Web Resources
THIS APPENDIX LISTS SOME OF THE MANY resources available on the Web that you can
use to find tutorials, articles, news, and sample PHP code.These resources are just some
of the many out there. Obviously, there are far more than we could possibly list in one
appendix, and many more are popping up daily as the usage of and familiarity with PHP
and MySQL continue to increase among web developers.
Some of these resources are in different languages such as German or French or
something other than your native language.We suggest using a translator like
http://www.systransoft.com to browse the web resource in your native language.
PHP Resources
PHP.Net—http://www.php.net—The original site for PHP. Go to this site to download
binary and source versions of PHP and the manual, to browse the mailing list
archives, and to keep up to date with PHP news.
Zend.Com—http://www.zend.com—The source for the Zend engine that powers
PHP.This portal site contains forums, articles, tutorials, and a database of sample classes
and code that you can use.
PEAR—http://pear.php.net—The PHP Extension and Application Repository.This
is the official PHP extension site.
PECL—http://pecl.php.net—The sister-site to PEAR. PEAR carries classes written
in PHP; PECL (pronounced “pickle”) carries extensions written in C. PECL classes are
sometimes more difficult to install but perform a wider range of functionality and are
almost always more powerful than their PHP-based counterparts.

free articles, or you can subscribe to receive the magazine in either PDF or printed
