About the Authors
Ben Balbo
Ben Balbo was born in Germany, grew up in the UK, lives in Melbourne, and likes Guinness. While he isn’t drinking Guinness (which is most of the time in Melbourne, as it just doesn’t taste the same), he earns a living as a PHP developer and trainer, security consultant, and Open Source developer. He has been known to talk in public about web development-related topics, which comes as part of the package of being on the committees of both the Melbourne PHP User Group and Open Source Developers’ Club. Although he wouldn’t admit this, he participates at this level only in order to go to restaurants or pubs after the meetings.
Harry Fuecks
Harry Fuecks is a technical writer, programmer, and system engineer. He has worked in corporate IT since 1994, having completed a Bachelor’s degree in Physics. He first came across PHP in 1999, while putting together a small intranet. Today, he’s the lead developer of a corporate extranet, where PHP plays an important role in delivering a unified platform for numerous back office systems. In his off hours he writes technical articles for SitePoint and runs phpPatterns, a site exploring PHP application design. Originally from the United Kingdom, he now lives in Switzerland. Harry is the proud father of a beautiful baby girl who keeps him busy all day (and night!).
Davey Shafik
Davey Shafik is a full-time PHP developer with ten years’ experience in PHP and related technologies. An avid magazine writer, book author, and speaker, Davey keeps his mind sharp by trying to tackle problems from a unique perspective from his home in Central Florida where he lives with five cats and more computers.
Ligaya Turmelle
Ligaya Turmelle is a full-time goddess, occasional PHP programmer, and obsessive world traveler. Actively involved with the PHP community as a founding Principal of phpwomen.org, administrator at codewalkers.com, roving reporter for the Developer Zone on Zend.com, and PHP blogger and long-time busybody of #phpc on freenode, she hopes to one day actually meet the people she talks to. When not sitting at her computer staring at the screen, Ligaya can usually be found either playing golf, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, or just playing with the dogs outside. Ligaya Turmelle is a Zend Certified Engineer.
Matthew Weier O’Phinney
Matthew Weier O’Phinney is a full-time father of two and spends his free time developing in PHP. He is a PEAR developer, core contributor to Zend Framework, and all-around PHP 5 proponent—though PHP 6 cannot come soon enough for him.

The Guru's don't want you to read this book, they know that if you do they can no longer take advantage of you!
You will no longer need to join list building programs that control your list.

Here are some reviews for the previous edition.
Both books help me build applications more consistents. Now, the time apply in development was reduced due the reutilization.

These two books are the first PHP books that really helped me understand some basic PHP and on the other hand how to write OOP for PHP.
Keep up the good work!

I have not read them yet. They came much to late for the project on which I was working, so I did the project in ColdFusion. I'll get to them after the first of the year, I imagine.
