This is the first book to comprehensively address
PHP and how it can - and should
- be deployed on the IBM i. With
this IBM i-specific point of view, the authors
examine how to transfer skills from a green
screen environment to the Web, become intimately familiar
with PHP's commonly used features, and help start
down the road of highly interactive Web-based application
development.
For decades, the green screen has been the
ubiquitous interface into an organization's data. But with
the advent of HTML, the Internet, and the
browser, combined with the end user's existing familiarity
with the Web, green-screen developers are seeing much
of the demand for their skills diminish in
favor of more Web-enabled technologies. One of those
technologies is the PHP programming language.
A flexible, forgiving
programming style makes PHP easier to learn, and
is just one of the many reasons PHP
tops the list when developers seek to improve
their Web-related skills. While not limited to Web
development, PHP is designed from the ground up
to be the ideal environment to easily build
simple or complex Web-based applications in the most
effective manner possible, while still giving programmers the
control they need.
With this book you will learn
to:
- Build basic PHP applications and how to
structure them;
- Access local and remote resources, as
well as external data sources;
- Manage persistence between
requests & the life of an individual request
from browser to server to browser;
- Tap System
i DB2 database tables from PHP;
- Install and
access MySQL databases on the System i.
