Foundation PHP 5 for Flash
Build Database-Driven Rich Internet Applications with Flash, PHP, and MySQL! - Covers PHP 5, MySQL 4.1, and ActionScript 2.0
David Powers - Collection Foundation
Résumé
- Use Flash and PHP to communicate with external data sources, such as RSS feeds and databases
- Learn the fundamentals of PHP 5, the latest version of the Web's most popular server-side technology
- Understand database design principles
- Install, configure, and troubleshoot a complete PHP, MySQL, and Apache setup
- Use good, secure PHP and Flash programming practices
Are you a reasonably experienced Flash user who has mastered the basics, but wish you could take your SWFs further into the realm of dynamic, data-rich applications? Well, look no further.
The book you're holding brings together three of the Web's hottest technologies: Flash, the server-side language PHP, and the MySQL database system. It's completely up to date, covering ActionScript 2.0, PHP 5.0, and MySQL 4.1, but the information it provides is version neutral In other words, you can be confident that you're working with the latest standards, but your applications won't break if you deploy them on an older server. The book also provides a brief introduction to an alternative database system, SQLite, which is now automatically bundled with PHP 5 and requires no installation.
Each chapter presents an overview of a new area of PHP/MySQL, introducing you to the syntax while showing how it compares to ActionScript and how it integrates with Flash to produce increasingly sophisticated applications. For example, earlier chapters cover topics such as how to get data from PHP to Flash and back again, variables, arrays, string manipulation, user input validation, and feedback forms. Later chapters move on to more advanced subjects, such as creating databases via the MySQL console and via phpMyAdmin, manipulating database data via a Flash interface, displaying data from an RSS feed in Flash, persisting data with sessions, and creating a full-blown content management system.
In addition, to get you up and running, the book features a detailed guide to setting up your environment-PHP, MySQL, and the Apache web server-along with extensive troubleshooting information.
PHP is the language of choice on nearly 18 million domains, and MySQL has more than 5 million active users, including industry leaders like Google, the Associateo1 Press, Sony, and NASA. Both PHP and MySQL are open source and free, and with the help of this book, you'll see that they're easy and fun to learn as well.
L'auteur - David Powers
David Powers has been professionally involved with the electronic media for 30 years, mostly in radio and television. He was a BBC Tokyo correspondent in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but more recently has concentrated on Internet projects. He built his first web site in 1995, and was instantly hooked. Eventually, the sheer tedium of updating content convinced him there must be a better way. After a brief flirtation with ASP, he experimented with PHP, and found himself hooked yet again. Fluent in Japanese, David specializes in building Japanese-English bilingual web sites, writing about Japan, and translating Japanese (he has translated several plays). He is coauthor of Foundation Dreamweaver MX 2004 (friends of ED, 2004), and has worked as technical reviewer on a number of web-related titles for the Apress group.
