Hi Stefan, I have just added the books you have suggested to our books page. Regards, Gabor Hojtsy

First books on PHP 5 at Galileo Computing The first books on PHP 5 are now published by Galileo Computing (http://www.galileocomputing.de/). Three books and a training CD provide you with all you need to change over to the new version of PHP. There is something here for those new to programming and those changing over, as well as those already familiar with PHP 4 and professionals. The "Introduction to PHP 5" by Thomas Theis is aimed at those new to programming and beginners. With almost 600 pages, this book explains the fundamentals of PHP 5 and MySQL with the aid of numerous examples. The CD-ROM contains the official German PHP manual, sample programming and solutions. The PHP reference card, containing the most important instructions, offers a quick overview. "PHP 5 - What's New" is aimed at experienced PHP 4 programmers who only need to be updated on the new possibilities and features of PHP 5. With just under 200 pages, it deals with object-orientation, libxml2, gd-lib and stream functions, among other things. The book "Better PHP Programming" can be used with all versions. Advanced and amateur programmers and those changing over can all learn to become professional programmers: programming style, modularization, program structure, PEAR and Smarty, documentation and annotation for software, and questions of performance and security are all included in the syllabus. And for the first time with this program, there is also the first training CD for programmers: "Introduction to PHP 5 and MySQL" offers a new way to learn a programming language. The basics of Web server programming with PHP and MySQL are provided in a clear, descriptive way. No previous programming knowledge is assumed. The training manuals include everything from installation and set up, to basic knowledge and new features, through practical examples, exercises and chapters for advanced developers. The final release of PHP 5 will be launched soon. So its high time you found out about the new possibilities and features offered by PHP 5!
