This edition of the comprehensive guide focuses on the "mature" PHP 5 but also takes into consideration the real world: over 40 percent of all web applications are written in PHP, and it is installed on over 22 million domain servers. The authors cover the basics of language, functions, strings, arrays, objects, web techniques, databases, graphics, PDF, XML, security, application techniques, extending PHP, and PHP on Windows. Within these categories they include information on interacting with relational databases and the new PDO library, advanced topics such as creating secure scripts, and quick reference guides to all the core functions and standard extensions.
