For any course in Web Programming, Web Development, and Web Design teaching PHP, an open source server-side HTML-embedded scripting language. While there are several professional-level books available on PHP, there are few guides to this open-source scripting language for students who may be familiar with HTML but are not studying to be professional programmers. This task-based, visual reference guide features step-by-step instructions and plenty of screen shots-the ideal way for students to learn the basics of PHP, starting with basic syntax, testing scripts, working with variables, creating Web applications, and more.

From the Author

This book is intended for the beginner PHP programmer--those with little or no programming experience but basic Web development know-how. It teaches the aspects of PHP you'll need to understand today in order to have your dynamic Web application up and running tomorrow. All the examples in the book are real-world scripts which you can incorporate into your Web sites (no demonstrations of things you'll never need or long-winded explanations for techniques you may or may not ever use).

The book covers the very fundamentals of PHP programming, including: regular expressions, connecting to a database, sending e-mails, and more. Certain topics (such as Object Oriented Programming and sessions) aren't covered but references will take you to where you can learn more, should you feel that's necessary.

The text is well supported by its accompanying Web site where you'll find: all the scripts up-to-date and downloadable; a listing of any corrections; over 100 links to different PHP-related topics; latest news; and more! The author currently answers every email he receives and attempts to support the readers as much as possible.

PHP for the World Wide Web: Visual QuickStart guide aims to be the best beginner's guide to PHP in terms of practical knowledge, clear demonstrations, author support, and price!
