Expert PHP and MySQL targets developers who work on mission-critical and high-traffic applications on a daily basis. There are plenty of books that teach people the basics of PHP and MySQL. This book takes a different approach and focuses on best practices and expert techniques that can be applied directly to today's most demanding MySQL-driven PHP applications. The book begins with an overview of PHP, MySQL, and regular expressions. These chapters will not only be a foundation for the rest of the book but also provide tips and tricks thatthe readers can immediately apply to their projects. It then continues onto progressively more advanced topics, including: MySQL storage engines and their real-world uses Practical data reporting techniques for separating business logic from presentation Improved performance and flexibility through caching, multi-tasking, PHP extensions, and MySQL User Defined Functions Security, optimization, and debugging Building high-performance full-text search applications The book uses proven, author-tested design patterns and tools that save developers valuable time but are rarely covered in other PHP or MySQL books. The authors also show how to solve problems when PHP and MySQL alone are not enough and other techniques or third-party tools are necessary. Such is often the casewith dynamic applications that handle immense amounts of data. (For example, the authors show how to use the C language for writing PHP extensions and MySQL User Defined Functions.)Andrew Curioso has been coding in PHP and MySQL for a decade and wrote the e-book Shortcut: Ajax with PHP5 for O'Reilly Media in 2007. His experience includes developing professional-grade PHP and MySQL based web-applications for MITLincoln Laboratory (part of Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and being at the ground-floor of the state-of-the-art web publishing platform Webon at Lycos. Andrew is an invitee to the exclusive Web 2.0 Summit and will be attending in October of 2009. Patrick Galbraith is a Principal Software Engineer at Lycos, adding new PHP and MySQL offerings for Tripod Users, switching remainingapps using Oracle to MySQL as well as other interesting projects. In his ‘spare time’, he maintains DBD::mysql, DBD::drizzle, FederatedX storage engine andthe Memcached Functions for MySQL. He has just authored Developing Web Applications using Perl, Memcached, MySQL, and Apache for Wrox.
