WIRELESS WEB DEVELOPMENT WITH PHP AND WAP

As web accessibility through wireless devices becomes increasingly popular, developers are challenged to maintain the high level of interactivity and flexibility that users are accustomed to on their PCs. Fortunately, the language tools used to create conventional web pages can also be implemented in the wireless arena. Rischpater's Wireless Web Development with PHP and WAP is a comprehensive guide to doing exactly this. It illustrates how one of the web's most popular scripting languages, PHP, can be used alongside the wireless web's standard languages, namely WML and WMLScript, to create truly dynamic and powerful wireless applications.
