About this title

Synopsis

Aimed at intermediate and advanced programmers, but also meant to be useful to those with a base knowledge level. The authors take a problem-solving approach, with code and textual explanations of what they code does, presenting the problem as it occurs in the real world and giving the solution. Problems include those in PHP internals, such as in strings, numbers, time and date, variables, arrays, functions, classes, objects, files and directories. Problems with applications include those involving creating web pages (XHTML/CSS),handling web forms, validating and standardizing data, tracking sessions and users, and working with web services and other protocols, relational databases, email, XML, images, errors and debugging, user identification and encryption. Appendices cover migrating to PHP 5, SPL and common error messages. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
