Needless to say, although the transition to Effortless E-Commerce was a daunting task, it was thoroughly enjoyable-- and even meditative--as I was able to follow the logic quite well, in spite of being weak in both the SQL commands and actual application (and sessions, which I can simply review from his previous books to get up to speed). To top off the good energy, I have also today begun reading Larry's MySQL book, which serves as a God-sent in preparing me for actually building the sites in Ullman's effortless e-commerce book.Some of the highlights of Larry's book include the presentation of his own voice in more detail than in Visual Quickstart guides. I loved his introductory components that outlined things such as PCI Compliance, security considerations, and advantages/disadvantages of various hosting packages with PHP sites. He also explained in greater detail ways to transfer over one's site from localhost to a paid server, which could involve either password protecting directories with secure information or putting them outside of the Web root, either method dependent on the option available from the corresponding service provider.Most importantly, however, Ullman's book was not only a provider of detailed instructions on how to build two e-commerce sites with varied functionality, but also a demonstrator of new instructional concepts, such as how to use stored procedures (with MySQL); how to incorporate advanced regular expressions; how to use some amazing JQUERY tools for added functionality; and how to use module rewrites to alter the urls for added security and user-friendliness. I found that I was continually learning new concepts, not just repeating the previous pattern for the sole purpose of reinforcement. I have to agree with our Amazon reviewer friend, DeveloperJerry, that a book on M-commerce (mobile e-commerce) using PHP/MySQL would be excellent to see, as it would provide additional stellar examples for devices. In fact, I was so at a loss with finalizing Larry's Effortless E-Commerce book, as it had such appeal that I wanted it to continue on forever, that an M-commerce book would be most welcome, indeed.I plan on continuing to work with the book in actually building the sites from scratch after both reading Larry's MySQL edition and getting more practice with using the phpMyAdmin tool. As a newbie, getting to this stage of development is a very thrilling process, one which I previously found impossible to achieve without the assistance of Larry's phenomenal teaching tools. I will just make concerted prayers, requesting that Larry decides to publish additional commerce books (M-Commerce, for instance) and publishes, possibly, a manual on JQuery specifically. Thank you so much, Larry, for the wonderful learning experience! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Effortless E commerce *by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2010* Effortless E-Commerce touches on a subject that many PHP and MYSQL books touch on but never really walk you through making a website.Larry does that with this book. However, he goes short of making it a complete full featured site. Rather, he gives you a basic dynamic e-commerce site that you can add more advanced features on your own. This is where I think the book was lacking. He doesn't touch on subjects such as product reviews or recommendations etc. I don't know why he didn't since the book is only about 350 pages.He does a good job of explaining what he is doing when he does add certain features. I like his simple basic approach to coding compared to other over complicated coding methods.I give it a 4/5 because it doesn't cover the entire spectrum of possibilities-- which I was hoping he would and allow you to plug in those functionality if you so pleased. Granted they are not that hard to add to your page, still wish he would have covered everything about e-commerce. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars E-commerce all-inclusive and then some! *by F***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2012* Kudos to the author for tackling the subject of implementing a payment system on a web application! Many other books cover the shopping cart topic but don't explain in detail as to how to receive payments.Between the book's two detailed examples of how to accept payments from customers, you will have everything you need to set up your own. I'm not sure why, perhaps due to developers writing the documentation as opposed to real technical writers, but the documentation available on e.g. Authorize.net for implementing their system is just one big puzzle. Yes, you could probably eventually figure it out, but would you really feel secure about your setup? Well I wouldn't be and that's where this book's true colors come into play. It gives you the confidence you need and then some. Heck, if you have some background in PHP/MYSQL and you simply want to setup a secure and efficient user protected website (user registration / login...) without the ecommerce part of it.... look no further. I like the PHO/MYSQL dummy book, but it will only get you started as far as how to build the foundation of a user login system (and rightfully so, it is a beginner's book). This book will teach you the real tricks that will come into play once your project grows bigger and as a results needs to work resource efficient and securely. But again, you will already need to have some PHP/MYSQL experience.Enough said, really one of my favorite PHP books! Also my first book by Larry Ullman. I will certainly be looking for his name next time I'm in the market for a new read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/8598067-effortless-e-commerce-with-php-and-mysql-1st-edition](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/8598067-effortless-e-commerce-with-php-and-mysql-1st-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
