Dedication

This book is dedicated to anyone who finds it useful.

Author’s Acknowledgments

I wish to express my appreciation to the entire Open Source community.

Without those people who give their time and talent, there would be no cool

PHP for me to write about. Furthermore, I never would have learned this soft-

ware without the PHP lists where people generously spend their time answer-

ing foolish questions from beginners. Many ideas have come from reading

questions and answers on the lists.

I want to thank my mother for passing on a writing gene and a good work

ethic. Anything I accomplish has its roots in my beginnings. And, of course,

thank you to my children who manage to remain close, though far away, and

nourish my spirit.

And, of course, I want to thank the professionals who made it all possible.

Without my agent, my editors, and all the other people at Wiley, this book

would not exist. Because they all do their jobs so well, I can contribute my

part to this joint project.
