Acknowledgments<br />

All of the authors would like to thank the technical reviewers for their helpful comments<br />

on the content of this book: Shane Caraveo, Andi Gutmans, and Stig Bakken.<br />

We’d also like to thank Andi Gutmans, Zeev Suraski, Stig Bakken, Shane Caraveo,<br />

and Randy Jay Yarger for their contributions to early drafts of material for this book.<br />

Rasmus Lerdorf<br />

I would like to acknowledge the large and wonderfully boisterous <strong>PHP</strong> community,<br />

without which there would be no <strong>PHP</strong> today.<br />

Kevin Tatroe<br />

I’ll err on the side of caution and thank Nat Torkington for dragging me into this<br />

project. (“You don’t want to write a book, it’s a miserable experience... Hey, want to<br />

write a book?”) While I was writing, the denizens of Nerdsholm and 3WA were<br />

always quick with help and/or snarky commentary, both of which contributed to the<br />

book’s completion. Without twice-monthly game sessions to keep me sane, I would<br />

surely have given up well before the last chapter was delivered: thank you to my fellow<br />

players, Jenn, Keith, Joe, Keli, Andy, Brad, Pete, and Jim.<br />

Finally, and most importantly, a huge debt of gratitude is owed to Jennifer and Hadden,<br />

both of whom put up with more neglect over the course of the past year than<br />

any good people deserve.<br />

Bob Kaehms<br />

Thanks to my wife Janet and the kids (Jenny, Megan, and Bobby), to Alan Brown for<br />

helping me understand the issues in integrating COM with <strong>PHP</strong>, and to the staff at<br />

Media Net Link for allowing me to add this project to my ever-expanding list of<br />

extracurricular activities.<br />
