PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide (2nd Edition)

The first example I'll demonstrate in this book will be a content management site. The application will manage both URLs and files, which users can add, display, and access. I won't create an administrative side of the site, although I include notes at the end of the chapter as to how that would be accomplished.

Although the focus in this chapter is on a specific example, a few new functions and techniques will also be taught. The new functions include mysql_insert_id(), serialize(), urlencode(), array_diff(), and list().
