In
MySQL/PHP Database
Applications, Jay Greenspan and
Brad Bulger explain how to work with
the capable pair, primarily for applications you might use on
a Web site. If you take the time to
study the advice and work through your own tests of the
concepts presented, it's pretty much certain that you'll walk
away with the knowledge you need to do serious development
work with the PHP scripting language
and the MySQL database server.


Rather than make up trivial programs just to
illustrate aspects of the MySQL/
PHP environment, this book features code
snippets, each half a page or so in length, that illustrate
the behavior of key code structures. For example, in
explaining conditional statements in
PHP, the book gives you a no-frills
IF statement with real values in place. It's
not always obvious how the code structures will behave in
practice, but the book does a consistently good job of
commenting intelligently on the place of each aspect of the
language in a well-designed application. The latter half of
the book attacks specific problems - a chat system, a guest
book, and so on - and walks through the setup of
MySQL and each important
PHP function for each.
