What's new in this edition

The first edition of this book has been very popular, and I've received a lot of positive feedback on it (thanks!). In writing this new edition, I wanted to do more than just update the material for the latest versions of PHP and MySQL, although that is an overriding consideration throughout the book. Other new features you'll find are:

• Expanded and updated installation and configuration instructions
  
  
• Many new, advanced MySQL and SQL examples
  
  
• An entire chapter dedicated to error management and debugging
  
  
• New examples demonstrating techniques frequently requested by readers
  
  
• A broader range of extended topics
  
  

For those of you that also own the first edition (thanks!), I believe that these new features will also make this edition a required fixture on your desk or bookshelf.
