Sample Chapter: PHP Pocket Reference
(Page 1 of 10 )
Never worked with PHP? Curious? In this article Tim takes a look at a sample chapter from O'Reillys PHP Pocket Reference. This chapter is a great introduction to PHP and is explained simply and clearly.For those of us who have been fortunate enough to pick up PHP and run with it, most of us love it. I personally think PHP is the best programming language in existence today because of it's flexible, open-source nature, dozens of add-on libraries, and infinite number of support resources.
In this article we're going to look at a sample chapter from O'Reillys "PHP Pocket Reference" book. Me and a couple of other DevArticles.com developers are currently working on a new site, and I actually have the pocket reference here just when I get stuck on something small, such as which parameters to pass to a certain function, etc.
This book was published in 2000, so *some* of the functions are out of date, however 95% of them are still fine. Obviously global variables are now deprecated, so you'd use $_POST instead of $HTTP_POST_VARS, etc.
The PHP Pocket Reference is 120 pages long and is only $9.95. You can read user reviews and purchase it at Amazon by clicking
