| SYNOPSIS |
The true power of PHP lies in its strength to create dynamic web content. Developers have moved on from using the newbie style of PHP books, to making PHP work for them by using the theoretical offerings (from existing PHP books) to create small to medium websites. This transition has created a definite information void, and through the Professional PHP4 Web Development Solutions book we hope to exactly fill that space - by helping you create a variety of real world, interactive web sites using PHP4 along with HTML, a DBMS system (MySQL), PEAR::DB, and XML or WML wherever applicable.
This book is replete with case studies showing PHP's use with output in HTML, XML, and WML. The PHP programming techniques are presented in such a manner that you'll find focused pieces of code that you can directly plug into your applications that will help you to build sites faster and better.
Who is this book for? This book is a resource for working PHP developers who need to fill the 'solutions' gap in their knowledge base, left behind by the multitude of theory-based PHP books in the market. The intent is to extend the real-world conversation started in those books, as well as to offer solid web application design techniques and solutions using PHP, databases, and markup languages.
