Summary: Great Book
Comment: The book was exactly as described. Is in great condition and saved me a bunch of money instead of buying it through my campus bookstore. Delivery was fast. Will order from them again.

Summary: Pathetic, do not buy ---10 stars

Summary: Good starter for PHP in Dreamweaver
Comment: If you already know PHP then this book will be too easy for you. If you know Dreamweaver and want to get into PHP, this book isn't large and can help you a lot.

Summary: Good book for PHP beginner
Comment: I've found this book very useful for a PHP beginner as me. I could make the whole website working with Dreamweaver MX 2004, PHP5 and MySQL 4x on my local machine and test it on a webserver using PHP4x and MySQL 3x.

Hints to work with this book:

ON YOUR LOCAL MACHINE:
1. Do not create password for MySQL
2. When creating Database Connection in Dreamweaver, type in the username as root, but do not type the password.
3. For Admin page, if you get an error, use the error handler shown on page 300, 301 to handle it.

ON A WEBSERVER:
Go through pages and specify host, MySQL username and password (don't miss page 254).

I have enjoyed the book very much.

Summary: Not for beginners or intermediate
Comment: While the content of the book is potentially good, anybody who needs a little handholding might get lost quickly as the author does not give much background information and skips many steps that are second nature to proficient developers. This is where the beginner puts this book away and the intermediate user struggles with finding more information on how-to-do a particular thing. (This starts with the setup of a Apache / MySQL / PHP server and ripples thru the whole book.)

In addition to the content, the book is slightly disorganized and not the easiest reading material. Not so much because of difficulty but because of writing style.

  
Editorial Reviews:
What is this book about?

PHP is one of the most popular server-side scripting languages available. It's powerful and easy to learn. Combined with MySQL — a fast, cross-platform, and free open source database — it makes a very effective tool for developing database-driven websites.

This book is all about developing PHP/MySQL websites with Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, the premier visual website design tool. It will show you how to use Dreamweaver MX to rapidly develop database-driven PHP web applications with the minimum of fuss.

Throughout the book, we use a real-world example application, a hotel room booking system, to demonstrate just how quick and easy it is to build dynamic PHP sites with Dreamweaver MX.

What does this book cover?

Here are just a few of the things you'll find covered in this book:

  • Overview of Dreamweaver MX, PHP, and MySQL
  • Designing a site
  • Using server behaviors to interact with the database
  • Hand-coding and debugging in Dreamweaver

Who is this book for?

This book is for the web professional looking to develop database-driven PHP web applications using Macromedia Dreamweaver MX. Some knowledge of HTML and web design is assumed, but you don't need to know any PHP or MySQL.
