Part VI: PHP
PHP (PHP Hypertext Preprocessor) is a web scripting language. PHP is easy to learn because it builds on the bits and pieces that most people already know. The pieces that you don't know are filled in by excellent online documentation and many high-quality books. This simple approach to solving the web problem has caught on with an amazing number of people.
This chapter provides an overview of the main concepts needed for most web applications, followed by quick reference material for most of the main PHP functions. For complete coverage of PHP, refer to Programming PHP by Rasmus Lerdorf and Keven Tatroe.
