'PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice' From Apress

The release of PHP 5 last year contained several enhancements and additions, allowing programmers much more flexibility. To ensure that PHP users gain familiarity with the latest advances, Apress and Matt Zandstra came together to create PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice.





This book is a practical guide to exploring and using three of the most valuable features in PHP 5: object-oriented programming, patterns originated by the "Gang of Four," and various best practices.

• Discusses effective object-oriented programming concepts, including class design, class inspection and features such as the Reflection API, and advanced topics such as interfaces and class abstraction
  
• Dissects design patterns, from principle to generation to commands
  
• Explains PHP 5 best practices, including using PEAR, phpDocumentor, CVS, and Phing
