PHP is a simple yet powerful open-source scripting language for creating dynamic web content. The millions of web sites powered by PHP are testament to its popularity and ease of use. PHP is used by both programmers, who appreciate its flexibility and speed, and web designers, who value its accessibility and convenience. Programming PHP is an authoritative guide to PHP 4 and is filled with the unique knowledge of the creator of PHP, Rasmus Lerdorf. This book explains PHP language syntax and programming techniques in a clear and concise manner, with numerous examples that illustrate both correct usage and common idioms. The book also includes style tips and practical programming advice that will help you become not just a PHP programmer, but a good PHP programmer. Programming PHP covers everything you need to know to create effective web applications with PHP. Contents include:
Detailed information on the basics of the PHP language, including data types, variables, operators, and flow control statements
Separate chapters on the fundamental topics of functions, strings, arrays, and objects
Coverage of common PHP web application techniques, such as form processing and validation, session tracking, and cookies
Material on interacting with relational databases, such as MySQL and Oracle, using the database-independent PEAR DB library
Chapters on generating dynamic images, creating PDF files, and parsing XML files with PHP
Advanced topics, like creating secure script, error handling, performance tuning, and writing your own C language extensions to PHP
A handy quick reference to all the core functions in PHP and all the standard extensions that ship with PHP

This book is more like a PHP dictionary. It's really not good for a new PHP programmer. But once you get familiar with this language and start your own project, you will find it's useful for you to find syntax and usage.

As someone with a fair amount of programming experience already, I did not find this book too hard to read. It does, however, require some knowledge about programming in general. Those of you with experience in C languages will find that it doesn't waste any time explaining what a function is, but people who are new to programming might want to start with something a bit simpler. The most useful part of the book for me is the list of all the built-in functions.
The book is good! - 2009-02-01
