Product Description

Review

A worthy effort to introduce the programming and database neophyte into the world of dynamic website design. --millionchimpanzees.blogspot.com, September 2009

A great introduction to the technologies at the basis of the Web. You will both enjoy this book and learn from it.
--Pascal Borghino, Database Architect for Yahoo! Inc

Product Description

If you know HTML, this guide will have you building interactive websites quickly. You'll learn how to create responsive, data-driven websites with PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript, regardless of whether you already know how to program. Discover how the powerful combination of PHP and MySQL provides an easy way to build modern websites complete with dynamic data and user interaction. You'll also learn how to add JavaScript to create rich Internet applications and websites.

Learning PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript explains each technology separately, shows you how to combine them, and introduces valuable web programming concepts, including objects, XHTML, cookies, and session management. You'll practice what you've learned with review questions in each chapter, and find a sample social networking platform built with the elements introduced in this book.

This book will help you:

  • Understand PHP essentials and the basics of object-oriented programming
  • Master MySQL, from database structure to complex queries
  • Create web pages with PHP and MySQL by integrating forms and other HTML features
  • Learn about JavaScript, from functions and event handling to accessing the Document Object Model
  • Use libraries and packages, including the Smarty web template system, PEAR program repository, and the Yahoo! User Interface Library
  • Make Ajax calls and turn your website into a highly dynamic environment
  • Upload and manipulate files and images, validate user input, and secure your applications

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written., 15 Feb 2011
This review is from: Learning PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Dynamic Websites (Paperback)
The author Robin Nixon succeeded in creating a basic standard book to get even the most novice of readers on the ladder to creating dynamic websites. If you are looking at the book I assume you already have HTML knowledge, that's all you need (don't even need this really); the format of the book is layed out step by step, and is easy to read. I recommend this book.
Only not 5 stars because a few things for the beginner could have gone into more depth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Read For All Level Of Programmer, 27 Sep 2010
This review is from: Learning PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Dynamic Websites (Paperback)
I am a third year student at university studying computer science and I read this book over the summer to refresh my memory and solidify the skills I have learned from the last two years. This is one of the best books I have read on the subjects and I am always using it for quick refernce when coding.

I would and have recomended this book to several of my friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for both beginners and amateurs!, 19 Jan 2010
By 
This review is from: Learning PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Dynamic Websites (Paperback)
I had general knowledge in PHP from modding and experimenting with Wordpress themes. HTML and CSS wasn't new to me - I work as a web designer, but I'm not perfect with javascript. SQL scared me.

This new O'Reily book filled in my blanks - gave me facts and tips about PHP developing and more self confidence in playing around with MySQL in PHPmyAdmin.

I'd say the things you need to be a great PHP web-developer are experience in HTML+CSS, a great idea, and this book :)
