Руководство по PHP

    PHP, что означает "PHP: Препроцессор Гипертекста", является широко используемым языком сценариев общего назначения с открытым исходным кодом. PHP создавался специально для ведения Web-разработок и может использоваться непосредственно в HTML-коде. Синтаксис языка берет начало из C, Java и Perl и является легким для изучения. Преимущественным назначением PHP является предоставление web-разработчикам возможности быстрого создания динамически генерируемых web-страниц, однако, область применения PHP не ограничивается только этим.
   Это руководство состоит, главным образом, из справочника функций, а также содержит справочник языка, комментарии к наиболее важным из отличительных особенностей PHP, и другие дополнительные сведения.

Build Your Own Database Driven Website using PHP and MySQL - Kevin Yank - 2003.

   This book is aimed at intermediate or advanced Web designers looking to make the leap into server-side programming. You'll be expected to be comfortable with simple HTML, as I'll make use of it without much in the way of explanation. No knowledge of JavaScript is assumed or required, but if you do know JavaScript, you'll find it will make learning PHP a breeze.

   By the end of this book, you can expect to have a grasp of what's involved in setting up and building a database-driven Website. If you follow the examples, you'll also learn the basics of PHP (a server-side scripting language that gives you easy access to a database, and a lot more) and Structured Query Language (SQL - the standard language for interacting with relational databases) as supported by MySQL, one of the most popular free database engines available today. Most importantly, you'll come away with everything you need to get started on your very own database-driven site in no time!

PHP and MySQL For Dummies - 2nd Edition - Janet Valade - 2004.

   Think of this book as your friendly guide to building a Web database application. This book is designed as a reference, not as a tutorial, so you don’t have to read this book from cover to cover, unless you want to. You can start reading at any point in the book - in Chapter 1, Chapter 9, wherever. I divide the task of building a Web database application into manageable chunks of information, so check out the table of contents and locate the topic that you’re interested in. If you need to know information from another chapter to understand the chapter you’re reading, I reference that chapter number.

Here’s a sample of the topics that I discuss in this book:
- Building and using a MySQL database
- Adding PHP to HTML files
- Using the features of the PHP language
- Using HTML forms to collect information from users
- Showing information from a database in a Web page
- Storing information in a database

PHP5 For Dummies - Janet Valade - 2004.

   Think of this book as a friendly introduction to programming in PHP. This book is both an introduction to programming and an introduction to PHP. The book starts with the basics of PHP, including how to tell whether you need to install it. (Full installation instructions are included in Appendix A.) The book describes the basic features of PHP with examples of their use. If you have experience with programming, you can probably just skim this section, but if you don’t, all the programming basics are here.  
   The book goes on to describe the most common uses of PHP. It shows how to write scripts for Web sites, file manipulation, databases, and other common tasks. It provides techniques and shortcuts and warns against common errors. Both beginners and experienced programmers can write useful scripts for many common applications in a very short time by using the information in the application section (Part IV) of the book.
