    Book about building web applications with PHP

    Hi!

    I plan to develope a web application with PHP, and I am looking for a
    book that aids me. I already have experience with PHP as well as
    relational databases, but I never have written a big web application.
    Moreover, I have programmed in other programming languages (mostly C++,
    Java and C) and I have knowledge about UML, design patterns and
    designing software.

    I do not need a beginner's book, but a book that gives me some insight
    in how to design web applications (perhaps MVC) and advanced (at least
    from my point of view) topics like session management and security, and
    perhaps perhaps the use of AJAX in the application. It should
    concentrate on a web application using a relational database (from my
    researches so far, I suppose that most books cover PHP and MySQL, which
    is fine for me).

    I have already searched the web and this group for book recommendations ,
    but there are many of them (some outdated), and it's hard for me to
    separate the wheat from the chaff.

    I would be very grateful if you can give me some recommendations
    (perhaps with a short description of contents of the book, if you have
    the time) or pointers to places where I can find more information.

    Kind Regards & TIA,
    Gernot

      At least one that has (besides the often obligatory introduction stuff)
      some practical examples in web-bases apps:

      O'Reilly - Web Database Applications with PHP and MySQL 2nd Edition

      HTH

          In regards to PHP version this book is a little out of date, but I
          love it. Advanced PHP Programming by George Schlossnagle is a awesome
          book which covers caching, design, and lots of essential in depths
          topics. It's in my bookcase.

              PHP Programming by George Schlossnagle covers all the topics you asked
              for and much more. I thought it was a very well written and helpful
              book. It's on my self!

                  Thank you, this book has also been recommended to me in the German PHP
                  NG, so I think I will buy it.

                  Thank you (and Schraalhans) for your help!
