PHP and MySQL: Create – Modify – Reuse

Written by an experienced PHP expert who is in sync with the most common uses of PHP and MySQL, this tutorial presents basic code for twelve functional projects that exemplify the basic concepts and syntax of PHP and MySQL that are used to develop web–based applications.

While some projects build upon previous projects, others stand alone. Whether you are looking for guidance in how to program different applications, seeking inspiration to write projects of your own, or planning to modify and reapply the featured projects, you can look forward to expanding your skill set with these projects.
