Editorial Review:

Product Description:
It hasn't taken Web developers long to discover that when it comes to creating dynamic, database-driven Web sites, MySQL and PHP provide a winning open source combination. Add this book to the mix, and there's no limit to the powerful, interactive Web sites that developers can create. With step-by-step instructions, complete scripts, and expert tips to guide readers, veteran author and database designer Larry Ullman gets right down to business: After grounding readers with separate discussions of first the scripting language (PHP) and then the database program (MySQL), he goes on to cover security, sessions and cookies, and using additional Web tools, with several sections devoted to creating sample applications. This guide is indispensable for intermediate- to advanced level Web designers who want to replace their static sites with something dynamic. In this edition, the bulk of the new material covers the latest versions of both technologies: PHP 6 (due out in 2008) and MySQL 5 (available now). The book's publication date is likely to beat the official release of PHP 6, making it one of the first books available on the subject.




Rating: - PHP 6 doesn't exist.
This book is for PHP 6 which... does't exist. The description says "PHP 6 (due out in 2008)." It didn't come out in 2008. It hasn't come out in 2010. No one knows when it will come out. This is a technical book about a non-existent technology.

Rating: - Great for beginners..so far..
So I'm actually in the process of going through this book. I thought I'd wait until I actually finish the book, but figure it'll be useful to give feedback while the process is still fresh. I'm barely on chapter 2 but honestly this book has been really easy to follow. I actually bought this book because of other ppls review on amazon, saying it's a great beginners book..and just as they said, this is a great beginners book. I have learned html, css and javascript..but besides that I've never had ... Read More

Rating: - Messy Examples, Book Falls Apart
I used this book in college. The book isn't that bad but the examples can be hard to understand because the entire book has a "Two-Column" design. Basically, every page is split into two columns. Its hard to read code examples when they are split into different columns and then spread over different pages.

My book also split right in half in the center of the book. The binding came unglued and fell aprt. I contacted my college book store and they were going to replace it for me. Upon looking ... Read More

Rating: - Excellent Read
I was simply looking for a book to teach me the basics of PHP and MYSQL. This book is amazing! It's just what I needed and I am already mastering php on page 50 of 600. Every day I work through this book and what would usually be a chore is really fun. The guided code tutorials and the way in which this book is teaching me is excellent, it's like having a personal tutor. This book is teaching me in a way in which I can understand and most importantly enjoy :D.

I must also mention that I tried ... Read More

Rating: - Excellent for PHP beginner!
I took a class in PHP in the Fall 09 semester that used "PHP 6/MySQL For The Absolute Beginner" and found it to be extremely difficult for a "beginner" book. The examples were not "real world" applications and were very hard to follow. However, I did learn a few thing in that class.

To build on the little I did get out of that book I bought this book and I'm glad I did. It takes you step-by-step through examples explaining what you are doing, and most importantly why and where you would use ... Read More
