If you're using PHP 4, then chances are good that an upgrade to PHP
5 is in your future. The more you've heard about the exciting new
features in PHP 5, the sooner that upgrade is probably going to be.
Although an in-depth, soup-to-nuts reference guide to the language
is good to have on hand, it's not the book an experienced PHP
programmer needs to get started with the latest release. What you
need is a lean and focused guide that answers your most pressing
questions: what's new with the technology, what's different, and
how do I make the best use of it? In other words, you need a copy
of "Upgrading to PHP 5.
This book is targeted toward PHP developers who are already
familiar with PHP 4. Rather than serve as a definitive guide to the
entire language, the book zeroes in on PHP 5's new features, and
covers these features definitively. You'll find a concise appraisal
of the differences between PHP 4 and PHP 5, a detailed look at
what's new in this latest version, and you'll see how PHP 5
improves on PHP 4 code. See PHP 4 and PHP 5 code side-by-side, to
learn how the new features make it easier to solve common PHP
problems. Each new feature is shown in code, helping you understand
why it's there, when to use it, and how it's better than PHP 4.
Short, sample programs are included throughout the book.
Topics covered in "Upgrading to PHP 5 include:
The new set of robust object-oriented programming features
An improved MySQL extension, supporting MySQL 4.1, prepared
statements, and bound parameters
Completely rewritten support for XML: DOM, XSLT, SAX, and
SimpleXML
Easy web services with SOAP
SQLite, an embedded database library bundled with PHP 5
Cleaner errorhandling with exceptions
Other new language features, such as iterators, streams, and
more.
"Upgrading to PHP 5 won't make you wade through information
you've covered before. Written by Adam Trachtenberg, coauthor of
the popular "PHP Cookbook, this book will take you straight into
the heart of all that's new in PHP 5. By the time you've finished,
you'll know PHP 5 in practice as well as in theory.
