Users examine HTML and CSS as they apply to database-centered web design and follow that with a very detailed introduction to PHP - one of the core programming languages on the Internet today. Intermediate users will review the specifics of web publishing with FileMaker, then immediately move into specific concepts such as database portals, value lists, and complex navigation systems.

 The best PHP resource for FileMaker that I've found June 18, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Allyson, Stephen and Michael have put together an invaluable resource for putting FileMaker data on the web via PHP. The book is very well written with extremely clear example that are easy to follow. As a bonus, it's also a survey of html and css, too.
If Amazon allowed a 6-star rating, this book would have earned it. Great job, guys!
 Good foundation March 28, 2008

If you are just starting out using FileMaker with the web it's a must read. It shows several outstanding techniques for setting up pages.
This is a very good book for beginners in FileMaker and PHP. It puts down a good foundation for starting but like so many other books it starts out with several chapters explaining the extreme basics so you are half way through the book before you get to the meat of the topic. Once the books starts getting in to the functions of PHP with FileMaker it stops just short of a little more involved explanation. I don't mean for that to sound like a rip on the book, but would like to see a little more advanced book on this subject.
Like I said I think this was a very well written book and covered the topic well I was just hoping for something a little more advanced.
