Synopsis

Revised and Updated Dec 2020 Edition 5

Written from a series of college lectures on PHP and MySQL this book is a practical look at programming. It starts with an introduction to PHP and then goes on to MySQL and how to use SQL with the PHP language.

It provides an introduction to web programming, how to display data from a database and update data to a database. It explains issues that you encounter in real world situations and provides the basic code from which you can then use for further development.

Many of the chapters consists of a series of examples and tasks which are intended to illustrate each point and concentrate on simplified code so that you can see how to use it. All code is available for download from the web site to make it easier for you.

PHP and MySQL are a terrific open source combination to create dynamic database driven web sites which are being used in many web applications such as WordPress, Joomla and Drupal. This is where it's at - don’t be left behind - it is not as difficult as you think.
