PHP MySQL Website programming - Problem - Design - Solution

PHP MySQL Website Programming shows the development process for a web site using a specific set of technologies: the Apache web server, the MySQL database system, and the PHP scripting language. Each chapter in the book identifies a task to be accomplished that is necessary for the construction of the site. It suggests a way to go about the required programming, and finally implements a solution based on the discussion. The ideas that are presented, and the code that is written, are indicative of the way real world tasks are being completed.

Who this book is for
