Dynamic Web Design Made Easy—that’s a pretty bold claim. How easy is easy? It’s not like an instant cake mix: just add water and stir. Dynamic web design is—well— dynamic. Every website is different, so it’s impossible to grab a script, paste it into a web page, and expect it to work. Building dynamic sites involves diving into the code and adju- ing it to your own requirements. If that thought makes you break out in a cold sweat, just relax for a moment. PHP is not difficult, and I’ve written this book very much with the n- programmer in mind. I’ve done so because I don’t come from a computing background myself. In fact, I went to school in the days before pocket calculators were invented, never mind personal computers. As a result, I don’t assume that you drank in knowledge of arrays, loops, and conditional statements with your mother’s milk. Everything is explained in plain, straightforward l- guage, and I’ve highlighted points where things may go wrong, with advice on how to solve the problem. At the same time, if you’re working with computers and websites, you’re bound to have a certain level of technical knowledge and skill. So I don’t talk down to you either.

David Powers is an Adobe Community Expert for Dreamweaver and author of a series of highly successful books on PHP, including PHP Solutions: Dynamic Web Design Made Easy and Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8. As a professional writer, he has been involved in electronic media for more than 30 years, first with BBC radio and television and more recently with the Internet. His clear writing style is valued not only in the English-speaking world; several of his books have been translated into Spanish and Polish. What started as a mild interest in computing was transformed almost overnight into a passion, when David was posted to Japan in 1987 as BBC correspondent in Tokyo. With no corporate IT department just down the hallway, he was forced to learn how to fix everything himself. When not tinkering with the innards of his computer, he was reporting for BBC television and radio on the rise and collapse of the Japanese bubble economy. Since leaving the BBC to work independently, he has built up an online bilingual database of economic and political analysis for Japanese clients of an international consultancy. When not pounding the keyboard writing books or dreaming of new ways of using PHP and other programming languages, David enjoys nothing better than visiting his favorite sushi restaurant. He has also translated several plays from Japanese.
<p>A unique PHP book with an accessible, visual teaching style aimed at non-programmers (i.e. Designers and novices.) But it's an intelligent book, not a dummies book</p><p>Supports the latest versions of PHP (6) and MySQL (5)</p><p>Special emphasis on security and good site design, often overlooked in PHP books</p><p>Compatible with the latest versions of PHP and MySQL</p>
<P>The killer combination of PHP, MySQL database, and the Apache web server is by far the most popular set of dynamic web technologies in use today. But not everyone who uses PHP is a programmer. Unlike code-heavy references, this book provides a more friendly, accessible and visual learning style. It takes the reader through the details of setting up their development environment and PHP code basics as painlessly as possible, and shows how to wire together several real world PHP projects. The PHP code offered here generates semantically-sound markup, which is then attractively styled using CSS. The book is up-to-date with the latest versions of PHP (6) and MySQL (5) but is written to be compatible with older versions that readers might find on their hosting servers. Security is very important for effective PHP sites, but often overlooked by beginners. This book teaches security right from the start.</P>
