I just bought PHP and MySQL Web Development 4th Edition by Welling and Thompson. The book uses examples from the CD-ROM, which appears to not come with the Kindle Edition. Is there any way to download, legally or questionably, the CD that contains the code samples? I'm finding the book really useful, but don't want to manually type in al...
If I am using a tree structure of nodes similar to the code below, do I have to worry about the circular reference?

How widespread, supported, developed is testing in the PHP world? On par with Java? Up there with Ruby/Rails?

There's session_decode() but it writes directly to the $_SESSION super-global. There's unserialize() but it returns false on session_encode()'d strings as they're...

Okay, here's one for the pro's: For a couple of years now, i've been working on my own PHP ORM/ActiveRecord implementation that i named Pork.dbObject. It's loosly based on the 'make your own site with rails in 5 minutes' movie we all saw a couple of years ago. You can do things like: $clients = dbObject::Search("Client", array("ID > 5...
Its been YEARS since I did any PHP. I am working in .NET but supposed to be teaming up with some PHP people. I'd really like to get up to speed a little in whats changed in the language and the IDE tools - but I really don't have the time nor energy to learn anything.
