PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide (1st Edition)-->Downloads

Every script and SQL command in the text is available here to be downloaded. Although these scripts are numbered and named as they are in the book, they do include any updates and changes as warranted by errors which were found after publication. Thus, if you are having problems with a particular script, download the most current version here or check the errata section. If you find a problem with one of the scripts here, please contact me with the details.

N.B.: These scripts correspond to the FIRST EDITION of the book. If you are using the second edition of the book, you should go to that Web site.

These scripts have been formatted with line breaks that will work on most systems running most text editors. If you have difficulty opening a script, try:

  • adjusting the way your text editor treats text files
  • using a different text editor, if possible
  • posting a message to the online forum, asking for help
  • contacting me and I will try to assist
