In 2005 I wrote a few chapters in the book "PHP 5 Recipes". Since then PHP has evolved quite a bit with new features like Namespaces, type hinting and many more. In addition to features the core team has also been focused on performance and resource usage. That lead to the release of PHP 7 which claims to be twice as fast as PHP 5.6 and use only half the memory.

So it was time to upgrade the the book of recipes and when the three other authors from the first book declined to participate I decided to write all the chapters. The result is a book called "PHP and MySQL recipes", published by Apress in June 2016.

PHP Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
