Welcome
Welcome to Knowledge is Power, a site dedicated to keeping you up-to-date on the Web security and programming information you need to know. Blah, blah, blah. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
About This Example Site
This is the first example in Larry Ullman's book Effortless E-commerce with PHP and MySQL, published by New Riders around October 2010. I thank you for your interest in this book and this particular project. This site is developed in Part 2 of the book, over the course of four chapters:
- Chapter 3: First Site: Structure and Design
- Chapter 4: User Accounts
- Chapter 5: Managing Site Content
- Chapter 6: Using PayPal
This version of the site differs from that in the book in a couple of ways:
- The book has placeholder links for content you would develop, such as about.php. To avoid errors, I've turned those links on this site to just #.
- There are several extra features that I recommend in Chapter 5 but don't fully develop in the book. For a couple of those--ability to indicate favorite content, listings of viewing history, and the two lists of pages below--I've developed the actual code (which is something that any reader could download, too).
- There is no longer a connection to PayPal. In part, this is because my test account at PayPal expired. But you can still register and take a look around. In the book, a newly registered account is set to expire yesterday, and the expiration is increased after the PayPal transaction. Since that's not possible here, all accounts are now set to expire in two days, giving you time to look around.
Thanks for your time and, again, for your interest!
