Book description
PHP and MySQL are quickly becoming the de facto standard for rapid development of dynamic, database-driven web sites. This book is perfect for newcomers to programming as well as hobbyists who are intimidated by harder-to-follow books. With concepts explained in plain English, the new edition starts with the basics of the PHP language, and explains how to work with MySQL, the popular open source database. You then learn how to put the two together to generate dynamic content.

- PHP basics such as strings and arrays, and pattern matching
- A detailed discussion of the variances in different PHP versions
- MySQL data fundamentals like tables and statements
- Information on SQL data access for language
- A new chapter on XHTML
