"Core Web Application Development with PHP and MySQL" (Prentice Hall, 858
pgs, US$49.99, ISBN 0-13-186716-4) is the programmer's guide to building
robust web applications with PHP and MySQL. 

This is a comprehensive, practical guide for programmers who want to develop
production-quality, database-enabled web applications with PHP and MySQL.
Long-time developer, Author Marc Wandschneider, addresses the entire
process: not only coding, but also upfront application, user interface and
database design, PLUS security, testing, and more.

He walks through building three applications from start to finish: a
calendaring system, a weblog engine, and an e-commerce store. Along the way,
he demonstrates how to master essential strategies for creating robust web
database applications and how to avoid the common pitfalls that trip up many
developers moving to PHP and MySQL.

The book comes bundled with a CD-ROM that contains all the source code from
the book, including the three applications. 

Topics include:
* Starts with a complete primer on PHP for developers, including coverage of
code organization, reuse, and object-oriented PHP 
* Contains detailed treatments of data access, including transactions,
foreign keys, and indexes 
* Presents powerful data validation techniques utilizing PHP regular
expressions 
* Walks through planning web applications, including user interfaces and
user management 
* Offers systematic guidance on securing web applications from end to end 
* Covers a wide range of implementation issues including
internationalization, error handling, data validation, debugging, session
management, and deployment 
* Includes detailed chapters on XML, XML-based web services, and the PEAR
framework for reusable PHP components 
* Shows how to work with the Oracle and PostgreSQL databases 

Early praise:
