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.

PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro GuideI have just completed this book and will now be moving on to apply what I learned on my website. If you are familiar with HTML/XHTML then this is the book for you, this book is well written and is good for both beginners and advanced programmers alike. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn PHP6 & MYSQL 5.

This author is trying to make money off of by selling a misrepresentation that PHP 6 was due out soon. It claims that PHP 6 was due out in 2008 but there was never a set release date or even target for PHP 6. In fact most of the features for PHP 6 has been ported to a version of PHP 5. This book is going to be a complete misrepresentation of the final product that PHP 6 will be. In fact there are more features in the upcoming php 5.3 that are hugely important (namespaces and closures) that were implemented in php 5.3 before they were even a twinkle in this books' eyes. I think I'll write a PHP 7 book full of bs and sell it for more money.

I have been trying to implement a simple to moderately complex PHP/mysql/website for some time and have searched all over the 'net' looking for simple practical ways to implement such a web site with PHP and mysql. I have purchased several books, and have tried demo versions of software that 'build' sites for you, but my lack of expertise in PHP makes it impossible to edit or customize the generated sites for my purpose. For newbies (and not OOP geeks) looking to learn PHP, this book is excellent and well written and will probably be my last 'shot' at building the site that currently exists only in my mind. But as the 1 to 3 star reviews point out, it is definitely a learning tool, not a reference book. Also, it does take time to get used to the two column format and the small print - but the effort is well worth it. (You can download all the scripts and view them in a 'php text editor' of your choice - that definitely helps when reading the book). And the scripts have lots of comments so reading and comprehending what they are doing and how they do it is fairly easy to accomplish. To conclude, if you cannot learn the basics of PHP and MYSQL from this book, and put together a simple web site, then you (and I) should probably find another hobby!
