Originally developed as a means to track Web site visitors, PHP is rapidly becoming the most widely used Web scripting language. The latest version, PHP 4, is faster and more powerful than its predecessors, while still being far easier to learn than Perl or JavaScript. Anyone with experience in HTML coding can get started with PHP, but really tapping its power requires guidance, and this book is the foremost resource you'll need to quickly acquire the expertise to fully exploit the possibilities of PHP. Ashok Appu has packed this indispensable guide with real-world examples and advice on how to move beyond those samples to tackle specific tasks.
