The PHP Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks & Hacks, 2nd Edition
Become a PHP Expert in One Week

Sebastopol, CA--Over 20 million web sites prove that PHP is the most
universally adopted web programming language on the planet. However,
moving from a beginner's level to more advanced PHP development is often a
difficult transition--or was, until today.

Online media company SitePoint (sitepoint.com) recently announced the
release of a new resource for learning object oriented programming with
PHP. 

Their latest book, "The PHP Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks & Hacks,
2nd Edition," saves time, and eliminates the frustration of completing PHP
tasks, with a comprehensive collection of ready-to-use solutions.

Its question-and-answer format lets you learn by example as you work
through its impressive PHP solutions, and the copy-and-paste code takes
the stress out of getting your web applications off the ground.

This book makes it easy to:

- Manage errors gracefully.
- Build functional forms, tables, and SEO-friendly URLs.
- Reduce load time with client- and server-side caching.
- Produce and utilize web services with XML.
- Secure your site using access control systems.
- Easily work with files, emails, and images.
- And so much more...

"The PHP Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks & Hacks, 2nd Edition"
proves that you don't need a computer science degree to take advantage
of the powerful features of PHP.
