PHP and MySQL Recipes

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.
