About the Authors

W. Jason Gilmore has developed countless PHP applications over the past seven years, and has dozens of articles to his credit on this and other topics pertinent to Internet application development. He has had articles featured in, among others, Linux Magazine and Developer.com, and adopted for use within United Nations and Ford Foundation educational programs. Jason is the author of three books, including most recently the best-selling Beginning PHP and MySQL 5: From Novice to Professional, now in its second edition. These days Jason splits his time between running Apress's Open Source program, experimenting with spatially enabled Web applications, and starting more home remodeling projects than he could possibly complete.

His current involvement includes helping maintain the postgresql.org Web sites, working on phpPgAdmin, and contributing to the PostgreSQL core whenever he can.
