PHP501 - PHP5 Development

PHP5 evolves toward extensive projects for large enterprises. PHP5 offers the best of both worlds : a tried and tested scripting language as well as all the standard object oriented development functionalities, with a few add-ons. During the Zend Engine 2 development, Zend and the PHP Group have worked on refining the object oriented model to web services, on an improved integration of XML and XSLT, of the MySQL's new functionalities, and of SQLite. PHP5 is the awaited improvement that brings PHP to the same level as J2EE and .NET, while reducing the development time.

This course will allow students to benefit fully of all the advantages, improvements and add-ons in PHP5. It also gives means to migrate all applications from version 4 to 5.
