  Appropriate for all courses in open source Web development with Apache, MySQL, and/or PHP. This book brings together coverage of the newest versions of three popular open-source Web development tools in one easy-to-understand book. Julie C. Meloni teaches students everything they need to know to create and manage dynamic Web sites. No experience is necessary, except for basic familiarity with creating HTML Web pages. Meloni walks through installing, configuring, and using the PHP 5 scripting language, the MySQL 4.x database system, and the Apache 2 Web server. Then, one step a time, Meloni shows how to combine these technologies to quickly create a Web site and several simple interactive Web applications, including discussion forums, mailing list managers, online address books, shopping carts, and e-commerce storefronts. The book also teaches students how to fine-tune Apache and MySQL, and even covers simple Web server security. This new Second Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect significant changes in the latest versions of PHP, MySQL, and Apache. It also comes with an easy-to-use Starter Kit CD-ROM that makes it easy for students to install a safe and foolproof learning environment for either Windows or Linux-based PCs.
