This book combines PHP development with MySQL applications, and provides an in-depth and simple analysis of PHP and MySQL respectively. It not only introduces the general concepts of PHP and MySQL, but also gives a more comprehensive explanation of the web applications of PHP and MySQL, and Includes several classic and practical examples.
This book is the 3rd edition, which has been completely updated, rewritten and expanded, including the latest features of PHP5 - new object model, better exception handling and SimpleXML; as well as the new features of MySQL 5, such as storage Process and storage engines.
PHP is the abbreviation of PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, a widely used open source (Open Source) multi-purpose scripting language. It can be embedded into HTML and is especially suitable for web development. However, PHP's capabilities are not limited to this. It can be used as a development language for server-side scripts, command-line scripts, and even client-side GUI programs. Today, PHP runs on all major operating systems and most web servers. PHP's ease of use, high performance, tight integration with the Apache web server, and large number of application building blocks make it one of the leading web application development languages.
MySQL is a very fast and robust relational database management system (RDBMS). It is a database that enables you to save, search, sort and retrieve data efficiently. MySQL server can control your access to data, ensuring that only authenticated users can access the data. Therefore, MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded server that uses the industry-supported standard database query language SQL (Structured Query Language). MySQL has been officially released since 1996, but its development history must be traced back to 1979. Today, MySQL has won the Readers' Choice Award from Linux Journal magazine.
The third edition of "PHP and MySQL Web Development" (Chinese version: "PHP and MySQL Web Development Guide") edited by Laura Thomson and Luke Welling has been published. Just like "Thinking in Java" is a bible book about Java, this book is a guide to database-oriented web application development using PHP and MySQL.
The language of this book is easy to understand and the structure is reasonable and clear. It adopts a step-by-step approach to introduce how to use PHP and MySQL for database-oriented Web application development: PHP language, MySQL server, e-commerce basics, security issues, and practical examples. This represents a reasonable learning curve for entry-level programmers looking to pursue PHP and MySQL web development.
The PHP introduced in this book is the latest version, 5.0. It details the history and present of PHP, as well as its features and functions as a process-oriented and object-oriented language. It also includes an introduction to the new features of the PHP 5 language, such as object-oriented improvements. This is basic introductory knowledge for readers who are not familiar with object-oriented languages.
The MySQL introduced in this book is also the latest version, 4.0. Considering that readers may not be familiar with database theory, this book also uses two chapters to introduce the basic knowledge of relational databases and SQL language in detail. When introducing MySQL, the author also followed a gradual learning curve from shallow to deep. It starts with the features of the MySQL database, and then moves on to advanced applications of MySQL that are closely related to real-world development, including an in-depth introduction to the MySQL permission system, a comprehensive analysis of MySQL security issues, and some performance optimization issues that cause headaches for developers. .
After introducing PHP and MySQL in detail, this book will enter the most distinctive and valuable part: the practical chapter. What kind of applications can be produced by the combination of PHP and MySQL? The answer is obvious, e-commerce. Before entering into e-commerce website development using PHP and MySQL, the author also introduced in detail the basic features of e-commerce websites and security issues that require special attention. In the section on e-commerce security issues in this book, readers can learn almost all website security concepts and techniques. This is a rare manual for inexperienced website developers. In the introduction to practical projects, the author relied on years of development experience to give several of the most representative examples: shopping carts, content management systems, Web-based mail management systems, mailing list managers, Web, etc. All of these examples are of very high practicality. Imagine that an inexperienced developer joins an e-commerce website and starts a new career. What will he say when he studies this book while working? "Oh my god, the content in the book is the content of my work! Thank God!".
In addition to being oriented to developers, the author also considers the problems that system administrators of e-commerce websites may encounter: the construction and maintenance of the system environment. In the appendix of this book, the author introduces in detail how to install, configure and even compile PHP and MySQL on mainstream operating system platforms. Because PHP and MySQL are open, enterprises may need to customize these tools and platforms, and the content in the appendix of this book precisely provides system administrators with help in this regard.
Looking at the entire book, the content is extensive, the style is rigorous, and theory and practice are closely integrated. With both detailed concept explanations and complex and complete example codes, readers can easily put the theoretical knowledge they have learned into practice. It is for this reason that this book is suitable for a very broad readership. For beginners, this book can be used as their teaching material and reference book. 9 For experienced PHP and MySQL experts, this book is also a good reference manual, so this book is suitable for PHP programmers of all levels. .
Of course, this book also has some shortcomings. The author thinks that the author should try to add some comparisons about the collaborative development of PHP and MySQL with today's most popular J2EE platform and .NET platform in this book. This comparative content will help businesses and developers choose the right platform and tools. Perhaps, these contents will be seen in the fourth edition in the near future.
