PHP6 / MySQL Programming for the Absolute Beginner

The modern web is no longer about documents, but about applications. Learning to program on the web server is among the most sought-after job skills, followed closely by the ability to build and maintain data and have it interact with your pages.

Learn both these skills in this third edition of my PHP and MySQL book. If you're new to programming, you can start here. If you're already a seasoned developer, learn how the server-side model is different than what you already know.

Learn to interact with forms, get user data, store data on the server, keep persistant data through sessions, create databases, and build web-enabled databases. By the end of the book you'll even learn how to create your own content management system.
