PHP and MySQL Web Development

An intermediate to advanced guide to PHP and MySQL, the free, open-sourced Web development products. Offers coverage of object-oriented Web programming, creating services using SSL and authentication, and other applications mod_perl is a unique piece of software that wholly integrates the power of Perl with the flexibility and stability of the Apache Web server. With mod_perl, developers can harness the power of the full Apache API and develop Web applications quickly and without sacrificing performance. The "mod_perl Developer's Cookbook" teaches programming with the mod_perl API by example. The book takes developers from the basics of mod_perl to the development advanced Web applications. Developers will learn tricks, solutions, and mod_perl idioms gleaned from the authors' experience as developers and expert users of mod_perl. Geoffrey Young is a frequent contributor to the mod_perl community and has written scores of mod_perl handlers, the most useful of which can be found on CPAN. Paul Lindner manages, designs, and implements mod_perl applications at Critical Path. He is a long-time Internet and open-source developer, and was one of the founders of the Internet Gopher at the University of Minnesota. Randy Kobes is a professor of physics at the University of Winnipeg who conducts research on chaos and fractals. He used mod_perl to establish a search engine for CPAN. An experienced developer's introduction to PostgreSQL, the world's most advanced and feature-rich open-source relational database.-- A practical introduction to PostgreSQL and relational database development.-- Coverage of major programming includes interfaces and open source software for use with PostgreSQL.-- PostgreSQL is poised to seriously challenge its leading commercial competitors, Oracle and IBM.PostgreSQL Developer's Handbook provides a complete overview of the PostgreSQL database server and extensive coverage of its core features, including object orientation, PL/pgSQL, and the most important programming interfaces. The authors introduce the reader to the language and syntax of PostgreSQL and then move quickly into sophisticated programming topics. Readers will learn how to program efficient date calculations, to integrate PostgreSQL into the Microsoft Office environment and how to build dynamic Flash Web sites using PostgreSQL. The authors provide tested sample code, accompanied by detailed explanations, allowing developers to get up and running quickly with PostgreSQL and to solve common PostgreSQL problems.

PHP Developer's Cookbook is a task-oriented book intended to offer solutions to the daily problems and goals the PHP developer faces.

In addition to a brief introduction to PHP, the main content of the book is presented in a problem and solution format, logically organized on a topic-by-topic basis. Each question specifies a goal, and the following text provides a detailed solution that achieves the stated goal along with any additional related information.

After a crash course in the basics, the PHP Developer's Cookbook covers more advanced development topics.

A task-based reference that will provide experienced developers with useful recipes and easy-to-follow solutions to common problems when using mod_perl in Web applications.-- The first mod_perl cookbook, containing valuable recipes that use mod_perl to extend the Apache API.-- Tricks, solutions, and idioms gleaned from the authors' experience as core members of the mod_perl community and active Web developers.-- Logical progression from basic concepts to advanced mod_perl techniques.mod_perl Developer's Cookbook takes developers from the basics of mod_perl to the development of advanced Web applications. Developers will learn tricks, solutions, and mod_perl idioms gleaned from the authors' extensive experience as core members of the mod_perl community. Topics covered include: understanding the Apache request object; communicating with the Apache server; file handling; universal Resource Identifier manipulation; creating mod_perl handlers; object-oriented mod_perl, and using mod_perl in the entire Apache request cycle. Cocoon is one of the showpieces of the Apache XML project. It is a powerful framework that allows developers to more efficiently set up, create, and maintain sophisticated Web-oriented applications. It has attracted widespread attention because it solves a substantial problem for Web developers. Yet Cocoon's reliance on a wide array of open source technologies and standards makes it very complex. And, unlike some other open source technologies, Cocoon's online documentation is sparse and inadequate. Cocoon Developer's Handbook is a practical, detailed guide for experienced developers who need to learn how to implement the Cocoon framework in a Web XML publishing system. The book is not a theoretical work about XSL, XSP, and XSLT standards, but rather a hands-on explanation of these technologies within the Cocoon framework, with examples and solutions to get developers up and running with Cocoon. Previously announced in December 2001 catalog. PostgreSQL is an object-relational database server that is widely considered to be the world's most advanced open-source database system. It is ANSI SQL-compatible, and it offers powerful features to enable more complex software design than would be possible with relational databases that are not object-oriented. PostgreSQL is extremely modular, it supports a large number of datatypes, and programming interfaces for PostgreSQL are available for all important programming languages, including C, Perl, Python, Tcl, Java, and PHP. PostgreSQL Developer's Handbook provides a complete overview of the PostgreSQL database server and extensive coverage of its core features, including object orientation, PL/pgSQL, and the most important programming interfaces. The book introduces the reader to the language and syntax of PostgreSQL and then moves quickly into advanced programming topics. Cocoon is an XML publishing engine from the Apache Software Foundation that has emerged as a powerful framework for building complex Web applications. Thanks to an impressive array of input, output, and processing components, Cocoon can enable and simplify many facets of application development -- including internationalization, pooled database access, multibrowser support, portal capabilities, SOAP services, J2EE integration, and email capabilities.Cocoon Developer's Handbook is designed to get developers up and running quickly with Cocoon. The authors start by providing a refreshingly clear picture of what Cocoon is capable of, followed with a methodical examination of each major Cocoon feature accompanied by tested sample code and detailed explanations.
