PHP is the most popular Open source server-side scripting language, with extensive support available in Dreamweaver MX. This book is a concise, compact, no-nonsense guide that teaches you how to develop accessible, standards compliant PHP-driven Web sites using the latest technologies. PHP 4 and Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 are the development tools.
PHP Web Development with Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 presents real-world tutorials so you can expect fast results as you progress through the book. It also covers vital Web development topics such as Web standards principles and implementation and includes a useful set-up section to guide and get you up-and-running quickly and easily (although admittedly, Apache 1.3 – the most popular Open source Web server and the Web server of choice for serving PHP web sites--isn’t quite as easy to set up as ASP).
About the Author
David Powers David Powers is a writer and broadcaster specializing in Japanese affairs, who also just happens to be passionate about the web. He's been creating websites in Japanese and English (and occasionally other languages) since the days when everything was hand-coded. After trying a wide range of HTML editors, he discovered Dreamweaver 3 and has stayed with Dreamweaver ever since. He taught himself PHP and MySQL when developing a bilingual Japanese-English database that now contains nearly 10,000 records and is growing daily. He has also created several Macromedia-approved extensions for Dreamweaver. When not working on the web, David does the occasional translation (he's translated several plays from Japanese), and enjoys raw fish and sake. Rachel Andrew Rachel Andrew runs her own web solutions company in the UK, <http://www.edgeofmyseat.com> , the company web site also being home to various "web standards"-focused articles and Dreamweaver extensions. Rachel is a member of the Web Standards Project on the Dreamweaver Task Force, and hopes to encourage best practices in the support and use of W3C Standards in Dreamweaver. Rachel also writes CSS and Accessibility tutorials at <http://www.DMXzone.com>. When not writing code, or writing about writing code, Rachel spends time with her daughter, tries to encourage people to use Debian GNU/Linux, studies with the Open University, and enjoys a nice pint of beer.
