Product Description

Product Description

What is this book about?

Beginning PHP5 is a complete tutorial in PHP5′s language features and functionality, beginning with the basics and building up to the design and construction of complex data–driven Web sites. Fully functioning applications are developed through the course of the book. Other features of the book include installation guide and troubleshooting tips, introduction to relational databases, practical working examples and applications, and a detailed language reference.

Here are the new topics in this edition:

  • OOP
  • PEAR
  • GTK
  • MSI
  • CLI
  • SQLite
  • Error handling with try/catch


From the Back Cover

PHP5 is the newest version of the preferred language for rapidly creating dynamic Web page content. While its main use is as a cross–platform, HTML–embedded, server–side Web scripting language, it now works equally well when creating multi–tiered applications or XML–based applications as well as Web applications. This book teaches you the features and functionality of PHP5, from installing and configuring it to designing and constructing complex data–driven Web sites.

As you proceed, you will build a number of fully functional applications. You’ll be introduced to basic programming logic, relational databases, OOP, PEAR, GTK, MSI, CLI, SQLite, and more. When you’re finished, you will understand how to create, test, debug, and put your applications to work in the real world.

What you will learn from this book

  • The fundamentals of object–oriented programming in PHP5
  • How to write PHP5 applications that run on Windows®, Linux®, Mac OS® X, and other operating systems
  • Why PHP5 works effectively in small to enterprise–level applications
  • Error handling with try/catch
  • Data manipulation in MySQL® using PHP
  • How to build practical applications such as an online text editor, a Web–based e–mail application, and an object–oriented contact manager application
  • Command–line scripting and GUI application development
  • Effective methods of maintaining and organizing your code, and more

Who this book is for
This book is for beginning programmers as well as experienced developers who want to learn what is possible with the latest version of PHP.

First Sentence
PHP, which stands for HyperText Preprocessor, is widely used for creating programmed features for Web sites because it is easy to learn and also because PHP syntax is drawn from other widely used languages, making it familiar to many programmers. Read the first page

2.0 out of 5 stars Too many confusing and confidence-busting errors, 24 April 2008
By LuckyBayTripper (Oxford, England) - See all my reviews
I've been working through this book for four days now and I'm about to give up. There are too many typos and errors in the book (which seem to be fixed in the sample code you can download from the book's website). Also, the material is presented in an unhelpful order e.g. an exercise at the end of Chapter 2 requires techniques you only learn in Chapter 4. There is some great material here, but at least for me, it's too confusing for a complete beginner.
