How This Book Is Organized
There are 13 chapters and 5 appendixes in this book. Chapter 1 to Chapter 3 introduce web database applications, PHP, MySQL, and SQL:
- Chapter 1
Discusses the three-tier architecture commonly used in web database applications and in those that we discuss in this book. We introduce each of the three tiers and the features of each, and we introduce the software tools that we use. We also briefly introduce web protocols. The chapter concludes with an introduction to our case study example, Hugh and Dave’s Online Wines. We discuss the components of the winestore, the system requirements, and where in the book the techniques to develop each component are covered.
- Chapter 2
Introduces the PHP scripting language. It covers programming in PHP and discusses the basic programming constructs, variables, types, functions, techniques, and common sources of bugs. We include many short code examples to illustrate how to program with PHP.
- Chapter 3
Introduces the MySQL DBMS and how to interact with it using the database query language SQL. Using examples from the online winestore, we introduce the SQL commands for creating, deleting, and updating data and databases. We also present a longer, example-driven section on querying the online winestore. The chapter concludes with discussion of advanced topics, including MySQL database tuning and configuration.
Chapter 4 to Chapter 9 cover the principles and practice of developing web database application logic.
