As a part of the Fast & Easy Web Development series, this book applies the highly successful combination of easy-to-understand instructions and real screenshots for a truly unique learning experience. PHP Fast & Easy Web Development is ideal for the beginning Web developer or for Web developers who want to increase their skill set.

About this title

From the Author

Why I Wrote PHP Fast & Easy
PHP Fast & Easy was written specifically for the beginning PHP user; perhaps a person diving into PHP for the first time, or someone coming from another scripting language, wanting to see what the fuss is about. The style of this book is very visual: line-by-line, step-by-step instructions and explanations of the code you're being told to write, along with many screenshots of results along the way.

This book contains a CD-ROM of required software, for both Linux and Windows plaforms: the Apache Web server, the MySQL database server, and PHP 4.0.0. The first three chapters are devoted to installing and configuring this software. If you don't know a thing about SQL, you'll learn enough to get you through the book, and will hopefully be surprised at the amount you understand, by the end.

This book covers the essential elements of getting up and running with PHP: basic scripts like form mailers all the way through creating a few database-driven applications and working with sessions. No prior knowledge of scripting languages is assumed, besides a bit of HTML. Like my first book, PHP Essentials, this book should not be the only PHP book on your shelf. This is a "get up and running" book, geared toward a particular learning style...
