Latest update: This entire online book has now been converted into a wiki, under a new, free licence. You can read the new book by clicking here. While converting to wiki format, I've taken the opportunity to correct many of the errors and clean up the HTML (it's now nearly all XHTML compatible), but now that it's a wiki it can be corrected by anyone - even you!

Welcome to the old home of the online book, "Practical PHP Programming".
There are only two ground rules in place for reading this book:
- Please do not use site downloaders to copy the book locally; it would hammer my web server, and is very selfish.
- Please read the copyright notice and abide by it. You can buy the edited version of this book in print, so please don't abuse this free online version.

Want to see this stuff in print? PHP in a Nutshell takes the core topics covered here, adds in thousands of edits from the editorial team and myself, and combines them to make an unbeatable reference for PHP programmers at all levels.
My previous book has hundreds more tips on how to use PHP, Apache, and MySQL, plus Perl, Python, shell scripts, performance tuning, and more!
