Product Description

Product Description

Appropriate for all courses in open source Web development with Apache, MySQL, and/or PHP.

This book brings together coverage of the newest versions of three popular open-source Web development tools in one easy-to-understand book. Julie C. Meloni teaches students everything they need to know to create and manage dynamic Web sites. No experience is necessary, except for basic familiarity with creating HTML Web pages. Meloni walks through installing, configuring, and using the PHP 5 scripting language, the MySQL 4.x database system, and the Apache 2 Web server. Then, one step a time, Meloni shows how to combine these technologies to quickly create a Web site and several simple interactive Web applications, including discussion forums, mailing list managers, online address books, shopping carts, and e-commerce storefronts. The book also teaches students how to fine-tune Apache and MySQL, and even covers simple Web server security. This new Second Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect significant changes in the latest versions of PHP, MySQL, and Apache. It also comes with an easy-to-use Starter Kit CD-ROM that makes it easy for students to install a safe and foolproof learning environment for either Windows or Linux-based PCs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for a beginner, 30 Aug 2003
By N. R. Kitchen "Offline" (Solihull, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL and Apache in 24 Hours (Sams Teach Yourself in 24 Hours) (Paperback)
I bought this book to get me started with PHP. I've used all the other web development languages like JSP and ASP before, but having heard good things about PHP I decided to give it a shot.

This book will give you a great introduction to PHP. I managed to install the included version of PHP /Apache without any hassle at all.The book covers accessing data from MySQL and gives you a quick and concise tutorial on SQL queries. Also covered is uploading, security, dates and times, php classes, and cookies/sessions.

I honestly can't believe that they managed to cover everything I can think of doing in a book this small. And its pretty good value for money as well.

If you are looking at getting into PHP, buy this book and you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 7 May 2006
By Tom Turton (Plymouth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: "Sams" Teach Yourself PHP, My SQL and Apache All in One (Sams Teach Yourself All in One) (Paperback)
'SAMS Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL and Apache' is a brilliant guide whether you are a complete beginner or a pro.

I bought this with only prior knowledge of HTML and managed to sucessfully learn PHP with MySQL in a few weeks using only this book. A year later I am still using this book as a good reference.

The author covers everything from setting up a local server with Apache to manipulating images using PHP. And most importantly, talking to a MySQL database from PHP.
If you had no idea what I was just talking about don't worry because the book covers it all. There is also a handful of example projects to do using what you've learned from earlier on in the book.


I would recommend that you have at least some experience with programming, but it's not essential. However I would suggest learning HTML (or even better, XHTML) is essential before learning any server-side language, not just PHP.

2.0 out of 5 stars Teach Yourself? You might as well..., 30 Nov 2004
By A Customer
Having bought many a title from the Sam's Teach Yourself range, I took this home keen to learn how to create dynamic web pages.

This book does do that, if you can get through the installation process. I eventually figured it out, but following the step-by-step guide for installing Apache led me down completely the wrong path.

The indexing in this book is poor, and the coverage of what MySQL can do, although stretching for many pages, is quite low.

But perhaps the most annoying discrepancy is the huge contradiction running throughout the book. The opening pages ensure the user that they will need "no programming skills, although some C++ would be an advantage". Great! But at the beginning of the MySQL chapter, it is assumed that the reader has "some knowledge of issuing SQL commands through MySQL". Actually no, I don't. That's kind of why I bought the book?!?

Getting this book will provide the user with a small understanding of PHP and MySQL, but there are many far better than this.
