Аннотация
I’ve always felt concerned about unduly raising readers’ expectations with the subtitle of this book, Dynamic Web Design Made Easy. PHP is not difficult, but nor is it like an instant cake mix: just add water and stir.
Every web site is different, so it’s impossible to grab a script, paste it into a web page, and expect it to work.
My aim is to help web designers with little or no knowledge of programming gain the confidence to dive into the code and adjust it to their own requirements.
You don’t need any previous experience of PHP or another programming language to be able to use this book; but it does move at a fast pace. After the first few chapters, you start working with relatively advanced features of the language. Don’t let that put you off. Regard it as a challenge. This book is called PHP Solutions for a reason—to provide solutions to practical problems rather than offer a series of meaningless exercises.
How you use the book will depend on your level of experience. If you’re new to PHP and programming, start at the beginning and work your way gradually through the book. It’s organized as a logical sequence with each chapter building on knowledge and skills gained in previous ones. When describing the code, I try to explain what it does in plain language. I avoid jargon, but not technical terms (each new term is described briefly when it’s first encountered). If you have more experience with PHP, you can probably jump straight into whatever interests you. Even if the code makes sense to you without my explanations, I hope the text throws light onto my thought processes when solving a problem with PHP.
