY THEM for the
privilege of doing their quality control and editing for them?!
