Product Description

Apache, MySQL, PHP3, and IMP… the pieces exist. Each piece has been described ad nauseam. What does not exist is a guide to the marriage of these software technologies into a useful book, until now. This book puts together information on installing, setting up, and troubleshooting each of these technologies into one complete volume. You also learn how each piece is part of a whole by learning, step-by-step, how to create a web-based e-mail system. Learn to run the Linux equivalent of Active Server Pages (ASP) using PHP3, set up an e-commerce site using a database and the Apache web server, and create a data entry system (such as sales, product quality tracking, customer preferences, etc) that requires no installation in the PC.

Customer Reviews

The title of this book is a misnomer
The title of this book is misleading. It is actually no more than a guide to installing MySQL, Apache, PHP and IMP on RedHat Linux and setting up a web based email service.

Plenty of information on IMAP, but not that much good as a general PHP/MySQL text, as the title implies.

Definitely not what I expected
What's said on the cover and what the book actually contains are two different things. It's most probably the book I've been most disappointed with in a very long time.

Good if it's what you want to do!
I was trying to set up a web based email service and this book helped me a lot - I didn't know much about installing the various packages and even less about sendmail but with the book's help I got it all up and running and working perfectly. So whatever the other reviewers say, it's a really good book if you're looking to do something similar.
