This book won't work as a reference for PHP language; we will just
cover OOP features of PHP and not the basics of general PHP. If you are looking for
a good reference book, consult the PHP manual at first and then you can study Core
PHP Programming, a very good book written by Leon Atkinson.
OOP vs. Procedural Programming

Introduction to PHP
This section is not for you if you are already a PHP developer, but for those who are
new to PHP and starting with this book. Though I said at the very beginning that I
assume you will have some pre development experience in PHP while reading this
book, but if you are a total fresher and want to learn OOP with this book, this section
may be worth recalling the basic PHP language features. If you are already familiar
enough, don't skip this section as we have other topics to discuss here.
So you may ask where is the introduction to PHP, I am not seeing any code here!
Well, you don't need to. The best resource on the internet is for free. Please go to
http://www.php.net and download the manual and read the basic chapters. For
a detailed learning of PHP, you can study the book Learning PHP5 written by
David Sklar.
