 To understand today's PHP frameworks, and to build code that is scalable, you need to understand the concepts of object-oriented programming. In this workshop, professional developer Edward Tanguay shows you the basics of object-oriented programming, introducing you to important concepts like classes, properties, methods, and inheritance. You��ll also learn many other skills that are important in professional PHP programming, such as reading and writing to databases, using text files and XML files, and building web services.

Professional PHP, Volume 2

 PHP 5.3 introduced a number of new features that every professional PHP programmer should incorporate into their skill set: namespaces, lambdas, closures, and late static binding, all of which are concepts that you might know from other languages and which are now available in PHP. In this workshop, professional developer Edward Tanguay shows you how to use these features and introduces you to a number of new, useful functions such as array_replace, date_add, new functions to work with ini files, and more.
