Professional PHP Design Patterns
Book Description
This guide helps PHP developers take advantage of the stability and features of design patterns
Design patterns are the cornerstones of building solid, stable, flexible, and feature-rich Web applications. This guide enables PHP developers to take advantage of everything they offer.
If you are unfamiliar with design patterns, this book explains what you need to know. Both novice and veteran PHP developers will benefit from the alphabetical list of design patterns and code examples showing how to implement each pattern in PHP. Step-by-step instructions for a sample contact management system will help you understand real-world applications for the information.
Gets PHP developers who have not used design patterns up to speed on the technology
Shows programmers who are familiar with design patterns in other languages how to apply the techniques to PHP
Includes examples of ordinary code used in everyday development and how to modify it for one of the design patterns discussed
Provides an alphabetical list of common design patterns, with code examples showing how each can be implemented in PHP
Uses a case study of a contact management system to analyze and demonstrate the step-by-step process of applying design patterns
With its single focus on applying design patterns to PHP development, PHP Design Patterns helps both new and veteran PHP programmers improve their applications and their career prospects.
From the Back Cover
PHP is often considered to be the cornerstone for buildingflexible and feature-rich web applications. Because of its relatively simple initial learning curve, newer programmers can easily create applications in PHP from the ground up. As these applications scale, however, the maintenance can seem daunting. Luckily, the mature programming community has something to offer: Design Patterns. These repeatable solutions for common problems have been applied for years to other programming languages. This book aims to bridge the gap between the PHP and the older programming language by applying those tried and tested Design Patterns to native PHP applications.This book starts with an introduction to Design Patterns, describes their use and importance, and details where you’ve seen them already. It continues through a host of Design Patterns with code examples and explanations. Finally, an in-depth case study shows you how to plan your next application using Design Patterns, how to program those patterns in PHP, and how to revise and refactor an existing block of code using Design Patterns from the book. The author approaches the concepts in technical yet usable formats that are familiar to both programmers who are self-taught and those with more extensive formal education.
What you will learn from this book
What Design Patterns are and why they matter in PHP
Commonly established PHP Library usage of Design Patterns
Faster and more efficient object creation with Design Patterns like Builder, Façade, Prototype and Template
Decoupled architecture using Data Access Object and Proxy Design Patterns
Better code flow and control using the Delegate, Factory and Singleton Design Patterns
How to implement Visitor and Decorator Design Patterns to enhance objects without modifying their core
Comprehensive plug-in creation techniques using Observer Design Pattern
How to plan application architecture using Design Patterns
How to program a case study web site from start to finish with Design Pattern based coding
How to recognize architectural benefits from Design Patterns in an existing application
Methods to further strengthen code from case study analysis
Who this book is for
This book is for experienced PHP programmers who are looking to enhance the quality of their code architecture with Design Patterns.

PHP 5 CMS Framework Development, 2nd Edition
Book Description
If you want an insight into the critical design issues and programming techniques required for a web oriented framework in PHP5, this book will be invaluable. Whether you want to build your own CMS style framework, want to understand how such frameworks are created, or simply want to review advanced PHP5 software development techniques, this book is for you.
As a former development team leader on the renowned Mambo open-source content management system, author Martin Brampton offers unique insight and practical guidance into the problem of building an architecture for a web oriented framework or content management system, using the latest versions of popular web scripting language PHP.
The scene-setting first chapter describes the evolution of PHP frameworks designed to support web sites by acting as content management systems. It reviews the critical and desirable features of such systems, followed by an overview of the technology and a review of the technical environment.
Following chapters look at particular topics, with:
A concise statement of the problem
Discussion of the important design issues and problems faced
Creation of the framework solution
At every point, there is an emphasis on effectiveness, efficiency and security – all vital attributes for sound web systems. By and large these are achieved through thoughtful design and careful implementation.
Early chapters look at the best ways to handle some fundamental issues such as the automatic loading of code modules and interfaces to database systems. Digging deeper into the problems that are driven by web requirements, following chapters go deeply into session handling, caches, and access control.
New for this edition is a chapter discussing the transformation of URLs to turn ugly query strings into readable strings that are believed to be more “search engine friendly” and are certainly more user friendly. This topic is then extended into a review of ways to handle “friendly” URLs without going through query strings, and how to build RESTful interfaces.
The final chapter discusses the key issues that affect a wide range of specific content handlers and explores a practical example in detail.
This book takes you through the creation of a working architecture for a PHP 5-based framework for web applications, stepping you through the design and major implementation issues, right through to explanations of working code examples
What you will learn from this book:
Effective coding techniques, illustrated through examples of key parts of sample solutions, along with detailed explanations.
Object architectures to fully exploit PHP 5 in advanced systems
A foundation for database processing to ease further development
Technical functions such as handling user sessions and the efficient creation and use of caches
How to support add-on applications to extend the main framework
Flexible and efficient ways to deal with supporting different world languages
Reviews and practical solutions for topics including XML handling, configuration management, editing, file system interfaces, mail, spam, timed operations and parameter objects
Transforming query string URLs to be more “friendly” both for people and search engines
Alternative ways to deal with presentation services, including discussion of MVC (model-view-controller)
Approach
The book includes extensive discussion of the design issues, and how to overcome them in the framework. Each chapter of the book focuses on a particular requirement of the framework. The book will not present the total code for a framework, which requires many thousands of lines. But it does show the parts that raise critical design or implementation issues. For these, detailed explanation is given, leaving the less problematic parts to the code download itself.
Who this book is written for
If you are a professional PHP developer who wants to know more about web oriented frameworks and content management systems, this book is for you. Whether you already use an in-house developed framework or are developing one, or if you are simply interested in the issues involved in this demanding area, you will find discussion ranging from design issues to detailed coding solutions in this book.
You are expected to have experience working with PHP 5 object-oriented programming. Examples in the book will run on any recent version of PHP 5, including 5.3.

Professional PHP Design Patterns
Book Description
This guide helps PHP developers take advantage of the stability and features of design patterns
Design patterns are the cornerstones of building solid, stable, flexible, and feature-rich Web applications. This guide enables PHP developers to take advantage of everything they offer.
If you are unfamiliar with design patterns, this book explains what you need to know. Both novice and veteran PHP developers will benefit from the alphabetical list of design patterns and code examples showing how to implement each pattern in PHP. Step-by-step instructions for a sample contact management system will help you understand real-world applications for the information.
Gets PHP developers who have not used design patterns up to speed on the technology
Shows programmers who are familiar with design patterns in other languages how to apply the techniques to PHP
Includes examples of ordinary code used in everyday development and how to modify it for one of the design patterns discussed
Provides an alphabetical list of common design patterns, with code examples showing how each can be implemented in PHP
Uses a case study of a contact management system to analyze and demonstrate the step-by-step process of applying design patterns
With its single focus on applying design patterns to PHP development, PHP Design Patterns helps both new and veteran PHP programmers improve their applications and their career prospects.
From the Back Cover
PHP is often considered to be the cornerstone for buildingflexible and feature-rich web applications. Because of its relatively simple initial learning curve, newer programmers can easily create applications in PHP from the ground up. As these applications scale, however, the maintenance can seem daunting. Luckily, the mature programming community has something to offer: Design Patterns. These repeatable solutions for common problems have been applied for years to other programming languages. This book aims to bridge the gap between the PHP and the older programming language by applying those tried and tested Design Patterns to native PHP applications.This book starts with an introduction to Design Patterns, describes their use and importance, and details where you’ve seen them already. It continues through a host of Design Patterns with code examples and explanations. Finally, an in-depth case study shows you how to plan your next application using Design Patterns, how to program those patterns in PHP, and how to revise and refactor an existing block of code using Design Patterns from the book. The author approaches the concepts in technical yet usable formats that are familiar to both programmers who are self-taught and those with more extensive formal education.

PHP 5 CMS Framework Development, 2nd Edition
Book Description
If you want an insight into the critical design issues and programming techniques required for a web oriented framework in PHP5, this book will be invaluable. Whether you want to build your own CMS style framework, want to understand how such frameworks are created, or simply want to review advanced PHP5 software development techniques, this book is for you.
As a former development team leader on the renowned Mambo open-source content management system, author Martin Brampton offers unique insight and practical guidance into the problem of building an architecture for a web oriented framework or content management system, using the latest versions of popular web scripting language PHP.
The scene-setting first chapter describes the evolution of PHP frameworks designed to support web sites by acting as content management systems. It reviews the critical and desirable features of such systems, followed by an overview of the technology and a review of the technical environment.
Following chapters look at particular topics, with:
A concise statement of the problem
Discussion of the important design issues and problems faced
Creation of the framework solution
At every point, there is an emphasis on effectiveness, efficiency and security – all vital attributes for sound web systems. By and large these are achieved through thoughtful design and careful implementation.
Early chapters look at the best ways to handle some fundamental issues such as the automatic loading of code modules and interfaces to database systems. Digging deeper into the problems that are driven by web requirements, following chapters go deeply into session handling, caches, and access control.
New for this edition is a chapter discussing the transformation of URLs to turn ugly query strings into readable strings that are believed to be more “search engine friendly” and are certainly more user friendly. This topic is then extended into a review of ways to handle “friendly” URLs without going through query strings, and how to build RESTful interfaces.
The final chapter discusses the key issues that affect a wide range of specific content handlers and explores a practical example in detail.
This book takes you through the creation of a working architecture for a PHP 5-based framework for web applications, stepping you through the design and major implementation issues, right through to explanations of working code examples
What you will learn from this book:
Effective coding techniques, illustrated through examples of key parts of sample solutions, along with detailed explanations.
Object architectures to fully exploit PHP 5 in advanced systems
A foundation for database processing to ease further development
Technical functions such as handling user sessions and the efficient creation and use of caches
How to support add-on applications to extend the main framework
Flexible and efficient ways to deal with supporting different world languages
Reviews and practical solutions for topics including XML handling, configuration management, editing, file system interfaces, mail, spam, timed operations and parameter objects
Transforming query string URLs to be more “friendly” both for people and search engines
Alternative ways to deal with presentation services, including discussion of MVC (model-view-controller)
Approach
The book includes extensive discussion of the design issues, and how to overcome them in the framework. Each chapter of the book focuses on a particular requirement of the framework. The book will not present the total code for a framework, which requires many thousands of lines. But it does show the parts that raise critical design or implementation issues. For these, detailed explanation is given, leaving the less problematic parts to the code download itself.
Who this book is written for
If you are a professional PHP developer who wants to know more about web oriented frameworks and content management systems, this book is for you. Whether you already use an in-house developed framework or are developing one, or if you are simply interested in the issues involved in this demanding area, you will find discussion ranging from design issues to detailed coding solutions in this book.
You are expected to have experience working with PHP 5 object-oriented programming. Examples in the book will run on any recent version of PHP 5, including 5.3.
