You Want to Do What with PHP? /by Kevin Schroeder. This book was written after working for several years as a consultant for Zend Technologies, prior to becoming our Technology Evangelist. There are hundreds of (build a PHP website) books out there. However, there are only a bare handful of books that go beyond that. So many PHP books have good information for getting started but end up stopping right when the problems start getting interesting. That's what I did with this book. I undertook a smaller group of topics, but took them to their conclusion, in most cases. Some of them, because it would become repetitive, I did not, but for the most part I started at the beginning and went to the end insofar as the end was a logical conclusion. So, end as in I showed what I intended to show.
