101. |  By: Jack D. Herrington Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 12-DEC-2005 Insert Date: 31-DEC-2005 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: PHP Hacks
Programmers love its flexibility and speed; designers love its
accessibility and convenience. When it comes to creating web sites,
the PHP scripting language is truly a red-hot property. In fact,
PHP is currently used on more than 19 million web sites, surpassing
Microsoft's ASP .NET technology in popularity. Not surprisingly,
this surge in usage has resulted in a number of PHP books hitting
the market. Only one, though, takes the language beyond traditional
Web programming and into mapping, graphing, multimedia, and beyond:
PHP Hacks.
In PHP Hacks, author Jack Herrington wrings out his...

102. |  By: George Schlossnagle Publisher: Sams Publication Date: 20-FEB-2004 Insert Date: 15-NOV-2005 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Advanced PHP Programming Over the past three years PHP has evolved
from being a niche language used to add dynamic functionality to
small sites to a powerful tool making strong inroads into
large-scale, business-critical Web systems.
The rapid maturation of PHP has created a
skeptical population of users from more traditional "enterprise"
languages who question the readiness and ability of PHP to scale,
as well as a large population of PHP developers without formal
computer science backgrounds who have learned through the hands-on
experimentation while developing small and midsize applications in
PHP.
While there...

Now installed on more than 20 million Internet domains around the
world, PHP is an undisputed leader in web programming languages.

everyone would agree that, above all, PHP is one of the easiest
languages to learn and use for developing dynamic web applications.
The ease of development and simplicity of PHP, combined with a
large community and expansive repository of open source PHP

104. |  By: Chris Shiflett Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 13-OCT-2005 Insert Date: 28-OCT-2005 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Essential PHP Security
Being highly flexible in building dynamic, database-driven web
applications makes the PHP programming language one of the most
popular web development tools in use today. It also works
beautifully with other open source tools, such as the MySQL
database and the Apache web server. However, as more web sites are
developed in PHP, they become targets for malicious attackers, and
developers need to prepare for the attacks.
Security is an issue that demands attention, given the growing
frequency of attacks on web sites. Essential PHP Security
explains the most common types of attacks and how to...
