About This Publication
**Building CRUD Applications with PHP and MySQL** is designed to take you from PHP beginner to confident web application developer through systematic, hands-on learning. This book focuses exclusively on practical skills you need to build real-world web applications. You'll master the fundamental CRUD operations that power virtually every web application: creating new records, reading and displaying data, updating existing information, and deleting records safely. Each operation is taught through complete, working examples that demonstrate both the technical implementation and the user interface considerations. The learning approach emphasizes understanding over memorization. You'll learn why certain techniques are preferred, how to structure your code for maintainability, and how to implement security measures that protect your applications from common vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting. By completing this book, you'll have built several working web applications and gained the confidence to tackle your own PHP projects. The final project brings together everything you've learned into a comprehensive contact management system that serves as a template for future applications. The book includes practical appendices with MySQL reference materials, common PHP functions, SQL templates, deployment checklists, and troubleshooting guides that serve as ongoing resources for your development work.
