This book is a hands-on guide to learning all the tools, principles, and techniques needed to build a fully functional database-driven Web site using PHP and MySQL from scratch. PHP & MySQL are the most widely used open source database and scripting technologies on the Web today. As a Web developer you can demand a lot more $$$ for your time if you can master PHP & MySQL. Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL is a practical hands-on guide to learning all the tools, principles and techniques needed to build a fully functional database driven Website using PHP & MySQL. This book covers everything from installing PHP & MySQL under Windows, Linux, and Mac through to building a live Web-based content management system. While this is essentially a beginners book, it also covers more advanced topics such as the storage of binary data in MySQL, and cookies and sessions in PHP. It comes complete with a set of handy reference guides for PHP & MySQL which include: - MySQL Syntax - MySQL Functions - MySQL Column Types, and - PHP Functions for working with MySQL, and more. Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL also includes download access to all the code samples used throughout the book so you can adapt them to your own custom Web solutions.  Preface Preface Welcome to PHP! This book has been written to be as comprehensive and as accessible as a book on PHP can be. It puts the power of PHP to work for you, pushing the envelope as far as it can go. The best way to learn any topic like PHP is by example, and this is an example-oriented book. You ll find dozens of tested examples here, ready to go to work. PHP is quickly gaining popularity these days. Web page authors are requiring more and more power, and PHP is the answer. Not content to simply handle web pages in browsers any more, people are turning to the server side to do things you just can t do in a browser. Using PHP, you have total control over your web applications and the good part is that they re not any harder to write than a typical web page. PHP is an amazing package, and you re getting into it at the right time, when the excitement level is soaring. You ll see more PHP here than in any similar book, doing things you won t see other places, such as drawing images on-the-fly on the server and then sending them back to the browser. Who Should Read This Book? This book is for you if you truly want to develop all the power of web applications. If you want to start using cookies instead of just having your browser accept them, if you want to handle buttons, text fields, check boxes and more in your web pages, if you want to track users with sessions, or if you want to connect to a database on the server, then look no further. This book lets you take control of the server side of things. In addition, this book is specially written so that you don t need a lot of experience to use it. The only real requirement for this book is familiarity with HTML. You don t need to be an HTML expert, but you ll need to know some.  php|architect's Zend PHP 5 Certification Study Guide, edited and produced by the publishers of php|architect magazine, provides the most comprehensive and thorough preparation tool for developers who wish to take the exam.

PHP is far more than a cult language or open-source icon. It's a
remarkably capable language that's well integrated with lots of
technologies--notably mSQL and MySQL database servers--and quite easy
to learn. Programming PHP
helps you up the PHP learning curve, very nearly guaranteeing that
you'll find in its pages an example that illustrates every fundamental
aspect of the language and its most important extension modules. Plus,
there's some cool advanced stuff, like recipes for manipulating images,
working with Extensible Markup Language (XML) content, and generating
Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files. Rasmus Lerdorf invented PHP and quarterbacks
its ongoing evolution, so there's little question of the content's
authority. The authors use a Talmudic style to explore PHP's
capabilities and explain them to their readers, meaning that they like
to present code and commentary in close formation, with each enhancing
the other. Typically, they'll present a capability generically and show
the relevant code. Then they'll dig into variations on the theme,
calling attention to required code alterations as they go. This is a
book about PHP itself, so practically no attention is paid to PHP
Builder or other development tools. Regardless, this book will help you
solve programming challenges with PHP, and enable you to write
efficient, attractive code. --David Wall  Being highly flexible in building dynamic, database-driven web
applications makes the PHP programming language one of the most popular
web development tools in use today. It also works beautifully with
other open source tools, such as the MySQL database and the Apache web
server. However, as more web sites are developed in PHP, they become
targets for malicious attackers, and developers need to prepare for the
attacks. Security is an issue that demands attention, given the growing frequency of attacks on web sites. Essential PHP Security
explains the most common types of attacks and how to write code that
isn't susceptible to them. By examining specific attacks and the
techniques used to protect against them, you will have a deeper
understanding and appreciation of the safeguards you are about to learn
in this book. In the much-needed (and highly-requested) Essential PHP Security,
each chapter covers an aspect of a web application (such as form
processing, database programming, session management, and
authentication). Chapters describe potential attacks with examples and
then explain techniques to help you prevent those attacks. Topics covered include: - Preventing cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
- Protecting against SQL injection attacks
- Complicating session hijacking attempts
You are in good hands with author Chris Shiflett, an
internationally-recognized expert in the field of PHP security.
Shiflett is also the founder and President of Brain Bulb, a PHP
consultancy that offers a variety of services to clients around the
world. |
