PHP is an open source, server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language used to create dynamically generated Web pages. With an easy-to-use syntax and large, extensible library of modules, PHP brings together the best of Perl, C ++, and other languages. The PHP Developer's Dictionary is a comprehensive reference to PHP 4. It details the evolution of the PHP language and the enhancements that PHP 4 brings to the programmer, and it shows the reader how to install the application, generate HTML, and access databases. The book contains not only every function and property, but also provides a description, a version support key, and examples where needed.
