Product Description

Product Description

PHP is a server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language. ItÕs frequently being used to replace the functionality created by Perl to write CGI scripts). Similar to both HTML and CGI, PHP is faster to program in and faster to execute than CGI. PHP was written specifically for Web site creation, unlike Perl, C, or Java. Companies such as Honda, Patagonia, and Zoom.com all have Web sites utilizing PHP. PHP Advanced for the World Wide Web: Visual QuickPro Guide consists of approximately fifteen chapters of step-by-step content, aimed at teaching specific topics in direct, focused segments. The scripts featured in this book are based on features and capabilities that current PHP users most frequently inquire about (e.g. sessions, authentication, and object-oriented programming). as well as detailing those technologies that will be more important in the future, such as XML and Wireless Access Protocols.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than advanced :), 11 Oct 2002
One of my problems with many books that are "advanced" is that they don't really care about the world around them, and tell you too much information that you don't really need about the language or product - but not with this book.

He not only covers all the issues to do with the more advanced side of PHP, but covers anything to do with it. Such as MySQL (database), a very important feature of a web site.

He explains how the server works with PHP, how XML and PHP work well together and a very good section about Security - a very important issue.

I have always loved the Visual Quickstart and Quickpro Guides from Peach Pit Press, and this one lives up to the standards that I have seen from the other books.

I brought the Quickstart PHP book on the same series by Ullman and anything that wasn't explained in full because it was too completcated, has been explained in full in this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars just another cookbook, 15 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This is a dissapointment, the authors quick start guide was just that, elementary but concise, I can recommend it to students who have come to electronic publishing with insufficient computing experience. This I had hoped would be an "advanced" version in the same clear, concise style. Unfortunately the text is bloated with cookbook style program examples: instead of highlighting the essentials of a technique, a full (yet nonetheless a toy) application is presented. On page 100 for example we have 40 lines of code of the same form: even the dimmest reader should be able to work out the code for every letter of the alphabet given the example case of "A". Elsewhere there are similar cases with names of months and days. And yet with all this verbosity of code the author admits on page 8 that "because of the confines of the book format [...] will not be as well-documented or organised as I would prefer".
The content is good, important topics such as object orientation, database design principles and security are not ignored. This will be a useful text, albeit low end "intermediate" rather than "advanced". It is just a pity that the publishers perception of what the market demands spoils a potentially great book, with superflous examples that would, for those who confuse memesis with learning, be better downloaded than rekeyed.
