This new edition has been redesigned around the rich
offerings of PEAR. Several of these, including the Template
package and the database-independent query API, are fully
integrated into examples and thoroughly described in the
text. In addition, through a complex sample
application--Hugh and Dave''''s Wine Store--all the important
techniques of dynamic content are introduced. Good design is
emphasized, such as dividing logic from presentation. The
book introduces PHP 5 and MySQL 4.1 features, while
providing techniques that can be used on older versions of
the software that are still in widespread use.
