4.0 out of 5 stars Multimedia Magick?, 16 Dec 2002
By L. V. Delahunty (London, England, GB) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This excellent book starts with a comprehensive guide to installation of various "Multimedia" additions to PHP. Ming - for flash, GD & Image Magick for image manipulation, PDFlib & FDF (PDF Forms).

As the various PHP mailing lists seem to have a glut of questions about the installation procedures, this book may well be a handy reference for anyone interested in experimenting with the extensions, especially the relatively inexperienced programmers.

This is followed by a PHP refresher. In particular I thought that this book gave a good introduction to using PHP with classes / OOP.

From there on we delve into the real meat of the book. We're treated to a whistle-stop tour of the various extensions, giving enough information to tackle the case studies which highlight valid reasons and give good examples for using PHP for multimedia (such as the image gallery & PDF template chapters).

Finally the book is completed with language references for each of the extension libraries.

I enjoyed using this book but I found moving from one topic to another before the more interesting case studies to be fairly pointless, but more importantly for a book on multimedia I found the lack of artistic design in the examples irritating. However it is an excellent addition to any PHP programmers library and I recomend it to anyone interested in exploring PHP further than just MySQL and general scripting.
