The link for phpvqp2_scripts.zip is wrong ,it seems to be linked with a script of another book. please correct it.
Thank you.
Sorry for my poor English.
Sorry about that. I’ve corrected the link.
wow. Had this book for a week, and smoke is steadily pouring out of my ears. This is what I have been looking for to take my skills to the next level. 500 pages of Larry Ullman is worth more than 5000 pages of other books.
Very, very kind of you to say. Thanks! Sorry about the smoke, though!
Will this book clarify everything related to OOPS and Advanced programming in php
Yes, yes, it does. Or at least I hope it does. It teaches OOP in PHP 5 for those unfamiliar with OOP. It also has several real-world OOP uses. Thanks for your interest in the book!
Mr. Ullman,
I just finished the PHP 6 and MySQL 5 book. This is an excellent book! Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was hoping to find on the subject. Now, I would like to buy the PHP 5 Advanced book but wonder if you plan to update it to PHP 6 and if so, when?
Thank you very much for the nice words. I’m glad you liked it and thanks for your continued interest in my other books. I currently don’t have any plans to update the PHP 5 Advanced book, which means it won’t happen in 2011. PHP 6, by the way, is in a state of limbo and it’s highly unlikely that the next major release of PHP will be anytime in the near future either. Thanks again!
How to download the bonus chapters. Please mention it.
Sorry about that. The bonus chapters are not in my control and are available somehow, somewhere at http://www.Peachpit.com. If you can’t find them, contact someone at that site. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Hello Larry,
I am an old fan of yours, check your records, and this is the reason I turned to you..
I utilize AJAX in my applications and would like to know of a secure way to integrate it within my applications, that is using PHP + AJAX.
The major concern is to ensure that the page that is being called is the one that has actually initiated it and that is usually solved with a token.. looking to dig deeper within this area.
Are you able to refer to the article that you see suitable please ?
Thanks for the comments and for being a long-time fan! Much appreciated. I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking here, but if you post a message in a support forum I’d be glad to assist there. Thanks!
Hi Larry,
If all coding books were as well thought out as yours there wouldn’t be such badly written code loose in the wild.
How about a PHP5 OOP book for your next effort – perhaps using PDO.
Thank you very much, Andy, for the nice words. Quite nice to hear! Thanks, too, for the suggestion. The PHP Advanced book is where I discuss OOP, among other topics. I’m starting to think about the third edition, though, and will be doing more OOP in it. It’ll come out summer 2012.
