About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

When downloaded on tablet its got 1375 pages officially but possibly almost double Tablet-pages. The settings are good and compatible. The content is explained in a friendly easy going way but very interesting and professional. The Author is a very good writer maintaining the balance between getting the lesson to you in an understandable way but still assuming the reader is intelligent enough to be taken further (you get your moneys worth)

I didn't know much about php before this book, and has helped me out a lot so far. It covers everything that you possibly need to start up a dynamic database website! Definitely worth the money!

really nice book
