Make your websites more dynamic by adding a feedback form, creating
a private area where members can upload images that are
automatically resized, or storing all your content in a database.
David Powers has updated his definitive book to incorporate the
latest techniques and changes to PHP with the arrival of PHP 8. New
features include named attributes, constructor property promotion,
the stricter and more concise match expression, union types, and
more. The problem is, you're not a programmer and the thought of
writing code sends a chill up your spine. Or maybe you've dabbled a
bit in PHP and MySQL, but you can't get past baby steps. If this
describes you, then you've just found the right book. PHP powers
four out of every five websites that use a server-side language. In
combination with the MySQL database it's ideal for creating dynamic
websites. PHP and MySQL are free, easy to use, and provided by many
web hosting companies in their standard packages. This book also
covers MariaDB, a seamless replacement for MySQL that has been
adopted on many web servers. Unfortunately, most PHP books either
expect you to be an expert already or force you to go through
endless exercises of little practical value. In contrast, this book
gives you real value right away through a series of practical
examples that you can incorporate directly into your sites,
optimizing performance and adding functionality such as file
uploading, email feedback forms, image galleries, content
management systems, and much more. Each solution is created with
not only functionality in mind, but also visual design. But this
book doesn't just provide a collection of ready-made scripts: each
PHP solution builds on what's gone before, teaching you the basics
of PHP and database design quickly and painlessly. You'll learn how
to optimize your code using object-oriented programming (OOP)
techniques. By the end of the book, you'll have the confidence to
start writing your own scripts or-if you prefer to leave that task
to others-to adapt existing scripts to your own requirements. Right
from the start, you're shown how easy it is to protect your sites
by adopting secure coding practices. What You Will Learn Design and
build dynamic PHP-based web sites and applications Get started
