Beginning PHP6, Apache, MySQL® Web Development
With
this guide, you'll quickly learn why the combination of PHP, Apache, and
MySQL is rapidly becoming the most popular way to develop dynamic web
sites. It gives you the best possible foundation for understanding how
the core components work separately and together, enabling you to take
full advantage of everything they have to offer.
You'll
discover how to utilize the key features of these technologies as you
follow two projects to create complete web sites. These projects take
you through the basics, such as writing PHP code, building a MySQL
database, filling the database with data, and showing specific
information to your visitors. You'll then incorporate some of the more
complex topics of working with PHP, Apache, and MySQL as you progress
step by step through the development of each site.
When

able to create a well-designed, dynamic web site using freely available
tools.
