PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, or PHP, is an open source programming
language that is used for developing interactive Web sites. More
specifi cally, PHP is a scripting language that is executed from a Web
server. Created in 1995, PHP is one of the fastest-growing programming
languages today. Th e TIOBE Programming Community Index1
ranked PHP as the third most popular programming language in the
world.
One of the primary reasons for PHP’s popularity is its simplicity. Th e
language is relatively easy to learn, allowing new programmers to
quickly incorporate PHP functionality into a Web site. MySQL is an
open source relational database that is often used with PHP. Together,
PHP and MySQL are becoming one of the most popular technology
combinations for Web site development.
PHP is a dynamic, growing language with new functionality added
on a regular basis. PHP is supported by a community of developers
and users who add features and contribute updates that expand the
functionality of the code. Th e PHP Group coordinates the development
eff orts of more than 400 user groups in more than 80 countries.
Although the PHP Group does not impose formal specifi cations, it
does issue recommendations for how PHP should and should not be
used. Complete documentation for all versions of the PHP language
is available at www.php.net. You should bookmark this site, because it
will become your primary point of reference as you progress through
this book.
PHP Programming with MySQL teaches Web development with
PHP and MySQL for students with little programming or database
experience, although knowledge of XHTML and Web page design is
helpful. Th is book covers the basics of PHP and MySQL along with
introductions to advanced topics, including object-oriented programming
and how to build Web sites that incorporate authentication and
security. After you complete this course, you will be able to use PHP
and MySQL to build professional-quality, database-driven Web sites. |
