A masterpiece.

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 2, 2006

David Powers has written a masterpiece in "Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8." This book is incredibly well conceived, well written, well edited, and well supported.

The detailed chapters on installation and configuration of Apache, PHP, and MySQL for both Windows and Macintosh are works of art in and of themselves, walking the reader through the complex process...

Excellent intro to PHP/MySQL and many other ancillary subjects

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 7, 2006

I don't know about anyone else, but I rarely look at the author's name on tutorial-type books like these. I just want the info and the author's name is one piece of info I skip over. David Powers is one exception. I read another book by David Powers (et. al) "PHP Dreamweaver MX 2004" prior to this one and loved it. This current book "Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8" is also a great book. I felt almost euphoric with the things...

By Thriftbooks.com User, February 8, 2006

I never had to wait long to get resolution to fix my understanding, when I did have a problem, because David Powers himself helped me over the hurdles via forum support. For that reason...

Wow, this book is good...

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 10, 2006

I already had a basic understanding of Dreamweaver in creating some basic web pages, but I had a hard time finding a good PHP book. This book shows you how to combine the cool new features of Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and the scripting power of PHP. I had done some scripting before with ASP but not with PHP. This book takes you from the beginning in setting up the work environment of a web server (APACHE or IIS) and database...
