Product Description

Product Description

Sams¿ PHP and MySQL Web Development, by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson, showed that there is a strong demand for books that describe how to use PHP together with a specific open-source database to develop Web applications.

While MySQL is very popular, PostgreSQL is widely considered to be the more powerful of the two open-source databases. And PostgreSQL is rapidly gaining market share large organizations are beginning to use PostgreSQL instead of Oracle; the demand for PostgreSQL training and support has increased by some accounts 50% in the last six months; and Web hosting services increasingly offer PostgreSQL along with MySQL.

PHP and PostgreSQL Advanced Web Programming focuses on the specific needs of a PostgreSQL developer and will detail how to make use of PostgreSQL¿s unique, advanced features to develop high-availability, fail-safe Web applications with PHP and PostgreSQL.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good coverage, but with many errors, 6 Dec 2002
By C. Davies "Ceri Davies" (Cardiff, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book covers everything you will need to get started with both PHP and PostgreSQL, including a beginner's guide to both.
The coverage is quite in depth, making this a good purchase for those interested in integrating the two technologies. On the content included, this is a 5-star book.

However, the text and example code often contain errors or contradict each other. Two examples that stick out from the introduction to PHP (chapter 3) are printf format strings with no corresponding variables, and a good description of the xor operator unfortunately accompanied by code that directly contradicts it.

This is a real shame, as this would be an excellent book if it has been more thoroughly edited. If you are confident that you can spot simple errors (and most of them are simple), this is still a good purchase.
