"Head First PHP & MySQL" offers the same visually rich format that's turned every title in the "Head First" series into a bestseller, with plenty of exercises, quizzes, puzzles, and other interactive features to help you retain what you've learned.This title discusses how to: use PHP to transform static HTML pages into dynamic web sites; create and populate your own MySQL database tables, and work with data stored in files; perform sophisticated MySQL queries with joins, and refine your results with LIMIT and ORDER BY; use cookies and sessions to track visitors' login information and personalize the site for users; protect your data from SQL injection attacks; use regular expressions to validate information on forms; dynamically display text based on session info and create images on the fly; and, pull syndicated data from other sites using PHP and XML. Throughout the book, you'll build sophisticated examples - including a mailing list, a job board, and an online dating site - to help you learn how to harness the power of PHP and MySQL in a variety of contexts. If you're ready to build a truly dynamic website, "Head First PHP & MySQL" is the ideal way to get going. |
| Editorial Review | Aufgrund seines unterhaltsamen Stils wird das Durcharbeiten des Buchs sicherlich nicht langweilig und der Inhalt deckt auch mehr ab, als manch Anfänger an Wissen benötigt. Wer sich also nicht davor scheut, mit einem englischsprachigen Buch PHP- und MySQL-Wissen aufzubauen oder aufzufrischen, wird hier mehr als gut versorgt. - PHP Magazin, Mai 2009 "Insgesamt ist PHP & MySQL aus der Head First-Reihe absolut für Einsteiger zu empfehlen. Weit entfernt von der meist trockenen Struktur und der eintönigen Sprache anderer Fachbücher bietet dieses Buch alle Grundlagen und Motivationsversuche, um dem Leser die Themen PHP und MySQL nahezubringen." - Media-Mania.de, April 2009 |
