The book has been written to provide genuine domain knowledge to programmers who wish to learn web based, application development, using object oriented PHP 5.1 as the programming environment. IIS and Apache as the web servers of choice. With a clutch of DBMS as the data store underlay for the applications developed. All run on M.S. Windows and Linux. These are today's programming environments of choice.
This is an adaptation of Jason Gilmore’s best-selling book, Beginning PHP and MySQL. It’s a recognition of the growing use of PHP with commercial databases, Oracle in particular, enabling readers in Oracle-based shops to learn PHP on their chosen platform. Supplying the Oracle expertise is Bob Bryla, co-author of the Oracle Database 10g DBA Handbook and many other titles. His easy-going and straightforward style is an excellent match for Jason’s, making their book one of the best things going for those wanting to learn about using PHP with Oracle.

* This best-selling title has comprehensive discussions about PHP 5, MySQL 5, and how these two popular open source technologies work together to create powerful websites. * Updated to reflect the new features found in MySQL’s most significant release to date. Readers are introduced to advanced database features like triggers, stored procedures, and views. They learn how to integrate these new capabilities into their PHP-driven web applications. The book also discusses PHP’s new MySQL extension, mysqli, which is required for MySQL versions 4.1 and higher. * Packed with hundreds of practical examples covering all aspects of web development, including forms management, templating, database integration, Web services, security, and session handling.
This is the third edition of the highly practical work that offers a comprehensive introduction to two of the most prominent open source technologies on the planet: the PHP scripting language and the MySQL database server. In this incarnation, W. Jason Gilmore’s book has been updated to cover the new features in PHP as that language makes the very significant jump from version 5 to version 6. Essentially three books in one, readers not only profit from extensive introductions to the core features of each technology, but also learn how to effectively integrate the two in order to build robust data-driven applications. The book is packed with practical examples and insight into the real-world challenges faced by developers.
This book is intended for anyone starting out with PHP programming. If you’ve previously worked in another programming language such as Java, C#, or Perl, you’ll probably pick up the concepts in the earlier chapters quickly; however, the book assumes no prior experience of programming or of building Web applications. That said, because PHP is primarily a Web technology, it will help if you have at least some knowledge of other Web technologies, particularly HTML and CSS. Many Web applications make use of a database to store data, and this book contains three chapters on working with MySQL databases. Once again, if you’re already familiar with databases in general — and MySQL in particular — you’ll be able to fly through these chapters. However, even if you’ve never touched a database before in your life, you should still be able to pick up a working knowledge by reading through these chapters.
A collection of over 250 PHP functions with clear explanations in language anyone can understand, followed with as many examples as it takes to understand what the function does and how it works. This book includes numerous additional tips, the basics of PHP, MySQL query examples, regular expressions syntax, and two indexes to help you find information faster: a common language index and a function index. When the internet is not around or you want a simpler explanation along with all the technical details, this book has all of that and more.
