This is a very simple contacts database written in PHP/MySQL as a companion to a November 2002 article I wrote for MacWorld: Serve It Up. OS X and its Unix underpinnings were new, and MacWorld wanted to run articles showcasing the Mac’s entry into Unix-side server capabilities at the desktop level.
MacWorld no longer links to this sample application, but it should still be useful to anyone wanting to learn PHP/MySQL with a simple (but useful), well-commented starter application.
