Editorial Review :
This book is intended for anyone starting out with PHP programming. If you’ve previously worked in another programming language such as Java, C#, or Perl, you’ll probably pick up the concepts in the earlier chapters quickly; however, the book assumes no prior experience of programming or of building Web applications. That said, because PHP is primarily a Web technology, it will help if you have at least some knowledge of other Web technologies, particularly HTML and CSS. Many Web applications make use of a database to store data, and this book contains three chapters on working with MySQL databases. Once again, if you’re already familiar with databases in general — and MySQL in particular — you’ll be able to fly through these chapters. However, even if you’ve never touched a database before in your life, you should still be able to pick up a working knowledge by reading through these chapters. What This Book Covers This book gives you a broad understanding of the PHP language and its associated technologies. You explore a wide range of topics, including: installing a copy of the PHP engine on Ubuntu Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X; other ways you can install or use PHP; how to write a simple PHP script. basic PHP language concepts. variables, data types, operators, expressions, and constants. how to change the flow of your scripts by creating decisions and loops. if, else, and switch statements; the ternary operator; and the do, while, for, break, and continue statements. how to nest loops, and how to mix decisions and looping with blocks of HTML. PHP’s handling of strings, or sequences of characters; how to create strings; how to retrieve characters from a string; and how to manipulate strings with functions such as strlen(), substr(), strstr(), strpos(), str_replace(), and printf(), to name but a few. arrays — variables that can hold multiple values. You learn the difference between indexed and associative arrays, and find out how to create arrays and access their individual elements; array manipulation, including functions such as print_r(), array_slice(), count(), sort(), array_merge(), and list(). You also learn how to create foreach loops, as well as how to work with multidimensional arrays. functions — blocks of code that you can use again and again. You look at how to call built-in functions, and how to work with variable functions. You also study how to create your own functions, including defining parameters, returning values, understanding scope, and using anonymous functions. Other function-related topics such as references and recursion are also explored. object-oriented programming. You look at the advantages of an object-oriented approach, and learn how to build classes, properties, and methods, and how to create and use objects. You also explore more advanced topics such as overloading, inheritance, interfaces, constructors and destructors, autoloading, and namespaces. how to use PHP to create intera...

Editorial Review :
This book takes you beyond the PHP basics to the enterprise development practices used by professional programmers. Updated for PHP 5.3 with new sections on closures, namespaces, and continuous integration, this edition will teach you about object features such as abstract classes, reflection, interfaces, and error handling. You’ll also discover object tools to help you learn more about your classes, objects, and methods. Then you’ll move into design patterns and the principles that make patterns powerful. You’ll learn both classic design patterns and enterprise and database patterns with easy-to-follow examples. Finally, you’ll discover how to put it all into practice to help turn great code into successful projects. You’ll learn how to manage multiple developers with Subversion, and how to build and install using Phing and PEAR. You’ll also learn strategies for automated testing and building, including continuous integration. Taken together, these three elements—object fundamentals, design principles, and best practices—will help you develop elegant and rock-solid systems. What you’ll learn- Learn to work with object fundamentals: writing classes and methods, instantiating objects, and creating powerful class hierarchies using inheritance.
- Master advanced object-oriented features, including static methods and properties.
- Learn how to manage error conditions with exceptions, and create abstract classes and interfaces.
- Understand and use design principles to deploy objects and classes effectively in your projects.
- Learn about design patterns, their purpose and structure, and the underlying principles that govern them.
- Discover a set of powerful patterns that you can deploy in your own projects.
- Learn about the tools and practices that can guarantee a successful project including unit testing; version control; build, installation, and package management; and continuous integration.
Who this book is forThis book is suitable for anyone with at least a basic knowledge of PHP who wants to use its object-oriented features in their projects. Those who already know their interfaces from their abstracts may well still find it hard to use these features in their projects. These users will benefit from the book’s emphasis on design. They will learn how to choose and combine the participants of a system, how to read design patterns, and how to use them in their code. Finally, this book is for PHP coders who want to learn about the practices and tools (version control, testing, continuous integration, etc.) that can make projects safe, elegant, and stable.

Questions & Answers
Question : How to connect a textbox to a database in php using ms access?
I have an order form desined in php. To use it I need to connect it to a database. I use Yahoo hosting service. My website is www.ibexstudents.com. It has no support for asp but supports php, javascript and perl. Any other innovative approaches are welcomed.Please give me the full procedure as I am not very good at programming. Thank you.
Answer:
Assuming you have odbc driver , and dsn registered on your webserver, this is how you do it.Now let us assume you want to update your database with something that user inputs in your text box, lets say his Display name on your website, and password.Lets assume textbox for name is txtname and for password (type="password" for asterics) is txtpass.When user clicks on submit (name btnsubmit), lets say this info should be updated in a table called User in your database $db. Also assume form method is post and action is on same page (example newuser.php)}Ofcourse this code dont handle any errors/exceptions and if u want to fetch data from database. u can use method$recordset=odbc_exec($conn,$query);odbc_fetch_row($recordset);where query could be something like select * from User.Good Luck!

Question : How can i study or try PHP programming at home if I only have a laptop with WIndowsXP SP3 OS?
I want to learn PHP programming but I do not have that big server computers or a network of computers. Is it possible to do PHP programming using only a laptop connected only to internet, through a 3g modem; and running on Windows XP SP3 OS? What are the application and/or software that I need to install to make it work?
Answer:
You could install XAMPP. That will give you Apache web server, PHP and MySQL. It's fairly easy to install and setup. See fist link below.But DO make sure you secure it once installed, otherwise your machine could be vulnerable. Also not hard to do, read the instructions in the second link.

Question : How can i run a php or mysql script automatically every month, quarter or year?
I have a script for a MySQL Database that adds up all of the numbers in a column and sets it back to zero (its pretty much like an adjusting entry). I don't want to clear the contents completely because I need them for reporting purposes. I want either PHP or MySQL to run a script to do this automatically so I don't forget to do it. What is the best way in going about doing this?
Answer:
Have you hosted this on a Linux cPanel Server.. If es.. then you might have heard of Cron Jobs.. Cron jobs are scheduled tasks that take place at predefined times or intervals on the server.. This feature is available on cPanel servers.. Check the below link for details :http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/CronJobs

Question : PHP: How to store system configurations on a database and use them as constants?
I'd like to have constants in PHP which are retrieved from a database. Essentially, I'd like to create a page that can update this database table so the next time I load the site, it will use these newly updated constants which are again retrieved from the database.I'm looking for things that can be changed directly by the admin without needing to go into the source code and manually changing the hardcoded constants file.
Answer:
Make a settings file and put this in it (settings.php)Now just put this in any file that needs to access the databaseinclude ("settings.php");$link = mysql_connect("$cfg_server","$cfg_username","$cfg_password")or die("error ");mysql_select_db ("$cfg_database", $link)or die("error ");

Question : How is the career of a php developer in financial perspective?
Say as in my case I am only pure science(non-IT) science graduate who passed out long back. I have been to mainly sales job but now i resigned from that job & want to get into s/w or web development.So just I want to know what is the growth prospect & obstacles in the path of a php developer?I am 33 yrs old single man from India.
Answer:
It really depends on what part of the world you are in. I know that the freelance developer jobs are quickly on the rise in Asia because of the lower cost of developer work when compared to the cost of paying some one from Europe or North America. That said those same developers also have a bad reputation for low quality of work and/or unreadable/messy code. You get what you pay for I guess. That is not to say that good work doesn't come from those regions, but there is certainly a disproportionate amount of sloppy work.If you are living in the United States then it will still depend on what region you are in as to how much you will get paid and how much work is available. For example there is not a lot of PHP work in the Kansas City area. There is a shortage of qualified PHP programmers there too, but the pay is considerably lower when compared to other major cities around the country.The same can be said of any kind of software or web development really. But programming still pays better in most cases than the vast majority of jobs that don't require a masters degree or higher. You will need some experience first before you can land a decent job. Learn yourself up and volunteer to do some projects for some non-profit organizations to build up your portfolio.

Question : How do i create a php page that will automatically redirect & login to a password protected directory?
How do i create a php page that will automatically redirect & login to a password protected directory on my website, so that the user doesn't have to input the user & password to access the site.
Answer:
it involves the use of $_COOKIE. I would not recommend you automatically redirecting someone to "protected" content.Thumb through my script and use what you need. Reference the link below because yahoo will truncate my answer.login_form();}//End function//Just a simple login formfunction login_form(){echo "";}//End Functionfunction validate_user($UserInput){//my chosen user name and password pattern$this->user_name_pattern = ("^[a-zA-Z0-9]{5,15}$");$this->password_pattern = ("^[a-zA-Z0-9\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\`\~\_]{5,15}$");//JavaScript History -1$this->go_back = (Go Back);$this->success_login_redirect = "http://dzsoundnirvana.com/";switch($UserInput){case ($UserInput['FLU'] == "" || !ereg($this->user_name_pattern,$UserInput['FLU'])):$this->login_form();echo "Invalid user name. Try again or $this->go_back! ";$this->login_error == false; break;case ($UserInput['FLP'] == "" || !ereg($this->password_pattern,$UserInput['FLP'])):$this->login_form();echo "Invalid password. Try again or $this->go_back! ";$this->login_error == false;break;}if($this->login_error === false){//Or you can redirect to a "Forgot password/user name" page or leave it alone. This will kill the script. No output after though!exit;}else{//Now we go to the Database and validate the user$this->db();$this->query_string = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE user_name='$UserInput[FLU]'&& password='" . md5($UserInput['password']) . "'";$this->query = mysql_query($this->query_string);//Error check the queryif(!$this->query){echo "System error! Contact the system administrator!
or
$this->go_back";//use this for debugging (below), Delete the // at the beginning//echo mysql_error();}else{//Need to check if more than 1 user exists if so....throw HACKING error (not supported here)..another class$this->num_rows = mysql_num_rows($this->query);if($this->num_rows > 1){echo "Hacking warning";exit;}else{//Get the user information and set into the $_SESSION and then redirect to the directed page$this->user_information = mysql_fetch_assoc($this->query);//Put all user data into $_SESSIONforeach($this->user_information as $key => $value){$_SESSION[$key] = $value;//Now we redirect to the page specifiedecho "";echo "If you are not redirected success_login_redirect\" target=\"_parent\">Click here to continue";}}}//else}//if($this->login_error === false)/else{}//End functionfunction db(){$this->db_link = mysql_connect("data_base_host","data_base_user","data_base_password]);//Select the DB$this->db_select = mysql_select_db("data_base_name");}}//End Class?>

Question : What PHP function do you use to get a specific number of items from an array in PHP?
You want to only get the first 5 items from an array, but if there only exists less than 5 items in the array, you still want to get them all.The result would be an array variable containing at most 5 items.Is there a single PHP function that can do this? (I want to avoid using any loop or if statement)Many thanks to you all.
Answer:
use this function array_slice(array, offset, length, preservekeys) in your case the function call will be like this$result_array = array_slice($your_array, 0, 5 );

Question : How to write a PHP coding to list out all files and directories as links to them?
How to write a PHP coding to list out all files and directories as links to them?This is somewhat similar to some index pages. When new file or folder is added to the directory, HTML page should display the newly created file/folder together with previous ones after it is being refreshed. (prefer in alphabatical order)How to achieve this sort of functionality in PHP? Please provide sample coding as well. (and any references)Thanks.
Answer:
// get array of all files and directories in the current directory (it is sorted alphabetically by default)$dir_entries = scandir(dirname(__FILE__)); // for PHP 5.3+, use __DIR__ instead of dirname(__FILE__)// split the array of files and directories into two arrays, one containing files and the other directories$dir_files = array();$dir_directories = array();foreach($dir_entries as $dir_entry) { if(is_dir($dir_entry)) { array_push($dir_directories, $dir_entry); } else { array_push($dir_files, $dir_entry); }}// print directoriesforeach($dir_directories as $dir_directory) { // don't print current and parent directories if($dir_directory == '.' or $dir_directory == '..') { continue; } echo "" . htmlspecialchars($dir_directory) . "
\n";}// print filesforeach($dir_files as $dir_file) { echo "" . htmlspecialchars($dir_file) . "
\n";}
