An introductory level book that provides the essential information needed to build common Web database applications. The book is directed toward users who know HTML and have created static Web pages, but no prior experience with programming or database design or use is required.
The book contains many sample programs and contains complete programs for two applications: a product catalog and a restricted web site that requires users to log in.
The Second edition is updated for PHP 5. The sample programs and code are revised to work with register_globals set to off. Instructions for uploading files via an HTML form have been added. Appendix C with instructions for installing Apache is new.
