What痴 in this Series?
This series comprises the following 4 chapters. Read them in order from beginning to end to gain a complete understanding of the subject, or skip around if you need a refresher on a particular topic.
Chapter 1: Installation [1]
Before you can start building your database driven web site, you must first ensure that you have the right tools for the job. In this first chapter, I値l tell you where to obtain the two essential components you値l need: the PHP scripting language and the MySQL database management system. I値l step you through the setup procedures on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, and show you how to test that PHP is operational on your web server.
Chapter 2: Getting Started with MySQL [2]
Although I知 sure you値l be anxious to start building dynamic web pages, I値l begin with an introduction to databases in general, and the MySQL relational database management system in particular. If you have never worked with a relational database before, this should definitely be an enlightening chapter that will whet your appetite for what痴 to come! In the process, you値l build up a simple database to be used in later chapters.
Chapter 3: Introducing PHP [3]
Here痴 where the fun really starts. In this chapter, I値l introduce you to the PHP scripting language, which you can use to build dynamic web pages that present up-to-the-moment information to your visitors. Readers with previous programming experience will probably only need a quick skim of this chapter, as I explain the essentials of the language from the ground up. This is a must-read chapter for beginners, however, as the rest of this book relies heavily on the basic concepts presented here.
Chapter 4: Publishing MySQL Data on the Web [4]
In this chapter you値l bring together PHP and MySQL, which you値l have seen separately in the previous chapters, to create some of your first database driven web pages. You値l explore the basic techniques of using PHP to retrieve information from a database and display it on the Web in real time. I値l also show you how to use PHP to create web-based forms for adding new entries to, and modifying existing information in, a MySQL database on the fly.
