Apache, MySQL, PHP3, and IMP… the pieces exist. Each piece has been described ad nauseam. What does not exist is a guide to the marriage of these software technologies into a useful book, until now. This book puts together information on installing, setting up, and troubleshooting each of these technologies into one complete volume. You also learn how each piece is part of a whole by learning, step-by-step, how to create a web-based e-mail system. Learn to run the Linux equivalent of Active Server Pages (ASP) using PHP3, set up an e-commerce site using a database and the Apache web server, and create a data entry system (such as sales, product quality tracking, customer preferences, etc) that requires no installation in the PC.

This review is from: MySQL & PHP From Scratch (Paperback)
Like the first reviewer, I ordered this book while it is still not published. I have read the other PHP books and I was eager to get this book that will show me how to write a webbased email system.Imagine my surprise when I tore open the book and found that it was more of an installation manuals for Linux, PHP, MySQL and IMP rather than a programming guide. Chapter 1 was a diaster as I don't even know what's going on because it probably uses material in Chapter 3 to 5, Chapter 2 is where you are surposed to go and download the files, chapter 3 went off into never never land, 'explaining' commands of MySQL which I have no ideas what the author was talking about. And Half the book was Appendix A on PHP. If I wanted a history book and an installation manual and a quick reference to PHP I would have bought them seperately. Summary, the book did not even come close to what it promised. I hope the author or Que would at least accept a refund for publishing an outdated, useless paperweight

Can I give it ZERO stars?,
By Aquaria.Info "Aquaria.Info - Aquarium Fish On... (Aquaria.Info) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MySQL & PHP From Scratch (Paperback)
This book is an absolute waste of both your time and your money. It basically contains the PHP and MySql manuals available for free from their websites.There is virtually no actual content from the author to help you learn PHP or MySQL. If you are looking for a good book on PHP and MySql check out PHP and MySQL Web Development by Luke Welling, Laura Thomson

$23.99 for a free php manual,are you stupid ?,
By Albert KH Kwan (CUHK,HK,Asia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MySQL & PHP From Scratch (Paperback)
Yes,247 pages out of 347 pages of this lame book is a complete reprint of php manual,which you can find on php.net for free.The first 111 pages about mysql ,php ,apache and imp are just reprints of their installation manuals,which are also freely available online. I have no ideas why QUE publishes this kind of "book".
