DESCRIPTION:

Welcome to the exciting world of Web database applications. This book
provides the basic techniques to build any Web database application,
but I certainly recommend that you start with a fairly simple one. In this
book, I develop two sample applications, both chosen to represent two types
of applications frequently encountered on the Web: product catalogs and
customer/member-only sites that require the user to register and log in with
a password. The sample applications are complicated enough to require
more than one program and to use a variety of data and data manipulation
techniques, yet simple enough to be easily understood and adapted to a variety
of Web sites. After you master the simple applications, you can expand
the basic design to include all the functionality that you can think of.
About This Book
Think of this book as your friendly guide to building a Web database application.
This book is designed as a reference, not as a tutorial, so you don’t have
to read this book from cover to cover, unless you want to. You can start reading
at any point in the book — in Chapter 1, Chapter 9, wherever. I divide the
task of building a Web database application into manageable chunks of information,
so check out the table of contents and locate the topic that you’re
interested in. If you need to know information from another chapter to understand
the chapter you’re reading, I reference that chapter number.

Here’s a sample of the topics that I discuss in this book:
Building and using a MySQL database
Adding PHP to HTML files
Using the features of the PHP language
Using HTML forms to collect information from users
Showing information from a database in a Web page
Storing information in a database
