Murach's was the first book that helped me grasp the concepts and got me onto actually scripting in PHP.” That's what one developer said in an online review of the first edition of Murach's PHP and MySQL. Now, this 2nd Edition does an even better job of delivering the real-world skills you need to develop database-driven websites using PHP and MySQL, two of today's most popular open-source software tools.Section 1 is a quick-start course that shows how to use the latest versions of PHP, MySQL, the Apache web server, and the NetBeans IDE to build your first PHP applications. And right from the start, you'll learn to create applications that conform to the MVC pattern, so they'll be easier to maintain as they grow.Then, Section 2 takes you deep into PHP by covering the skills you'll use every day in professional applications, like how to work with form data, dates, arrays, sessions, cookies, functions, objects, regular expressions, and exceptions. Likewise, Section 3 dives into MySQL, teaching you how to design and create a database, as well as how to access and maintain the data in a database like the professionals do. Finally, Section 4 teaches you important web programming skills like how to secure web pages, prevent SQL injection attacks, guard against XSS attacks, send email, upload files, process images, and access content from other websites. Complete sample applications (all using HTML5 and CSS3) along with chapter exercises provide training support throughout. A great choice for any developer who wants to master PHP without a lot of frustration and unnecessary expense. Review: Five Stars - I have to say I love the Murach's style and organization, along with the clear, easy to understand writing. The organization of having descriptive text on the left side of the seam, and code samples and bullet points on the right side is perfect for both the newbie and the experienced alike, both as a step by step tutorial, and as a very convenient reference for professionals. Review: Great book! I liked that it's not verbose - Great book! I liked that it's not verbose. The author gets straight to the point. Good beginner PHP reference. I liked its layout: text on the left, code, tables, and summaries on the right. It made it very easy to search for stuff. It's a good book to have if you are a computer scientist. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,382,138 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #168 in PHP Programming #224 in MySQL Guides #11,518 in Programming Languages (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 73 Reviews | ## Images ![Murach's PHP and MYSQL: Training & Reference - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TeGCoQ4OL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by T***1 on April 1, 2017* I have to say I love the Murach's style and organization, along with the clear, easy to understand writing.

I liked that it's not verbose *by A***R on February 13, 2016* Great book! I liked that it's not verbose. The author gets straight to the point. Good beginner PHP reference. I liked its layout: text on the left, code, tables, and summaries on the right. It made it very easy to search for stuff. It's a good book to have if you are a computer scientist. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitive in Most Ways *by A***T on December 13, 2014* It's quite in-depth yet easy to read. The expanded web security section is very useful. My only beef with it is that the object-oriented aspects of using PHP to handle MySQL databases (not the part on classes in general) only covers making connections and using prepared statements. It doesn't talk about taking record sets and loading them into objects that have their own functions and private or protected data members (e.g., effectively using PDO::FETCHINTO-based development), rather than just using multidimensional arrays for foreach loop traversal and then procedural code to do more with the instantiated objects. However, that's poorly documented on the php.net site either, so maybe the authors should get a pass. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/10117804-murachs-php-and-mysql-training-and-reference](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/10117804-murachs-php-and-mysql-training-and-reference) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
