SitePoint Releases Third Edition of a Classic PHP/MySQL Book

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Developers who want to create dynamic, database-driven Websites
now have the third edition of "Build Your Own Database-Driven
Website Using PHP & MySQL" to help them.

The third edition of SitePoint's best-selling PHP & MySQL book,
written by Kevin Yank, features updated install instructions for
PHP 5, new screenshots throughout, as well as an additional
chapter on structured PHP programming.

"PHP is easy to learn and will get you results in a hurry, but
it has a lot of depth as well, which means your projects have
room to grow," notes Yank. "PHP has a very enthusiastic
community of developers, and it's an exciting time for
anyone to join that group"

"Build Your Own Database-Driven Website Using PHP &
MySQL, 3rd Edition" (SitePoint, $39.95), is targeted at first-time
PHP programmers who are familiar with HTML and the basics of
web design.

Throughout the book, readers follow along and build real-world,
practical applications in PHP such as a Content Management
System, and an ecommerce shopping cart.

Readers also learn to secure their databases, make automatic
backups, send email based on triggered events, use sessions
and much more.

The book includes full instructions on obtaining and installing
all the necessary software for PHP Development on a Windows PC,
a Mac, and in Linux.
