PHP and PostgreSQL. Advanced Web Programming2002

Since we started working on our first Sams book, PostgreSQL Developer's Handbook, many things have changed. The people we started working with have become friends, and writing has become a key component of our daily life. PostgreSQL has been improved constantly and the development will certainly continue in the future. It is exciting to participate in a tremendous evolution and to see how a group of volunteers develops a database system that can hardly be compared to anything else on this planet. PostgreSQL is not just a database it is a philosophy and it is magic. When reading this book, you might feel the enthusiasm we felt when writing the text and presenting solutions based on PostgreSQL to a wide audience.

You will see that PHP and PostgreSQL are a wonderful team for building powerful Web applications, and in this book you will learn about both platforms.
