PHP is a powerful yet easy-to-use tool for creating dynamic web content. The perfect language for projects great and small, PHP is used by Yahoo!, millions of personal home pages, and everything in-between. Best of all, PHP is open source and runs on Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X. The latest version, PHP 5, contains robust support for object-oriented programming, an integrated suite of XML tools, an all-new MySQL extension, web services with SOAP and REST, and hundreds of other improvements. There are so many updates and new features, it's difficult to get a handle on all the changes. Documentation is scarce , scattered , and rarely in-depth . This book steadily guides you from the world of PHP 4 to PHP 5, covering what's completely new, what's received an overhaul , and what's just slightly different enough to slip you up. |
