Beginning PHP and MySQL 5: From Novice to Professional, Second Edition offers comprehensive information about two of the most prominent open source technologies on the planet: the PHP scripting language and the MySQL database server.

Essentially three books in one, this second edition covers PHP 5, MySQL 5, and how these two popular open source technologies work together to create powerful websites. The book is packed with practical examples and insight into real-world challenges. It is based on the author’s 7 years of experience working with these technologies. You will repeatedly refer to this book as a valuable instructional tool and reference guide.
