Synopsis

Hundreds of thousands of web developers have discovered the ease and power of PHP3 and PostgreSQL. Together, they form an integrated, robust platform for building industrial-strength, interactive, server-side database applications for the web. Building Database Applications on the Web Using PHP3 provides everything you need to understand and work with PHP3. This complete resource presents essential background information and clear explanations of PHP3, PostgreSQL, MySQL, HTML, Linux, and other relevant database and Internet technologies. A step-by-step tutorial walks you through the process of building PHP3 applications, featuring a series of increasingly sophisticated applications that focus on such vital topics as creating run-time generated graphics, database integration and design, and login authentication. You will also find a comprehensive reference to the syntax, grammar, and function library of PHP3, organized both alphabetically and by type of function. This reference incorporates numerous working examples that demonstrate proper use of PHP functions and can be pasted directly into your own applications. The accompanying CD-ROM provides everything needed to install PHP and PostgreSQL under Red Hat Linux. Readers may also log onto a private web site where all the real-world database applications found in the book can be built from an Internet connection. Whether you are just learning web-based development and PHP3 or are already developing sophisticated applications, Building Database Applications on the Web Using PHP3 is an accessible and essential guide to this powerful web development environment. 0201657716B04062001
