PHP 6 Fast and Easy Web Development
If you would have told me four years ago that this little book would be so popular
as to warrant another edition, I would have laughed at you. But the style of this
book, and its contents, has proven to be quite suitable for the beginning PHP
programmer. The Fast & Easy Web Developmentstyle is a step-by-step, learn-by-
example path to learning a new programming language—with pictures included!
Unlike the verbose text-only chapters found in most programming books, the Fast
& Easy Web Development style appeals to users who are new to PHP, and
especially to programming in general.
This edition takes into account feedback received from the other editions, but
holds true to the original content structure and path to learning. In addition, all of
the changes encompassed in the fifth and sixth releases of PHP are included. For
example, the first three chapters are dedicated to getting Apache, MySQL, and
PHP up and running on your Windows or Linux machine. You might be surprised at
how simple it is, and how quickly you’ll be up and running—which is good because
you need all three technologies to be working in order to continue with the lessons.
In this edition, some chapters have been added to provide additional projects for
practicing your new skills, and also to account for new elements present in version
6 of PHP. After completing this book, you will have a strong foundation in the basics
of Web-based technologies and application design, and will be prepared to learn
more advanced topics and programming methodologies. However, before jumping
into all that, take a moment to familiarize yourself with PHP and why it is such a
wonderful language to learn and use.
