PHP has become one of the most popular languages for powering web content worldwide. This title serves as a compendium of practices and solutions. It is intended for the novice and the expert in PHP. It offers solutions that cover a large range of topics, including database access, dynamic web page creation, and so-called Web 2.0 technologies.
With the release of PHP 5 web developers need a guide to developing with PHP 5 to both learn its complex new features and more fully implement the long-standing features on which PHP's success is built. PHP 5 in Practice is a reference guide that provides developers with easy-to-use and easily extensible code to solve common PHP problems. It focuses on providing real code solutions to problems, allowing the reader to learn by seeing exactly what is happening behind the scenes to get your solution. Because a real-life situation will rarely match the book's example problems precisely, PHP 5 in Practice explains the solution well enough that you will understand it and can learn how to truly solve your own problem.
