From the Back Cover
Beginning PHP6, Apache, MySQL® Web Development
With this guide, you'll quickly learn why the combination of PHP, Apache, and MySQL is rapidly becoming the most popular way to develop dynamic web sites. It gives you the best possible foundation for understanding how the core components work separately and together, enabling you to take full advantage of everything they have to offer.
You'll discover how to utilize the key features of these technologies as you follow two projects to create complete web sites. These projects take you through the basics, such as writing PHP code, building a MySQL database, filling the database with data, and showing specific information to your visitors. You'll then incorporate some of the more complex topics of working with PHP, Apache, and MySQL as you progress step by step through the development of each site.
When you've finished this book, you'll have a thorough understanding of the core concepts you need to become an effective developer. Plus you'll be able to create a well-designed, dynamic web site using freely available tools.

这本书的封面设计,坦白说,第一眼并没有给我留下什么深刻的印象。那种经典的教科书式的布局,色彩搭配也偏向于稳妥的蓝灰色调,透露着一股“我就是来教你技术的”的务实感,但缺少了一点点能抓住眼球的现代感。不过,内容为王,我翻开目录时,心里那杆秤就开始悄悄地倾斜了。这套组合——PHP、Apache、MySQL——简直是Web开发初学者的黄金三角。我尤其欣赏作者在章节划分上的逻辑性。它不是那种堆砌技术名词的晦涩手册,而是以一个实际项目的流程来组织知识点。比如,它会先让你搭建好环境(Apache和MySQL的基础配置),再引入PHP的语法基础,然后紧接着就教你如何用PHP去查询和操作数据库。这种“学完一个知识点,立刻就能在实际操作中看到效果”的学习路径,对于像我这样,离开了动手实践就无法吸收知识的门外汉来说,是极其友好的。它避免了那种“先学完厚厚一沓理论,最后才告诉你怎么把它们串起来”的挫败感。我期待后续章节能深入到更细致的错误处理和性能优化的部分,毕竟,从“能跑起来”到“跑得好”中间的鸿沟才是真正的学习难点。总而言之,从排版和结构来看,这本书的目标非常明确:为新手铺设一条清晰、无障碍的Web开发入门高速公路。
评分当我深入阅读关于MySQL的部分时,我发现作者在讲解SQL语言的精髓时,采取了一种非常生活化的类比方式,这对我这种对传统数据库理论感到头疼的人来说,简直是一股清流。例如,讲解JOIN操作时,他不是直接抛出INNER JOIN、LEFT JOIN的枯燥定义,而是用“在两个不同班级的学生花名册中,找出都参加了运动会的学生名单”这样的场景来解释其背后的集合逻辑。这种叙事手法,极大地降低了概念的抽象程度。然而,美中不足的是,在涉及到一些更复杂的数据库设计范式(如第三范式)时,我觉得笔墨稍嫌单薄。讲解停留在“为什么要这样做”的层面,但“具体如何一步步将一个非规范化的表拆解到符合范式的标准”的实操演示不够详尽。我希望看到更多“坏设计”到“好设计”的对比案例,而不是仅仅停留在理论的介绍。毕竟,实际工作中遇到的最大挑战往往是如何修复或优化那些前人留下的“烂摊子”。如果能在每个数据库章节的末尾增加一个“陷阱与对策”的小栏目,专门讨论新手常犯的性能错误,那这本书的实用价值将再次飙升。目前来看,它是一个坚实的地基,但上层的结构还需要读者自己去添砖加瓦。
评分这本书的PHP部分,尤其是在讲解面向对象编程(OOP)概念时,展现出了一种令人耳目一新的教学思路。很多教材要么把OOP讲得过于理论化,充斥着继承树和接口的抽象讨论,要么就干脆跳过,直接教你用函数库。但这本书却巧妙地将PHP的类和对象与构建一个小型博客系统的模块划分联系起来。例如,定义一个`User`类来管理登录状态,定义一个`Post`类来处理文章的创建和显示。这种“边做边学”的实战导向,让“封装”、“继承”这些曾经让我望而生畏的词汇,变得具体可感。我特别喜欢它对魔术方法的应用讲解,那些`__get`, `__set`的演示,简直是打开了新世界的大门,让我看到了PHP底层灵活性的冰山一角。不过,对于PHP 6这个版本(假设这本书基于当时最新的规范),我注意到一些较新的特性,比如某些异步处理的概念,似乎没有被充分探讨。我明白初级教材必须有所取舍,但对于一个渴望紧跟时代脚步的读者来说,哪怕只是提供一个简短的“进阶阅读推荐”或“PHP未来展望”的附录,也会让人感觉物超所值,不至于读完后总感觉知识点停留在了上一个大版本。
评分Apache服务器配置这块内容的讲解,是本书我感觉最接地气的部分。它没有一上来就让你去修改复杂的`httpd.conf`文件,而是循序渐进地从虚拟主机(Virtual Host)的设置讲起。作者似乎深知,对于新手来说,配置文件的各种指令(Directives)简直是一团乱麻,所以他用大量的注释和详细的路径解释,确保你每输入一行配置,都能清晰地知道它在服务器端的作用。我尤其赞赏它对安全方面的基础设置的强调,比如如何限制目录列表的权限,以及基础的`.htaccess`文件用法。这体现了作者的责任心,教会读者搭建一个能用的系统固然重要,但教会他们搭建一个相对安全的环境,则更为关键。唯一的不足,或许在于对性能调优的讨论略显保守。在介绍完基本运行模式后,对于如PHP-FPM的引入、或者更高级的缓存机制(如OpCache的配置)只是一笔带过。对于一个致力于“Web开发”而非“Web演示”的读者而言,当数据量上去后,这些性能瓶颈的解决思路才是真正决定项目成败的关键。希望未来修订版能增加一个专门讨论“生产环境准备”的章节。
评分整体而言,这本书带给我的感觉更像是一位经验丰富的老工匠,而非一个只会照本宣科的理论教授。它的语气是鼓励性的,但绝不溺爱。它会毫不留情地指出代码中常见的逻辑错误,并提供纠正的思路,而不是直接给出完美的答案。这种“引导式教学”,迫使我必须自己动手调试,才能真正理解错误信息背后的含义。例如,在整合PHP与Apache的安全权限传递时,作者的示例代码清晰地展示了路径和用户权限的相互制约关系,我甚至因此反思了自己过去在本地开发时为了图方便而设置的过于宽松的权限。这种思维模式的迁移,才是学习编程的真正价值所在。如果说非要挑一个让我感到略微遗憾的地方,那就是它在“前端展示层”的着墨太少。虽然名字是Web开发,但最终用户看到的是HTML和CSS,这本书似乎默认读者已经掌握了这些。在数据成功从MySQL取出后,如何用优雅(哪怕是初级)的前端代码去展示这些数据,书中的示例代码显得有些粗糙和陈旧。这使得初学者在完成后端逻辑后,可能会在“如何让页面看起来不那么像上世纪九十年代”这个问题上卡住。不过瑕不掩瑜,对于想扎实掌握后端三剑客的读者,这本书无疑提供了一个极其可靠、充满实战智慧的起点。
