PHP Index - PHP Book :
MySQL and PHP From Scratch
by Wade Maxfield Paperback: 372 pages Dimensions (in inches): 0.89 x 9.12 x 7.36 Publisher: Que ISBN: 0789724405; 1st edition (November 16, 2000) Explains how to customize some popular applications that provide Internet services. More specifically, the author integrates Linux, the MySQL database, the Apache web server, the PHP server language, and the Internet mail program (IMP) to build a web-based email server. Book Description: Apache, MySQL, PHP3, and IMP... the pieces exist. Each piece has been described ad nauseam. What does not exist is a guide to the marriage of these software technologies into a useful book, until now. This book puts together information on installing, setting up, and troubleshooting each of these technologies into one complete volume. You also learn how each piece is part of a whole by learning, step-by-step, how to create a web-based e-mail system. Learn to run the Linux equivalent of Active Server Pages (ASP) using PHP3, set up an e-commerce site using a database and the Apache web server, and create a data entry system (such as sales, product quality tracking, customer preferences, etc) that requires no installation in the PC. Book Info: Teaches MySQL and PHP in the context of building a real, working application. This gives the reader a chance to learn the entire process, from scratch, but in a hands-on, engaging way. Teaches key concepts and terminology, offering interesting side notes on related subjects that pertain to the topic at hand. Customer Reviews Reviewer: Alan Heffernan from Gaithersburg, MD USA Maxfield did a good job of explaining how to set up and integrate MySQL, Apache, and PHP, creating a development platform under UNIX. But Appendix A, which is more than half the book, is not much more helpful than the PHP Manual. Reviewer: Jimmy Reiher This book could not possibly be better for simply looking up syntax. If you already know how to program this is perfect. The only weak point is the printf format syntax, though even that is decent. Reviewer: A reader from Champaign, IL United States This book is not very helpful. It spends one third of its content to cover specific installations, almost other two thirds for an appendix of PHP term listing. I don't think it delivers the purpose as its titile says. Reviewer: Adam Daniel from Antigua, West Indies I bought this book hoping to learn PHP and MySQL from scratch....that didn't happen. This is not a tutorial, unless you want to set up a web based e-mail client that is. I do use this book as a syntax reference quite often but I could have printed that out from the web. Save your money. |
