Practical PHP Programming

Welcome to the new home of Practical PHP Programming – now updated for PHP 5.2. This is the definitive source for the book from now on, and you’ll be pleased to know the entire book is hosted on a super-fast server so you should never have access troubles again.

While updating the text, we have endeavoured to leave chapters in place even if we think they are no longer the smartest option – after all, it’s not for us to decide what you should use. In places where we recommend one solution over another, you’ll find this clearly marked.

Make sure you check out the other coding tutorials hosted here on TuxRadar!
