Product Description
Product Description
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.

Can I start by saying that i have a great deal of respect for Larry Ullman. This title along with PHP for the World Web (For beginners) are excellent titles for learning PHP & MySQL.
My only criticism is that he could have spent more time updating the examples. The main eCommerce example is one for a gallery, which has not changed as far as I can see for the last three editions. I just think its a bit lazy adding a few chapters and putting a smart new cover and selling it as completely revised and updated.
Still the best guide out there, but please spent more time on the updates.

I have bought an awful lot of books on PHP and MYSQL (and in computing in general). This book is different as it tackles teaching you the concepts of coding through meaningful practical examples. This is what you would normally do if taking a college or university course. It helps put everything into context so that you can then understand where to apply these concepts in your own projects. The author has also provided TIP boxes which provide additional explanations of where and why you would use a certain concept in your web design (PHP & MySql). Fortunately, Larry doesn't distract the reader by attempting to explain HTML or CSS principles which would water down the book and detract from PHP and MySql. Instead he leaves the reader to research these as separate subjects of which there are many resources. This helps the reader and author to remain focussed on the main subjects of PHP and MySql.
I regard this book as one of a few pivotal texts that have succeeded in demystifying many coding concepts and has taken me to the next level of understanding. This is one of those very useful books that I shall keep referring to for a long time.
