Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 1 reviews. Very well done!, 2007-10-22 Reviewer rating: I purchased this book based on an immediate need at my job, and have since created two nice PHP extensions. I found it to be extremely helpful at getting started into an otherwise poorly documented area of PHP and the Zend API. It does lack depth in some areas, such as PHP5 objects. I found that consulting the source code of several existing PHP extensions was necessary to fill in some of these gaps. |
