All Book Download,| PHP, MySQL | Even if you’re completely new to PHP, MySQL, and Web database development, this book will guide you through every step of building powerful, database-driven, dynamic Web sites. Direct from the world’s top scripting instructor, Ellie Quigley, PHP and MySQL by Example illuminates every concept with tested code examples, screen shots showing program output, and clear, line-by-line explanations.
Classroom-tested in Ellie Quigley’s Silicon Valley training courses and at Marko Gargenta’s Marakana training company in San Francisco, this book takes you from the simplest PHP scripting and SQL querying techniques all the way to dynamic, database driven Web site construction with PHP and MySQL. From simple fill-in forms to program security and debugging, it’s the only PHP/MySQL book you’ll ever need!
I often see 1 star reviews for textbooks I have used and think that the reviewers must be too picky, or they are outright wrong. Oftentimes the 1 star reviews for programming books come from those who the learning style doesn't appeal to, and often to either well-experienced programmers or total beginners. This was not the case with this book. It was a required book for my class and, two weeks into the semester, I am basically chucking it and hoping for the best buying another and matching it to the syllabus.
There is the fact that it is somewhat outdated, but this is a minor fact. There is the greater problem that concepts are brought up with no explanation and no reference to how they relate to what the book is handling at the time, but even this I could grudgingly deal with. What is completely atrocious about this book is the number of errors. I'm not talking minor typos, either. This book screws up syntax in the code constantly. It is so bad, and so frequent, that any example the book makes has to be evaluated line by line, because it seems that it screws up almost as often as it gets it right. I'm not kidding. I would bet (uneducated guess, because I give up with it) that a good 25% of the examples used would not even run due to errors. I've never ripped a textbook this bad before and hopefully never will have to again, but this book is, to me, ABSOLUTELY worthless as a teaching tool.
