From the charmingly outdated to the weirdly still-relevant, this fossil of functional scripting belongs on the shelf of any developer who appreciates the sound of a dial-up modem in the morning.

Riassunto

This is a comprehensive guide to PHP, a simple yet powerful language for creating dynamic Web content. It is a detailed reference to the language and its applications, including such topics as form processing, sessions, databases, XML, and graphics and covers PHP 4, the latest version of the language. This book explains PHP language syntax and programming techniques in a clear and concise manner, with numerous examples that illustrate both correct usage and common idioms. The book also includes style tips and practical programming advice that should help you become not just a PHP programmer, but a good PHP programmer. Contents of the book include: information on the basics of the PHP language, including data types, variables, operators, and flow control statements; separate chapters on the fundamental topics of functions, strings, arrays, and objects; coverage of common PHP Web application techniques, such as form processing and validation, session tracking, and cookies; material on interacting with relational databases, such as MySQL and Oracle, using the database-independent PEAR DB library; chapters on generating dynamic images, creating PDF files, and parsing XML files with PHP; and advanced topics, like creating secure script, error handling, performance tuning, and writing your own C language extensions to PHP.

L'autore

started the PHP Project back in 1995 and has been actively involved in PHP development ever since. Also involved in a number of other Open Source projects, Rasmus is a longtime Apache contributor and foundation member. He is the author of the first edition of the PHP Pocket Reference, and the co-author of Programming PHP.

Kevin Tatroe has been a Macintosh and Unix programmer for ten years. Being lazy, he's attracted to languages and frameworks that do much of the work for you, such as the AppleScript, Perl, and PHP languages and the WebObjects and Cocoa programming environments. Kevin, his wife Jenn, his son Hadden, and two cats live on the edge of the rural plains of Colorado, just far away enough from the mountains to avoid the worst snowfall, and just close enough to avoid tornadoes. The house is filled with LEGO creations, action figures, and other toys.
