## Description

Readers can take their PHP skills to the next level with this fully revised and updated PHP Advanced: Visual QuickPro Guide, Third Edition! Filled with fourteen chapters of step-by-step content and written by bestselling author and PHP programmer Larry Ullman, this guide teaches specific topics in direct, focused segments, shows how PHP is used in real-world applications. The book teaches developing web applications using advanced PHP techniques and advanced database concepts, and this edition offers several chapters devoted to object-oriented programming and all-new chapters on debugging, testing, and performance. Author hosts a popular companion website at larryullman.com, where readers can freely download code used in the book, access a user forum and book updates, and get advice directly from the author.

Review: Best Coverage For Someone New to Objects in PHP - This book is one of the best I have ever read on programming. I have easily read over 100 programming books (in different languages). My goal for this book was to get a solid understanding of oop in php. I have only been coding in php for about three months. I wish I bought this book first. The examples are all thoroughly explained - every line of code. For the stuff I already knew I was able to just read the example scripts, which are included in every chapter. I then went back and read every word of each chapter. Larry includes so much extra knowledge in the side bars and dispersed within the text of the sample descriptions. To my knowledge (I'm still a novice at oop in php) he described all of the necessary oop operators and in what context they are appropriate. The non-oop specific chapters addressed so many of my "how do I do that" questions I had as well as showing me some things I hadn't even thought of. Using cURL, PHPUnit, the command line interface to php, the appdocumentor and my personal favorite Sessions were all covered to my satisfaction. His support site for his books is like nothing I have ever seen in my early days as an application developer. For me it was: post a question or comment and one of the members of his forums would address it. Or, Larry himself would respond to the post! You can't ask for better support of a product. If I never write a single Class in php (highly unlikely now) I have already been able to use what I have learned in the book to use several of the classes included in php as well as using some 3rd-party Class tools. Don't skip the sidebars in the book. In some cases they contain the most useful information.
Review: Clear incremental presentation of learning material - Clear incremental presentation of building blocks required to understand and use Object-Oriented PHP. You can download all the example code from Larry Ullman's website. I found having all the code already written up and formatted properly to be a helpful learning aid as well. Worth mentioning: First, I read "PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Websites," then I read this book "PHP Advanced and Object-Oriented Programing. Having very little experience prior to reading these two books, I needed something that would lay a solid foundation for me to build upon. I feel good about the progress I've made. I'm now at the point where I can easily read and interpret about 90% of the PHP code in most WordPress templates as well as the WordPress Core. Don't get me wrong, I still struggle (in a good way) through a lot of it, but it is more like “purposeful struggling” rather than being completely clueless like I was before I read these books. This book also got me to the point where the time I now spend studying the reference material on the php.net website seems much more enjoyable as well as fruitful. I would purchase this book as well as PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Websites again and recommend them both to you as well. A side benefit that I did not see coming is that what I learned from these books has helped me to jump into JavaScript as well. Good times!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book that takes you from the basic PHP skills to the real projects mastering
*by E***R on April 8, 2013*

First: about the reader expectations: This book should NOT be considered as the introductory course. This book should NOT be considered as the in-depth coverage of all details for the topics. This book is THE missing link between the introductory books, your real projects coding, and the more advanced books or documentations on the specific topics. The books covers various aspects of PHP technology and design patterns, each chapter contains enough data for the reader to start using the acquired skills for his-her projects. At the same time, the author provides with the references for further readings or to the related recourse sites. If some one is expanding from Java world to PHP, it's the book that must be studied first before making any pilot coding: just get and PHP intro books, don't worry about cluttered coding cocktail that "straight forward" PHP script look like, get the Larry's book, go through all exercises and you'll be ready to go. I am (of course, with the collection of PHP docs and code snippets links and few other PHP books that cover specific topics, which where not much use to me till I completed THIS book).
