From the Publisher
The PHP Anthology takes the most common problems posted by PHP developers in many discussion lists, forums and newsgroups and shows you how to solve them using modern PHP-coding practices. Along with detailed discussion of the key issues involved in solving specific problems, The PHP Anthology promotes development using PHP’s Object Oriented Programming (OOP) features and popular Open Source libraries.
All solutions and code in the books have been reviewed and approved by today’s top PHP experts, including Kevin Yank, author of the best-selling "Build Your Own Database-Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL". In other words, you can be assured that the books will show you how to develop rock solid, secure applications in the most efficient way possible.
The PHP Anthology can serve as a reference book to over 100 common problems, or if you want to read it cover-to-cover, it can serve as tutorial on advanced PHP coding techniques. Either way, it will provide you with unique insight to help you drastically improve your development techniques, cut down on needless lines of code and avoid potential security pitfalls.
