by JonoBacon (Author)
Practical PHP and MySQL reflects Jono's commitment to the spirit of making open source subjects accessible to everyone. The book carefully walks you through the code for eight useful, dynamic Web applications. Projects are presented in a playful way, like the forum project that touts horror movies that make you 'hide behind the couch.'

Book Overview: This book provides a fast path to developing dynamic Web sites using PHP and MySQL through a series of real-world, practical case studies for common types of Web applications. Each application is written from scratch and guides the reader every step of the way to design, code, and build the application. While there are many books that teach PHP and MySQL, this approach is unique. The case study format lends itself to the reader taking the knowledge and building their own applications. The book also uses the case studies as firm ground to build on - the reader not only gets a book, but also gets eight complete Web applications to extend, improve, and experiment with. Another difference is that this book teaches the core subjects required for the majority of common Web applications, and concentrates on these subnjects, instead of trying to cover every last feature. Finally, the accompanying DVD provides a safe environment for the reader to play around with, right on the DVD.
