My background – a little bit of perl, BASIC language, html.
This book in the first 2 or 3 chapters walks you through as to 'what is PHP?', after that it becomes confusing, like what one reviewer have posted, the book becomes more of theoritical in its approach.
I would highly recommend 'PHP and MySQL Web Development' for those who are looking for that 'step by step' approach. Nothing like PHP for Dummies but just an indepth guide to proper PHP scripting.
The authors of 'Web Database Application' may be experts in PHP scripting but should need to develop their teaching ability.
Needless to say, this book is gathering dust.

As usual in text books, there is a lot of useless information that is not necessary, but since writers are paid by the word, this is to be expected.
I wish there was a section on MySQL commands.

If you want to read 400+ pages of Hugh and Lane's secret vineyard , then buy this book…BR>The content barely scratches the surface of what you can realise with PHP and MySQL.Gone are the days of creating mediocre small level applications with PHP/MySQL.Today PHP has grown by strengths and this text is hardly and sadly not reflective of that fact.
