Intermediate and advanced readers are invited to jump around
as necessary; after all, this isn??™t a romance novel. Regardless of your reading strategy,
I??™ve attempted to compartmentalize the material found in each chapter so that you
can quickly learn each topic without having to necessarily master other chapters beyond
those that concentrate on the technology fundamentals.
Furthermore, novices and seasoned PHP and MySQL developers alike have something
to gain from this book, as I??™ve intentionally organized it in a hybrid format of
both tutorial and reference. I appreciate the fact that you have traded hard-earned
cash for this book, and therefore have strived to present the material in a fashion that
will prove useful not only the first few times you peruse it, but far into the future.

Introducing PHP
In many ways the PHP language is representative of the stereotypical open source
project, created to meet a developer??™s otherwise unmet needs and refined over time
to meet the needs of its growing community.
