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 intermediate- to advanced 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 versions of both technologies: PHP 6 (due out in 2008) and MySQL 5 (available now). The book's publication date is likely to beat the official release of PHP 6, making it one of the first books available on the subject.

This is the best book on PHP scripting that I have found to date. It provided me with a lot of good information and enabled me to learn php to the extent to be able to effectively develop server side scripts. I am an experienced programmer, but feel this book is good for those who have limited programming or scripting knowledge. I was a bit disappointed in the depth of coverage, ie not enough for me. As an example, it covered how to set up a script to email information, but it did not cover how to attach a file to the email. I would recommend this book, but like most subjects, multiple sources of information are needed.

An excellent book, for beginner to intermediate range, as the author states, with no OOP as also the author states in page xii. Helpfull for teaching Dynamic Web sites with PHP and MySQL.

PHP and MySQL For Dynamic Web Sites is one heck of a book for both beginner and advanced users of PHP and MySQL. If you are an advanced user you will probably find more than just a couple things that can speed up your coding techniques and you may even just learn something new that you didn't know before. If you are a beginner user then the book will take you step by step from the beginning of learning how to use PHP and MySQL.
The book starts out with the fundamentals of PHP with basic syntax. From there you end up going through basically everything there is to know about PHP untill you get to the introduction to MySQL which will start you out just like the PHP chapters with basic syntax. Once you have gone through both sections of PHP and MySQL introductions you will then start to learn how to put both together to start making websites. From there you will gain more and more knowledge, hints, tips, and shortcuts to optimize and create professional PHP and MySQL code for a ... Read More

If you're looking for a book on this subject then look no further. Not only is the author clear and concise, even more importantly, he is responsive. There is a companion website with all the sample code and support forums. Don't be a twit and ask the author to debug your code for you but if you have a valid question, don't hesitate to ask. I've found the author to be very responsive, friendly and knowledgeable. The support alone makes the purchase worth it. Throw in a good book and it's a deal that can't be beat.

The author teaches a complicated subject in plain English. I needed to learn PHP quickly and had practically every question answered on how to write PHP code and create a database.
The very few questions I had remaining were found on the author's website where a message board exists. The board is also supportive if you run into problems or have questions.
It was also a plus that I was able to download the scripts from the site instead of having to type them.
