The PHP Anthology: Object Oriented PHP Solutions

By Harry Fuecks

‘ Practical Solutions to Common Problems ’

As a PHP developer, there are certain problems you’re almost guaranteed to face. Generating charts and graphs, converting HTML documents to PDF format—PHP is equipped to handle all of these, but coming up with the best implementation can be tricky! Now, instead of trawling through message boards and mailing lists for the answer, you can just crack open The PHP Anthology: Object Oriented PHP Solutions!

The PHP Anthology: Object Oriented PHP Solutions is a complete reference guide for any PHP developer—hobbyist or professional—to help you write better, faster and more secure code that solves common problems. The author, Harry Fuecks, has compiled over 100 best-practice solutions that any developer will find invaluable when building content management systems, intranets, shopping carts or anything else.

 

With The PHP Anthology: Object Oriented PHP Solutions you’ll:

• Save hours researching solutions to common problems.
• Learn to cut down on wasted development time with professional development techniques.
• Gain the condensed experience of years of PHP coding.
• Find out how to develop secure, reliable and easy-to-maintain PHP applications.
• Explore real-world Object Oriented Programming with PHP.

And most importantly, the PHP Anthology: Object Oriented PHP Solutions will help you get it right the first time!

The PHP Anthology: Object Oriented PHP Solutions 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: Object Oriented PHP Solutions 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: Object Oriented PHP Solutions 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.

If you can just use one or two solutions from the books per year, they’ll have paid for themselves many times over in time savings, and with over 100 solutions between the two books, you’ll almost certainly use a lot more!
