An Introduction to PHP for Scientists and Engineers:

An Introduction to PHP for Scientists and Engineers:
Beyond JavaScript
PDF | 85 Pages | 2.65 MB

PHP, originally created in 1994 as a ‘Personal Home Page’ tool, is a server-side programming language that can be used to solve numerous computing problems that a client-side language like JavaScript cannot.

This highly useful text/reference presents key information needed to write your own online science and engineering applications, including reading, creating and manipulating data files stored as text on a server, thereby overcoming the limitations of a client-side language. This book focuses on those elements of the language - such as file input/output, arrays, built-in math functions, and user-created functions - that are essential for solving a wide range of scientific/engineering computing problems. It assumes a working knowledge of HTML, programming concepts, and JavaScript, C or a similar language.


Features: - Offers a working knowledge of PHP, essential for server-side programming, - Includes detailed code examples to guide the reader, - Contains several complete applications that show how to take advantage of server-side programming capabilities, - Extremely accessible, and ideal for self-study, - Provides an author-supported supplementary website containing code examples (www.pages.drexel.edu/~brooksdr/DRB_web_page/BookCode/PHPBookCode.htm), - Directly addresses the needs of engineers, scientists and working professionals by explaining precisely those components of PHP required.

This concise applications-oriented text is an exceptional shortcut to learning the essentials of PHP and is ideal for self-study or course use.

Dr. Brooks has authored several successful Springer titles, including: Problem Solving with Fortran 90 for Scientists and Engineers; C Programming: The Essentials for Engineers and Scientists; and An Introduction to HTML and JavaScript for Scientists and Engineers.

Build Your Own Database Driven Web Site Using PHP & MySQL

Build Your Own Database Driven Web Site Using PHP & MySQL, 

 Fourth Edition  | June, 2009 | 360 pages | English | 5.9 MB

PHP and MySQL have changed. Back in 2001, when I wrote the first edition of this book,  readers were astonished to discover that you could create a site full of web pages without  having to write a separate HTML file for each page. PHP stood out from the crowd of programming languages, mainly because it was easy enough  for almost anyone to learn and free to download and install. The MySQL database, likewise, provided a simple and free solution to a problem that, up until that point, had been  solvable only by expert programmers with corporate budgets.

Worse yet, PHP has completely abandoned several of the beginner friendly features that gave  it a competitive advantage in 2001, because they turned out to be oversimplifications, or  could lead inexperienced programmers into building web sites with gaping security holes.

This is a problem if youre the author of a beginners book about PHP and MySQL. PHP and MySQL have changed, and those changes have made writing this book a lot more  difficult. But they have also made this book a lot more important. The more twisty the  path, the more valuable the map, right?

In this book, Ill provide you with a hands on look at whats involved in building a database  driven web site using PHP and MySQL. If your web host provides PHP and MySQL support, youre  in great shape. If not, Ill show you how to install them on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux  computers, so dont sweat it.

This book is your map to the twisty path that every beginner must navigate to learn PHP and  MySQL today. Grab your favorite walking stick; lets go hiking!

PDF | 478 Pages | 10.43 MB

No matter which way you cut it, PHP is pretty amazing: a language strung together by volunteer programmers that today has the enviable distinction of being in use on more than a third of the planet’s Web servers. Flexible, scalable, extensible, stable, open—PHP is all of these and more, which is why it’s one of the most popular programming toolkits in the world.

In PHP, there are usually several ways to accomplish any given task. Some of them are better than others, but a few of them—mainly, anything that requires the globals command—are outright wrong. This is always confusing to programmers new to PHP because if there are several correct ways to accomplish a task, how do you know which one is the best? “Best Practices” has been a theme in the PHP community for several yearsnow as an attempt to answer this question

PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide
PDF | 648 Pages | 11 MB

It hasn't taken Web developers long to discover that when it comes to creating dynamic, database-driven Web sites, MySQL and PHP provide a winning open source combination. Add this book to the mix, and there's no limit to the powerful, interactive Web sites that developers can create. With step-by-step instructions, complete scripts, and expert tips to guide readers, veteran author and database designer Larry Ullman gets right down to business:
After grounding readers with separate discussions of first the scripting language (PHP) and then the database program (MySQL), he goes on to cover security, sessions and cookies, and using additional Web tools, with several sections devoted to creating sample applications.

This guide is indispensable for intermediate- to advanced level Web designers who want to replace their static sites with something dynamic. In this edition, the bulk of the new
material covers the latest versions of both technologies: PHP 6 (due out in 2008) and MySQL5
(available now). The book's publication date is likely to beat the official release of PHP6,
making it one of the first books available on the subject.
