More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
In this comprehensive guide to creating an e-commerce Web site using PHP and MySQL, renowned author Larry Ullman walks you through every step—designing the visual interface, creating the database, presenting content, generating an online catalog, managing the shopping cart, handling the order and the payment process, and fulfilling the order—always with security and best practices emphasized along the way. Even if you’re an experienced Web developer, you’re guaranteed to learn something new. The book uses two e-commerce site examples—one based on selling physical products that require shipping and delayed payment, and another that sells non-physical products to be purchased and delivered instantly—so you see the widest possible range of e-commerce scenarios. In 11 engaging, easy-to-follow chapters, Effortless E-Commerce with PHP and MySQL teaches you how to:
• Think of the customer first, in order to maximize sales
• Create a safe server environment and database
• Use secure transactions and prevent common vulnerabilities
• Incorporate different payment gateways
• Design scalable sites that are easy to maintain
• Build administrative interfaces
• Extend both examples to match the needs of your own sites
Larry Ullman is the president of Digital Media and Communications Insights, Inc., a firm specializing in information technology (www.dmcinsights.com). He is the author of several bestselling programming and Web development books, including PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide. Larry also writes articles on these subjects and teaches them in small and large group settings. Despite working with computers, programming languages, databases, and such since the early 1980s, Larry still claims he’s not a computer geek (but he admits he can speak their language).

I got this book as soon as it was published but wish I'd had it a year ago. I've been writing exacly the sort of smaller ecommerce sites described here and having the latest security and coding techniques explained step by step is great. This is not a book for the php/SQL beginner but for someone moving into an new area of programming or looking to update their skills. The tips in the margins scattered liberally throughout the book are great. I've learnt loads just skimming this book.
One thing about computer books is that many of them refer to other pages (often ones you've not got to yet) which is very frustrating, I've not come across that yet here. On top of that, most of the diagrams are in the same page that they are written about - wonderful!

Even though I have decided to use OpenSource software for E-Commerce I have found this book to be a really useful resource so I recommend it.

This book has been an exceptional companion for me whilst developing my new website.
Where it doesn't simply focus on getting out a workable site, but taking you through the steps to make sure that the site you do put out is not only functional, but secure and user friendly.
Larry Ullman has a gift for translating Geek into English and I'm looking forward to his future publication on Javascript! :)
