Fantastic PHP Related Books – 2018 Update

PHP is a recursive acronym that stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor; this is in the naming style of GNU, which stands for GNU’s Not Unix and which began this odd trend. The name isn’t a particularly good description of what PHP is and what it’s commonly used for.

PHP is a scripting language that’s usually embedded or combined with the HTML of a web page. When the page is requested, the web server executes the PHP script and substitutes in the result back into the page. PHP has many excellent libraries that provide fast, customized access to DBMSs and is an ideal tool for developing application logic in the middle tier of a three-tier application.

PHP is an open source project of the Apache Software Foundation and it’s the most popular Apache web server add-on module, with around 53% of the Apache HTTP servers having PHP capabilities. PHP is particularly suited to web database applications because of its integration tools for the Web and database environments.

In particular, the flexibility of embedding scripts in HTML pages permits easy integration of HTML presentation and code. The database tier integration support is also excellent, with more than 15 libraries available to interact with almost all popular database servers.
