Getting the Most from MySQL and PHP
Zak Greant, eZ systems

Track: PHP
Date: Tuesday, July 23

If Jakob Nielsen dealt with trying to improve the quality of the average PHP/MySQL application, instead of usability, he would surely have become a mass murderer by now.
This tutorial session is meant to enlighten the novice to average PHP developer who is not aware of the full power of the MySQL/PHP combination. It will cover topics like designing databases, writing better queries, building PHP frameworks to autogenerate queries, using MySQL user variables, etc...

May feature a short segment on why PHP is a much finer product than Perl. Will use Damien Conway's Lingua::Romana::Perligata as the example of why Perl is actually an acronym for PERverted Linuguists.
