In this book in the Developer's Library, Laura Thomson and Luke Welling look at how to use PHP and MySQL together to produce interactive Web applications. The book starts with the basics of PHP, explains how to set up and work with a MySQL database, and then shows how to use PHP to interact with the database and the server.

The book takes a practical, hands-on approach, covers security and authentication as they relate to building a real-world website and show you how to implement these elementsin PHP and MySQL. Integrating front-end and back-end technologies using JavaScript is also included, and the final part of the book consists of step-by-step walkthroughs of several real-world projects including building a web-based email service, integrating with social media, building web forums and shopping carts, and designing an API for your web applications.
