PHP5 and MySQL® Bible

By Tim Converse and Joyce Park with Clark Morgan

Welcome to PHP5 and MySQL Bible!

Although we’re biased, we believe that the PHP Web-scripting language is the hands-down winner in its niche—by far the easiest and most flexible server-side tool for getting great Web sites up and running in a hurry. Although millions of Web programmers worldwide could be wrong, in this particular case, they’re not. MySQL is the most popular open-source database platform, and it is the first choice of many for creating database-backed PHP-driven Web sites

As we write this, PHP5 is in its third beta version, and PHP has continued to grow in reach, adoption, and features since we wrote the first two versions of this book.

What Is PHP?

PHP is an open-source, server-side, HTML-embedded Web-scripting language that is compatible with all the major Web servers (most notably Apache). PHP enables you to embed code fragments in normal HTML pages—code that is interpreted as your pages are served up to users. PHP also serves as a “glue” language, making it easy to connect your Web pages to server-side databases.

Why PHP?

We devote nearly all of Chapter 1 to this question. The short answer is that it’s free, it’s open source, it’s full featured, it’s cross-platform, it’s stable, it’s fast, it’s clearly designed, it’s easy to learn, and it plays well with others.

New PHP5 features

Although much of PHP4’s functionality survives unchanged in PHP5, there have been some deep changes. Among the ones we cover are:

1. Zend Engine 2 and the new object model, with support for private/protected members, abstract classes, and interfaces

2. PHP5’s completely reworked XML support, built around libmxl2

3. Exceptions and exception handling

MySQL coverage

We now cover MySQL 4.0 installation, database design, and administration, including backups, replication, and recovery. As with previous editions, we devote much of the book to techniques for writing MySQL-backed PHP applications
