PHP, Apache, and MySQL are the three key open source technologies that form the basis for most active Web servers.

The multi-platform approach addresses installation and usage on both Linux® and Windows®, and two common-themed, reusable Web sites are examined. Upon completion of this book, you'll be able to create well designed, dynamic Web sites using open source tools.
