商品簡介
Babin, a programmer specializing in web-driven applications, shows PHP users how to incorporate Ajax into their web applications without getting bogged down in JavaScript syntax. Using practical examples and real-world applications, he explains how to use Ajax and PHP together, and gives instructions on updating pages using data retrieved from a MySQL database. He then shows how to create practical Ajax-driven features such as dynamic file upload and thumbnail-generation tools, culminating in the creation of an Ajax-based photo gallery. Other topics covered include web services, cross-browser issues, building spatially enabled web applications using the Google Maps API, and the document object model.
