PHP MySQL Website Programming shows the development process for a web site using a specific set of technologies: the Apache web server, the MySQL database system, and the PHP scripting language. It takes the reader through the construction of a complete application driven site from design to deployment.Each chapter in the book identifies a task to be accomplished that is necessary for the construction of the site. It suggests a way to go about the required programming, and finally implements a solution based on the discussion. The ideas that are presented and the code that is written, are indicative of the way real world tasks are being completed.What The Book CoversThe primary goal of the web site is to provide content for DVD lovers. This comes in the form of news stories that talk about current events in the DVD market, new releases, advances in technology, and the like. There is also a newsletter that registered users can choose to get via email. In order to get our news to the widest possible audience, we syndicate our news into a standard XML format RSS feed. This will enable people to quickly and easily see what the latest and greatest is.In order to develop a sense of community, we create a discussion board where registered users can create and respond to various topics. We also provide a poll where users can vote on different subjects and see the results.Additionally, we serve advertisements to potentially generate revenue for the site. And finally, we provide a shopping area, where users can add various items, such as DVDs, DVD players, and accessories, to a cart and buy them.The book`s bottom line is to define a good methodology for creating a web site (with functionality that is used on many different kinds of sites, and that you as a programmer may well be working on in the future) by identifying problems, surmising solutions to those problems, and then implementing those solutions using modern development practices.
