Core PHP Programming, Third Edition Leon Atkinson with Zeev Suraski ISBN 0130463469 Core PHP Programming, Third Edition- arrives as the long-awaited source of comprehensive content switching technology. About the book: updated for PHP 5! PHP 5 is expected to be released by year's end, and with it will come a new level of Internet pragmatics and functionality. PHP 5 totally rebuilds PHP's support for object-oriented programming. PHP now includes exceptions, member access control (public, private, protected), and interfaces. The new object model allows for genuine object-oriented programming, and the book now covers design patterns. All existing PHP developers - as well as many developers who haven't tried PHP yet - will want to find out about these new features. Atkinson, the author of the two previous editions, is now joined by Zeev Suraski, one of the co-creators of the Zend Engine (the scripting engine which powers PHP 5), and one of the co-keepers of PHP. The other co-creator of the Zend Engine and co-keeper of PHP, Andi Gutmans, tech-edited the book.
