Extending and Embedding PHP (Paperback)

Description

In just a few years PHP has rapidly evolved from a small niche language to a powerful web development tool. Now in use on over 14 million Web sites, PHP is more stable and extensible than ever. However, there is no documentation on how to extend PHP; developers seeking to build PHP extensions and increase the performance and functionality of their PHP applications are left to word of mouth and muddling through PHP internals without systematic, helpful guidance. Although the basics of extension writing are fairly easy to grasp, the more advanced features have a tougher learning curve that can be very difficult to overcome. This is common at any moderate to high-traffic site, forcing the company hire talented, and high-priced, developers to increase performance. With Extending and Embedding PHP, Sara Golemon makes writing extensions within the grasp of every PHP developer, while guiding the reader through the tricky internals of PHP.

描述

在短短幾年內，PHP從一個小眾語言迅速發展成為一個強大的網頁開發工具。現在已經有超過1,400萬個網站使用PHP，它比以往更穩定和可擴展。然而，目前沒有關於如何擴展PHP的文檔；開發人員想要構建PHP擴展並提高其應用程序的性能和功能，只能依靠口耳相傳和摸索PHP內部的方式，缺乏系統性和有用的指導。雖然擴展編寫的基礎相對容易理解，但更高級的功能具有更難的學習曲線，很難克服。這在任何中等到高流量的網站上都很常見，迫使公司雇用有才華且價格昂貴的開發人員來提高性能。在《擴展和嵌入PHP》中，Sara Golemon使得每個PHP開發人員都能夠撰寫擴展，同時引導讀者深入了解PHP的內部結構。
