Product Description

Programmers like its flexibility and speed; designers like its accessibility and convenience. When it comes to making web sites, the PHP scripting language is truly a red-hot property. In fact, PHP is currently used on more than 19 million web sites, surpassing Microsoft’s ASP .NET technology in popularity. Not surprisingly, this surge in usage has resulted in a number of PHP books hitting the market. Only one, though, takes the language beyond traditional Web programming and into mapping, graphing, multimedia, and beyond: “PHP Hacks,”

In “PHP Hacks,” author Jack Herrington wrings out his 20 years of code generation experience to deliver hands-on tools ranging from basic PHP and PEAR installation and scripting to advanced multimedia and database optimizing tricks.

On the practical side of things, “PHP Hacks” helps you develop more robust PHP applications by explaining how to improve your database design, automate application testing, and use design patterns in your PHP scripts and classes. In the category of “cool,” Herrington clarifies how to upgrade your Web interface through the creation of tabs, stickies, popups, and calendars. He even examines how to leverage maps and graphics in PHP. There’s also a bounty of image and application hacks, including those that show you how to:

Integrate web sites with Google maps and satellite imaging

Dynamically show iPhoto libraries online

Add IRC, SMS, and Instant Messaging capabilities to your Web applications

Drop the latest Wikipedia dictionary onto your Sony PSP

Render graphics and user interfaces with SVG, DHTML, and Ajax

Whether you’re a newcomer or an expert, you’ll find fantastic value in “PHPHacks,” the only PHP guide that offers something useful and fun for everyone.
