Manuale per programmatori PHP tra l'intermedio e l'avanzato.
Ci si trovano molte chicche di programmazione notevoli, scorciatoie e informazioni su funzioni che pochi conoscono ma che semplificano molto la vita.
Peccato per i capitoli sul testing, che sono un po' confusi e forse poco curati. Risistemandoli un po' prenderebbe pieni voti.
Le appendici, su PECL e sulla SPL, sono abbondanti, e avrebbero meritato di essere capitoli veri e propri. Anche un maggiore approfondimento sulla SPL e magari sugli stream avrebbe giovato.
Not as advanced as you might expect, but still a good book. Particularly useful if you're just moving to PHP 5.3. If you're considering creating an API, the related sections of this book are a helpful introduction.
