Product Description

Steven Osborn, Tulsa PHP Users Group, May 2007

PHP Cookbook is ceartainly the most useful PHP book I own.

Product Description

When it comes to creating dynamic web sites, the open source PHP language is red-hot property: used on more 19 million web sites today, PHP is now more popular than Microsoft's ASP.NET technology. With our Cookbook's unique format, you can learn how to build dynamic web applications that work on any web browser. This revised new edition makes it easy to find specific solutions for programming challenges. "PHP Cookbook" has a wealth of solutions for problems that you'll face regularly. With topics that range from beginner questions to advanced web programming techniques, this guide contains practical examples - or "recipes" - for anyone who uses this scripting language to generate dynamic web content. Updated for PHP 5, this book provides solutions that explain how to use the new language features in detail, including the vastly improved object-oriented capabilities and the new PDO data access extension. New sections on classes and objects are included, along with new material on processing XML, building web services with PHP, and working with SOAP/REST architectures. With each recipe, the authors include a discussion that explains the logic and concepts underlying the solution.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book on php, 29 Oct 2005

By	"acp04cin" - See all my reviews

This review is from: PHP Cookbook: 1 (Paperback)

This book is definitely not for a beginner wanting to learn php. But as a reference book, it is terrific. There are lots and lots of very useful examples.The material is very well orgainized - you can find what u need very quickly. For each topic, a commonly encountered problem is presented, and then an explanation of how to solve it, along with sample code is given. I used another book to learn php. While that was great for learning, I found it frustrating finding solutions in it to problems i faced when i started work on my php project. This book helped me immensely because it gave me the answers I needed quickly. The numerous examples were a godsend. I highly recommended it as a handy reference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cooking with the pros, 3 Aug 2003

By	"titbread" - See all my reviews

This review is from: PHP Cookbook: 1 (Paperback)

This book is excellent, if u often have problems, parse errors, and just dont have a clue why ur db won't connect (or it has but it wont display ur data) These often problems for php devs can be helped with this book.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK IF U HAVE NO OTHER PHP REFERENCE! It is simply somthing u can look in occasionaly and find a cool snipet of code, or if u have a problem troubleshoot through the book... its a good aid but ur not going to learn 2 much new stuff, just how tof ix bugs

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful for solving specifics, 3 Oct 2009

By	Charles Dixon "Cyberoak" (North East England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well written, clear, precise - not full of useless waffle like some guides.
Provides solutions to common problems and tasks, which could be very useful for beginners and users with some experience of PHP. However, this is *not* a "how to learn PHP" book, rather, like the title states, it is a cookbook of solutions with examples.

I can recommend PHP Cookbook, but not as your only PHP text, especially for beginners. I suggest looking at 'PHP and MYSQL Web Development', by Welling and Thomson, published by Addison Wesley - covers the basics and most everything else too an excellent book for learning PHP and MYSQL for web development.
