Murach's PHP and MySQL, 2/e (Paperback)

"I can't count how many PHP books I have purchased over the years trying to learn the language. Murach's was the first book that helped me grasp the concepts and got me onto actually scripting in PHP."

That's what one developer said in an online review of the first edition of Murach's PHP and MySQL. Now, this 2nd Edition does an even better job of delivering the real-world skills you need to develop database-driven websites using PHP and MySQL, two of today's most popular open-source software tools.

Section 1 is a quick-start course that shows how to use the latest versions of PHP, MySQL, the Apache web server, and the NetBeans IDE to build your first PHP applications. And right from the start, you'll learn to create applications that conform to the MVC pattern, so they'll be easier to maintain as they grow.

Then, Section 2 takes you deep into PHP by covering the skills you'll use every day in professional applications, like how to work with form data, dates, arrays, sessions, cookies, functions, objects, regular expressions, and exceptions. Likewise, Section 3 dives into MySQL, teaching you how to design and create a database, as well as how to access and maintain the data in a database like the professionals do. Finally, Section 4 teaches you important web programming skills like how to secure web pages, prevent SQL injection attacks, guard against XSS attacks, send email, upload files, process images, and access content from other websites.

Complete sample applications (all using HTML5 and CSS3) along with chapter exercises provide training support throughout. A great choice for any developer who wants to master PHP without a lot of frustration and unnecessary expense.

「多年來，我買了無數本 PHP 書籍試圖學習這門語言，但《Murach's PHP and MySQL》是第一本真正幫助我理解概念並讓我開始實際使用 PHP 進行編寫腳本的書籍。」這是一位開發者在線評論《Murach's PHP and MySQL》第一版時說的話。現在，第二版更好地提供了你需要開發使用 PHP 和 MySQL 的基於數據庫的網站所需的實際技能，這兩個是當今最受歡迎的開源軟件工具之一。

第一部分是一個快速入門課程，展示如何使用最新版本的 PHP、MySQL、Apache 網頁伺服器和 NetBeans IDE 構建你的第一個 PHP 應用程序。從一開始，你就會學習創建符合 MVC 模式的應用程序，這樣隨著應用程序的發展，它們將更容易維護。

然後，第二部分深入介紹 PHP，涵蓋了你在專業應用程序中每天使用的技能，例如如何處理表單數據、日期、數組、會話、Cookie、函數、對象、正則表達式和異常。同樣地，第三部分深入介紹了 MySQL，教你如何設計和創建數據庫，以及如何像專業人士一樣訪問和維護數據庫中的數據。最後，第四部分教授了重要的網頁編程技能，例如如何保護網頁、防止 SQL 注入攻擊、防範 XSS 攻擊、發送電子郵件、上傳文件、處理圖像和訪問其他網站的內容。

完整的示例應用程序（全部使用 HTML5 和 CSS3）以及章節練習提供了全程培訓支持。對於任何想要掌握 PHP 而又不想遇到太多挫折和不必要花費的開發者來說，這是一個很好的選擇。
