Product Description

Review
"This book is absolutely packed with quick solutions to common obstacles or ideas in PHP. The chapters on security are worth their weight in gold, as you'll learn how to properly protect your site against unauthorised use." .NET, February 2004

Product Description
PHP is a simple yet powerful open source scripting language that has become a big player in Web development. Over a million Web sites, from large corporate sites to small personal sites, are using PHP to serve dynamic Web content. PHP's broad feature set, approachable syntax, and support for different operating systems and Web servers make it an ideal language for rapid Web development. This is a collection of problems, solutions, and practical examples for PHP programmers. The book contains a collection of best practices for everyday PHP programming dilemmas. For every problem addressed in the book, there's a worked-out solution or "recipe" - short, focused pieces of code that you can insert directly into your applications. Also included are explanations of how and why the code works, so you can learn to adapt the problem-solving techniques to similar situations. The recipes in the cookbook range from simple tasks, such as sending a data base query and fetching URLs, to entire programs that demonstrate complex tasks, such as printing HTML tables and generating bar charts. This book contains over 250 recipes on the following topics: working with basic data types, including strings, numbers, dates and times, and arrays; PHP building blocks, such as variables, functions, classes, and objects; Web programming, including forms, database access, and XML; useful features like regular expressions, encryption and security, graphics, internationalization and localization, and Internet services; working with files and directories; command-line PHP and PHP-GTK; and PEAR, the PHP Extension and Application Repository.

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