Sommario/riassunto

Object-Oriented PHP shows developers how to take advantage of the new object-oriented features of PHP. Working from concrete examples, the book begins with code compatible with PHP 4 and 5, and then focuses on object orientation in PHP 5. The author's practical approach uses numerous code examples, which will help developers get up to speed quickly, and show them how to apply what they've learned to everyday situations. All code samples are available for download on the book's companion site.
