Introduction
You cannot open a book without learning something. - Confucius
People learn PHP for many reasons. Every language has a bit of a learning curve and one can get bogged down in two much theory that it can make it unappealing because the task ahead seems odious. Maybe you want to build a simple blog or something as advanced as a massive online e-commerce site with thousands of products up for sale. It is hard to know where to start getting the needed knowledge.
If you are looking for a way to get going fast in order to make you visions a reality then you have come to the right place! This books aims at getting you started on your journey to PHP and MySQL mastery in 4 hours! It does this by telling you the most important stuff you need to know to get started quickly for the absolute beginner, in either PHP or MySQL, so you get to doing useful stuff as quickly as possible.
This is not a comprehensive guide to PHP and MySQL that covers all the aspects but a crash course that gives you a practical guide on how to do really cool basic things with PHP and MySQL on their own and together. The two can get pretty advanced but with the knowledge in this book, you should be able to get that prototype up and running as you tackle the more advanced topics.
A little knowledge of HTML and CSS will be needed before because, really, PHP is just a language that is used to produce web pages and its final output is HTML. We will go over all the basics of PHP and MySQL and finally put it all together and build simple web site where you will be able to store a records of your favourite artists using the dynamic duo.
The basics are all you need to get going in 4 hours (and this book, of course) is all you need.
But what is PHP or MySQL and why do you need it to accomplish this previously impossible task?
PHP stands for Hypertext Processor. It is a server side scripting language that is used to produce dynamic web content among other things. This means that everything PHP does is not done on the computer that is used to view the web pages, called the client, but a specialised computer called a server that houses all the webpages that you are viewing on the client machine.
Being a scripting language means that PHP can't really be used to make standalone applications that run on your computer as it is designed to only do things when an event happens within web pages like; clicking on a link or getting form data when a web form is sent.
You can embed PHP into your HTML web pages and produce pages that are customised according to the information you get from your users. This ends up making webpages more exciting rather than if they were just static.PHP can be used to produce web pages because its final output is HTML.
It is very efficient in the server side, widely used, cross-platform (runs on Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac OS X, etc.) and easier to learn than any other fully featured language like C, Java or Perl.
PHP is also very powerful. If you ever doubt its power, just look carefully at the link in your browser next time you decide to log on to Facebook. You will notice that the largest social networking site on the planet is powered by PHP! Even Wikipedia (That site which tells you everything you need to know) is powered by PHP. That is the power that is behind PHP, and it makes it a good alternative to its competitors such as Microsofts Active Server Pages (ASP).
It also has an active community that can really help you in a bind and always active.
According to the http://www.w3schools.com PHP page; this is what PHP will allow you to do:
PHP can generate dynamic page content
PHP can create, open, read, write, delete, and close files on the server
PHP can collect form data
PHP can send and receive cookies
PHP can add, delete, modify data in your database (that is why it is a perfect match for MySQL)
PHP can be used to control user-access
PHP can encrypt data
MySQL is a popular open source relational database that uses SQL as its base. It enables you to store, retrieve and manipulate data. It is a highly efficient and scalable solution that is also cost effective.
Many web based programs (including computer programs) use databases to store their information. Things like social applications need a place to store user information, pictures, posts, comments etc. that is where a database like MySQL comes in handy and makes storing and retrieving large amounts of information a breeze.
SQL, often pronounced as sequel, stands for Structured Query Language. It is simply a language designed for management of data by databases like MySQL. They use SQL to send and retrieve data using specialised commands that really arent all that hard to learn. And most importantly, for this book, you can embed SQL into programming languages like PHP.
Also, MySQL is open source and is available for free and can be changed by modifying the source code, if particular features dont suit your fantacy.
This book is separated into four main chapters or hours that help you get to the heart of PHP and SQL and send you on your way to being a master in no time.
In the first hour we will spend time installing the much needed web server package called XAMPP . I recommend that you download it here:
https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html before we start that chapter. This will enable us to run examples throughout this book. Then we shall pick a text editor for our PHP code. Then we will look at how to run PHP scripts and, finally, we shall cover some of the basics of PHP, such as comments, variables, constants and operators.
The examples in this book can be typed out or, to save time, copied and then pasted into your code editor or command line interface.
In the second hour, we shall continue with PHP and cover conditional statements, Loops, Arrays and functions. After this chapter, you should consider yourself well acquainted with PHP to tackle further advanced topics.
You can take a break after this part and let it all sink in and make another cup of coffee.
In the third hour we tackle MySQL and its commands, but first we learn how to access the command line. Then we move on to the commands that let us create and delete databases; create, alter and delete tables; insert, select, update and delete data in the tables.
