Summary

Being highly flexible in building dynamic, database-driven web applications makes the PHP programming language one of the most popular web development tools in use today. It also works beautifully with other open source tools, such as the MySQL database and the Apache web server.

Critics Review

You’ve heard the nasty stories about PHP sites being wiped off the web by evil hackers? Sadly it’s not scare-mongering as it does happen, and as much as we love PHP it needs proper security to keep your site safe from harm. Plenty of PHP books have the odd chapter on security but at last O’Reilly have published a whole volume dedicated to the cause, with all the code you’ll need to keep everything in order. Each chapter covers a different aspect of the application, from form processing to database programming and session management. Written in a straight forward style, it’s ideal for every PHP user, but at GBP20 you might expect a little more than just 100 pages.” .NET, November 2005 “If you write PHP scripts, get a copy” - Alain Williams, news@UK, March 2006
