PHP Index - PHP Book :
Create Dynamic Web Pages Using PHP and MySQL
by David Tansley Paperback: 304 pages Dimensions (in inches): 1.07 x 9.24 x 7.39 Publisher: Addison-Wesley Pub Co ISBN: 0201734028; 1st edition (May 15, 2002) Rather than providing a complete guide to the PHP language, Tansley (a systems administrator) focuses on only those aspects necessary to create dynamic web pages. Tansley prefers Linux, and anticipates mainly a Linux audience. The areas covered in the book include form processing, passing information between forms, file uploads to the web server, cookies, session management, mailing clients, database applications, and web authentication. Customer Reviews Reviewer: A reader from College Station, TX United States I am learning quite a lot about using PHP and MySQL to create webpages, as the title promises, but the challenge is fighting my way through the lackadasical copyediting. When a six-line script has two typoes in it, as does one on page 29, it doesn't exactly fill me with confidence as to the rest of the scripts. Hopefully the second edition will be copyedited a little more closely. Reviewer: Philip Smears from Liverpool, UK For a beginner like me the book was just great and I appreciated having the CD so I could easily copy and paste the code snippets. It could have assumed more than just a linux audience as there were one or two difficulties I faced as a windows user. Reviewer: Michael Sims from Glen Burnie, MD USA I suppose as a beginner, my knowledge is already pretty advanced. At least, the concepts are familiar. Typos in the editing aside, this book isn't bad. I thought the CD was a waste, since all of this software is easily obtainable on the web, and contributed to the cost of the book. I had already purchased Beginning PHP 4 from wrox and everything covered in Mr Tansley's book was available in there. I thought that book was superior as a reference and introduction to the concepts of PHP and mySQL, and would recommend it first. If you are looking for a book (as I still am) that details more database development on the backend to create a site, this is not the book. Don't be mislead by the title to assume into believing it marries mySQL and PHP from the beginning. Reviewer: tom18407 from Mundelein, IL USA I have used ASP for a couple of years now and wanted to learn PHP as well. "Creating Dynamic Webpages Using PHP and MySQL" is aimed at a beginner. It has been VERY helpful! |
