Description
For courses in Web Programming and Design and Numerical Methods.
This thoroughly updated and revised second edition of the best-selling developer's guide features a comprehensive reference with examples of every key PHP function. The edition also covers all the latest developments in the language; in particular, PHP's newest version 4.0 and that PHP now works with Microsoft's Internet Information Server so PHP can be used on Windows NT/2000 running IIS.
