PHP Cookbook: Web Basics

Web programming is probably why one is reading this paper. It's why the first version of PHP was written and what continues to make it so popular today. With PHP, it's easy to write dynamic web programs that do almost anything. Other papers cover various PHP capabilities, like graphics, regular expressions, database access, and file I/O. These capabilities are all part of web programming, but this paper focuses on some web-specific concepts and organizational topics that will make the web programming stronger.
