Essentially three books in one, readers not only profit from extensive introductions to the core features of each technology, but also learn how to effectively integrate the two in order to build robust data-driven applications. Packed with practical examples and insight into the real-world challenges faced by developers based on the author’s seven years of expertise working with these technologies, readers will repeatedly return to this book as both a valuable instructional tool and reference guide.

A beginning PHP book, not a beginning programming book. The subtitle, ‘From Novice to Professional’, can be a tad misleading for the novice coder. A beginning programming book covers a lot of material that this book assumes the reader already understands. Many software books include a ‘Who Is This Book For’ section that offers some guidance on the suitable reader knowledge level, not this one.

That said, I found this book to be very helpful. The sections on installing and configuring Apache, PHP and MySQL certainly saved me many hours of reading the online documentation and tweaking of settings while setting up my local test bed. That, in itself, made me a very happy camper. The author goes on to cover the various aspects from the basics of the PHP language and class libraries to topics like Authentication, Security, Session Handlers and eMail functionality that help anyone new to PHP setup some fairly sophisticated site capabilities.

The second edition has been supplemented with an added 200 pages, including a new section on PEAR (PHP Extension and Application Repository). This is a wealth of prewritten classes and packages that can be used to add even more sophisticated functionality to the novice’s web development toolbox. The author demonstrates several of the more prominent packages.

The second edition has greatly beefed up with additional coverage of MySQL 5, including chapters on stored procedures, triggers and the PHP mysqli extension (all missed in the first edition). Most of the examples offered are clean and general enough to be useful templates for the reader’s tailoring.

My suggestion for novices to PHP is read through chapter 9, then skip to the various sections that solve specific problems being faced or are of particular interest, including installing and configuring your local test bed.

Bottom line, the first edition was a good book for intermediate to veteran programmers looking for a quick tutorial on PHP (circa version 5.0); the second edition is even better. Novice programmers should ensure that they have a full understanding of the basics of programming (and OOP) before attempting it. I would now use this book to teach a class on PHP.

Internet merupakan salah satu fenomena paling berpengaruh dalam beberapa dekade terakhir ini, baik bagi perkembangan teknologi itu sendiri maupun bagi perkembangan disiplin ilmu lain, seperti ekonomi, politik, sosial dan budaya. Perkembangan internet juga berpengaruh langsung terhadap perkembangan situs web. Di awal kemunculannya, internet maupun situs web belum begitu populer karena layanannya yang masih terbatas. Namun lihatlah saat ini, situs web sudah demikian populer dan layanannya pun beragam, mulai dari situs berita seperti Detik dan Okezone, situs penyedia email seperti Yahoo dan Gmail, sampai situs pertemanan (social networking) seperti Friendster dan Facebook.

Dalam kaitannya dengan situs web dan layanan di dalamnya tidak lepas dari teknologi di baliknya, yaitu pemrograman web, desain web dan database. Salah satu bahasa pemrograman yang banyak digunakan untuk membangun suatu situs web adalah PHP (http://www.php.net). Penggunaannya saat ini bahkan sudah mencapai 25 juta situs web. Sedangkan dari sisi database, penggunaan MySQL (http://www.mysql.com) masih juga mendominasi dalam aplikasi berbasis web.

Melalui buku ini, penulis berusaha mengenalkan dasar-dasar dari PHP dan MySQL untuk membangun suatu situs web. Buku ini sebagian besar menyajikan berbagai contoh program yang disusun secara terstruktur dari yang mudah sampai yang cukup kompleks. Dengan adanya contoh-contoh program tersebut, diharapkan pembaca dapat mempraktekkannya secara langsung (learning by doing) dan dapat menyimpulkan sendiri maksud dari setiap perintah dalam program dengan cara melihat hasil yang ditampilkan di layar (browser). Di akhir buku ini, disajikan contoh yang lebih nyata, yaitu aplikasi situs berita sederhana yang dapat dikembangkan lebih lanjut.

Buku ini cocok bagi pembaca yang baru mulai belajar PHP dan MySQL secara mandiri karena contoh-contoh dalam buku ini disajikan sesederhana mungkin. Buku ini juga cocok digunakan sebagai panduan praktikum pemrograman web di perguruan tinggi, sekolah maupun kursus-kursus.

Akhirnya penulis berharap agar buku ini bermanfaat bagi perkembangan ilmu dan pengetahuan di Indonesia, khususnya dalam hal pemrograman web dan internet. Saran dan kritik untuk perbaikan buku ini sangat penulis harapkan. Saran, kritik dan masukan mengenai buku ini dapat disampaikan melalui email ke penulis di achmatim@gmail.com atau melalui situs penulis di http://achmatim.net.
