'Learning PHP And MySQL' starts with the very basics of the PHP language including arrays and strings, pattern matching, and a detailed discussion of the variances in different PHP versions. The book then moves on to explain how to work with MySQL, the popular open source database, with information on the SQL data access language, and database fundamentals like tables and statements. When readers are able to grasp both PHP and MySQL concepts, they learn how to put them together to generate dynamic content. In the process, they'll also learn about error handling, security, HTTP authentication, and be able to examine many real world examples of PHP & MySQL applications.
