Product Description

Review

"...there is no unnecessary waffle, but plenty of code to get your teeth into. It's a desktop guide for quick reference, so not all your queries will be answered, but it will certainly point you in the right direction. An indispensable guide to PHP programming." .net, May 2006


Product Description

Now installed on more than 20 million Internet domains around the world, PHP is an undisputed leader in web programming languages. The database connectivity, powerful extensions, and rich object-orientation are all reasons for its popularity, but nearly everyone would agree that, above all, PHP is one of the easiest languages to learn and use for developing dynamic web applications. The ease of development and simplicity of PHP, combined with a large community and expansive repository of open source PHP libraries, make it a favorite of web designers and developers worldwide. "PHP in a Nutshell" is a complete reference to the core of the language as well as the most popular PHP extensions. This book doesn't try to compete with or replace the widely available online documentation. Instead, it is designed to provide depth and breadth that can't be found elsewhere. "PHP in a Nutshell" provides the maximum information density on PHP, without all the fluff and extras that get in the way. The topic grouping, tips, and examples in this book complement the online guide and make this an essential reference for every PHP programmer. This book focuses on the functions commonly used by a majority of developers, so you can look up the information you need quickly. The topics include: object-oriented PHP; networking; string manipulation; working with files; database interaction; XML; Multimedia creation; and Mathematics. Whether you're just getting started or have years of experience in PHP development, "PHP in a Nutshell" is a valuable addition to your desk library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference Book, 29 Dec 2005
By Richard McLeod (Somerset, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book is great if you already have an understanding of PHP, it's concise and yet gives a very good over all view of anything you are likely to use PHP for. If you are a begginer I would recommend learning from another book and then using this one as a reference and to learn more complex parts of the language.

5.0 out of 5 stars definitive, 6 Mar 2006
By D. Graham "dave graham" (Wakefield, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm fairly new to PHP, having implemented a couple of basic features in one of my websites. That said, this book is an invaluable aid, complementing the online PHP manual as a useful, concise reference guide. It not only covers the language core, but also looks at PHP extensions. Covers how to install PHP5, object-oriented PHP, file and string manipulation, HTML forms and other topics such as XML and multimedia.

As with all O'Reilly books, this one is liberally strewn with excellent examples and clear diagrams, and is well written for its target audience. It does presuppose some knowledge of basic programming concepts such as variables and loops, but would still appeal to the beginner as an addition to the online user guide.

Definitely recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice tutorial, not sure about the reference, 1 Aug 2006
By D. Rourke - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Enjoyable book to read, and is a nice tutorial, but I didn't think it was that good as a reference. E.g., several basic language constructs/functions are not defined clearly, the index is quite poor, and there are loads of errors/misprints.
