Required Software

This section lists the software components you must have installed to use this book, and the Web sites where you can get them. You may find many of them already available, particularly if you have an account with an ISP that offers Web-hosting services to its customers. There are three major required components:

  • MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/)

    The MySQL database management system underlies almost all the applications in this book. I used the MySQL 3.23.xx series to write the applications, but most of them should work without modification under 3.22.xx version as well. (There are a few exceptions, such as applications that require transactions; transaction support is not present in MySQL 3.22.xx.)

  • Perl (http://www.perl.com/, http://www.activestate.com/ ...
