7.4 Handling data

This is NOT the latest copy of this book; click here for the latest version.

Handling data coming in from HTML pages is by far and away the most common task in PHP, and many might say it deserves a whole chapter to itself! In this section we will be looking in-depth at how variables get into your scripts, and also how you can distinguish between where those variables come from.

Table of Contents

Want to see this stuff in print? PHP in a Nutshell takes the core topics covered here, adds in thousands of edits from the editorial team and myself, and combines them to make an unbeatable reference for PHP programmers at all levels.

My latest book has hundreds more tips on how to use PHP, Apache, and MySQL, plus Perl, Python, shell scripts, performance tuning, and more!

Hi Paul

I come from a C/C++ bg and have been trying to teach myself PHP for a couple of months now and read a few tutorials online, just when I felt I knew enough, I bumped into your tutorial which clearly explained a lot of confusions (that I previously wrongly thought I could live with).

Your book on PHP is a very good book indeed, the best I've seen so far on the web and in paper.

Keep up the good work.
Thanks very much for this indeed.

This is a great book for beginners. I can't believe i just found out about this. Anyone beginning working with PHP should definately check this out.

Great job on this!
