Are you a professional or novice to PHP and PostgreSQL 8? If you are, then this book is definitely for you. Authors W. Jason Gilmore and Robert H. Treat, have done an outstanding job of writing a book that offers users an impressive platform for building high-powered Web applications.

Gilmore and Treat, begin by acquainting you with the basics of PHP offering insight into its roots, popularity, and users. Then, the authors show you how to install and configure PHP, as well as, the Apache Web server. Next, they cover the various aspects from the basics of the PHP language and class libraries to topics like authentication, security, session handlers and e-mail functionality. The authors also focus on PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR). They continue by addressing PostgreSQL, including tables and data types, views, functions, indexes and triggers. Then, the authors present the more pertinent PHP functionality to access PostgreSQL. Next, they show you how to install and configure your local test bed. The authors continue by describing the server strain that PG can handle. Then, they show you how to use Smarty and PearDB. Next, the authors also cover the integration between PostgreSQL and PHP; the interface with PostgreSQL from PHP; and how to write reusable queries. Finally, the authors go further by covering the installation and configuration of PostgreSQL.
