Preface

I n the early 1990s, a revolution was begun. Pioneers such as Richard Stallman, Linus

Torvalds, Eric Raymond, and others created a program called Linux, a concept called

open source, and a governing document called the General Public License ( GPL ).

Although the revolution was sparked by the advent of Linux, it was not limited to the

operating system — the concept of open source software spread to all manner of programs,

generating innovation across the boundaries of computing.

Innovations in open source software spawned servers such as the Apache HTTP server,

the MySQL relational database, and scripting languages such as PHP.

However, open source software is not confined to running on open source operating

systems — Apache, MySQL, and PHP run as well on Microsoft Windows (and other operating

systems) as they do on Linux.

Thankfully, the open source world is both close-knit and prolific. Not only do these tech-

nologies work well on their own, they work even better together. Combining Apache,

MySQL, and PHP, you can easily create and deploy dynamic content on your Web sites.

If you are reading this, you have already decided that knowing these technologies can be

useful, and you want to learn how to use them. In that case, you have obtained the right

book — this structured approach to Apache, MySQL, and PHP teaches you about all three

technologies and how to integrate them in one short weekend.

Who Should Read This Book

This crash course was designed to provide you with short lessons to get you up to speed on

Apache, MySQL, and PHP over one weekend. This book is for the following individuals:

Someone who is new to running Web servers, using relational databases, and/or pro-

gramming using scripting languages. This book covers many of the basic concepts

and techniques necessary to get going with these three technologies. If you are new

to them, you receive a serviceable background to get up and running quickly.

Someone who has experience with similar technologies — administering servers,

working with Web technologies, using relational databases, or programming. This

book covers how the technologies interact, bolsters the knowledge you might already

have, and shows you how to apply it to the technologies discussed in this book.
