Excellent Introduction to PHP and MySQL

Reviewed in the United States on 17 August 2005

Before reading this book I had an abundance of programming experience in C/C++ but none with HTML or programming a dynamic website. This book allowed me to quickly realize that there is not much difference between traditional programming and server-side web programming. True, one has to know a little something about html to present input and output, start a session, keep track of session and form variables, and interact with a database, but aside from this the programming is much the same: variables, loops, control statements, functions, and objects. And may be the strength of this book is that Welling's and Thomson's presentation makes this very clear. The presentation is no more difficult than it needs to be to get a web application up and running, whether it is a simple on-line survey, or an industrial strength e-commerce site. I was almost alarmed at how easy it seemed to zip through the chapters, or skim through later chapters finding the right tidbits of helpful information.

I found the chapters on MySQL very good, although I did supplement them with Parts I and II "The Relational Model of Data" from Christopher Date's "Introduction to Database Systems", as I wanted to have a slightly more advanced perspective on SQL database querying and a better understanding of what comprises a database system.

Finally, I should note that a benefit of using MySQL and PHP is that both tools have very good online reference manuals that will answer questions about advanced syntax and use that is omitted from this book (although I must say that this book covers a significant amount of both manuals, and places them well within the context of actual website development).

I couldn't have asked for a better book.

Un petit chef d'oeuvre sur le sujet

Reviewed in France on 31 October 2005

Voila un livre d'informatique comme on aimerait en voir plus souvent: clair, précis, exhaustif sans être une masse informe, abondamment illustré, bourré d'exemples didactiques et de niveau progressif.
Developpeur de sites depuis plus de 6 ans, donc largement expérimenté tant d'un pt de vue technique que gestion de projet, je ne pensais pas pouvoir trouver un livre sur PHP/MySQL qui me satisfasse à ce point.
Un grand bravo aux auteur.

Excellent book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2005

Verified Purchase

Very good introduction to PHP although it doesnt include some of the obvious basics you might want to use.

Note: It covers PHP 5 - and most hosting online is still running PHP 4 (as of June 06) - so you will have to adapt areas of your code quite considerably to run on the older version.

On the whole a good book with good example code - best used in tandom with online resources such as php.net
