Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "If this information is not available, a good alternate choice is localhost."

A block of code is set as follows:

$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '';

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

UPDATE `marc_book`.`book` SET `some_bits` = b '101'
WHERE `book`.`isbn` = '1-234567-89-0' LIMIT 1;

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

tar -xzvf phpMyAdmin-3.4.5-all-languages.tar.gz

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "There are various files available in the Download section."
