W. Jason Gilmore: Beginning PHP and MySQL 5

From Novice to Professional

Learn how to build dynamic, database-driven websites with two of the world's most popular open-source technologies


W. Jason Gilmore is author as well as editor but, first and foremost, he is a technologist and open source technology is his business. For the past seven years he has developed countless PHP and MySQL applications. He is the author of three books on open source topics and became the Open Source Editorial Director for the computer book publisher Apress. However, more importantly to his readership certainly is that as an open source enthusiast Mr. Gilmore is open to any questions readers might face while perusing the book. He states to love reader email and his advice will be available at www.wjgilmore.com.


About the Book

PHP 5 has been another watershed in the evolution of the world's most popular scripting language. It is a powerful tool to create dynamic websites which becomes even more powerful in combination with a mighty database, such as MySQL. Both technologies have become essential to the world wide web and as open source software they are permanently enhanced. Moreover, with the right book it is also easy to learn how to make use of them.

In fact, 'Beginning PHP and MySQL 5' provides three books in one: First, it is a thourough introduction to PHP as well as, second, to MySQL and, third, it provides the necessary knowledge on how to effectively combine the two technologies.

The introduction on PHP, for instance, will allow you to make your very first PHP-programmed text line appear on the screen. There are introductory chapters on both PHP and MySQL as well as chapters dealing with the installation and configuration of both technologies on the Linux and the Windows operating system. From the very start onwards you will learn how to use PHP and MySQL to create up-to-date websites.

Nevertheless, the book requires some basic understanding of programming. Indeed, if you are a novice to programming and got no idea of web programming and databases at all you are best recommended to take a detour to any introductory book to learn the very basics before you turn to this book. Eventually, the book's focus lies on the more advanced development of dynamic and database-driven websites.

At this, the book proves to be a hands-on tutorial giving you the opportunity to get your hands dirty with programming. There are more than 500 code samples available for download at www.apress.com to make you experience the possibilites these technologies have to offer.


As a Second Edition...

Not only is this book a carefully revised and modified sequence of its first edition but also it is a necessary extension concerning the open source community's latest developments on PHP and MySQL.

This update on both technologies resulted in seven additional chapters. Three of these chapters deal with PHP-specific topics including the PEAR and the PDO extensions for example. The other four chapters are devoted to the PHP 5 mysqli extension, MySQL 5's new stored routine and MySQL triggers, for instance.

All in all, the book contains 37 chapters which need not be read in a sequential way because the single chapters are well compartmentalised and form independent thematic sections making the book an easy-to-use reference to the different topics around PHP and MySQL. Each of the chapters is finished with a small summary.


Summary

The book is easy to read and Gilmore's writing may sometimes even raise a smile and make you forget you are actually reading a programming book.

So, if you are a programmer looking for a guide on how to combine PHP and MySQL in order to produce powerful dynamic, database-driven websites there is no need to hesitate. According to the author, this book will prove useful not only the first time you peruse, but far into the future. This second edition is that one volume that explains it all. And so it does.

James Cox, Alison Gianotto, Christopher Harsham, Krzysztof Karski, James McMurry, Dennis Salguero, Daniel Solin, Bryan Waters: The MySQL Transactions and Replication Handbook

MySQL today offers a rich and very useful set of functionality that simply did not exist in previous versions. Many developers felt that a lack of transactional support was a serious shortcoming in the design of a SQL database. However, recently, MySQL has begun to provide full transactional support to facilitate the development of e-commerce and other robust business-critical applications. The MySQL transaction handbook is a reference volume on the transaction features of the MySQL Database. The MySQL Transaction handbook will serve to educate the reader on Transaction strategies that may be undertaken with MySQL, from the point of view of the application as well as from the administration. A detailed discussion of how Transaction has been implemented will be included, to inform readers as to the extent of Transaction support and inform them of its strengths and weaknesses. It will also cover the configuration options for transactions, along with a detailed analysis of each. It will also include coverage on transaction trouble shooting and disaster recovery planning and practice.
