This appendix lists some of the many resources available on the Web, which can be used to find
tutorials, articles, news, and sample PHP code. These are just some of the many out there.
Obviously there are far more than we could possibly list in one appendix. And many more that
are popping up daily as the usage of and familiarity with PHP and MySQL continues to increase
among Web developers.
Some of these resources will be in different languages like 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 here to download all the
sources of PHP and for a copy of the manual.
ZEND.Com—http://www.zend.com—The source for the ZEND engine that powers PHP 4.0.
A portal site that contains forums, and a database of sample classes and code that you can use.
A must see.
PHPWizard.net—http://www.phpwizard.net—The source of many cool PHP applications
like phpMyAdmin; an excellent front end GUI for Managing MySQL Servers. You can also
find tutorials on PHP at this site.
PHPBuilder.com—http://www.phpbuilder.com—The portal for PHP tutorials. At this site,
you will find tutorials on just about anything you can think of. Site also has a forum and mes-
sage board for people to post questions.
DevShed.com—http://www.devshed.com—Portal type site offers excellent tutorials on PHP,
MySQL, Perl, and other development languages. A must see for newbies.
PX-PHP Code Exchange—http://px.sklar.com—A great place to start. Here you will find
many sample scripts and useful functions. The site is organized for finding things easily.
The PHP4 Resource—http://www.php-resource.de—A very nice source for tutorials, arti-
cles, and scripts. The only “problem” is that the site is in German. We recommend using a
translator service site to view it. This is how we view it.
WeberDev.com—http://www.WeberDev.com—Formerly known as Berber’s PHP sample page,
this site grew significantly from nothing to a place for tutorials and sample codes. The site tar-
gets PHP and MySQL users, and covers security and general databases, as well as NT. The
only issue is that it requires you to subscribe. But it’s well worth it, considering the informa-
tion it provides.
