   This book is written for Java developers who need to interface their code to a back-end database.

This book is designed for intermediate- to advancedlevel PHP developers who can review the fifty PHP applications developed for this book and deploy them as is or customize them as needed. However, it is entirely possible for someone with very little PHP background to deploy the applications developed for this book. Therefore, even if you are not currently a PHP developer, you can make use of all the applications with very little configuration changes.
   If you are looking for example applications that have defined features and implementation requirements, and you want to learn how applications are developed by professional developers, this book a great starting point. Here you will find numerous examples of applications that have been designed from the ground up using a central application framework, which was designed from scratch for this book.
   The book shows developers how PHP applications can be developed by keeping security considerations in focus and by taking advantage of an object-oriented approach to PHP programming whenever possible to develop highly maintainable, extensible applications for Web and intranet use.

Not surprisingly, this surge in usage has resulted in a number of PHP books hitting the market. Only one, though, takes the language beyond traditional Web programming and into mapping, graphing, multimedia, and beyond: PHP Hacks.

Web Database Application with PHP and MySQL - 2nd Edition - David Lane, Hugh E. Williams - 2004.

   This new edition has been redesigned around the rich offerings of PEAR. Several of these, including the Template package and the database-independent query API, are fully integrated into examples and thoroughly described in the text. In addition, through a complex sample application--Hugh and Dave's Wine Store--all the important techniques of dynamic content are introduced. Good design is emphasized, such as dividing logic from presentation. The book introduces PHP 5 and MySQL 4.1 features, while providing techniques that can be used on older versions of the software that are still in widespread use.
