aybe you’re a great programmer or IT professional, but marketing isn’t your thing. Or perhaps you’re a tech-savvy search engine marketer who wants a peek under the hood of a search engine optimized web site. Search engine marketing is a field where technology and marketing are both critical and interdependent, because small changes in the implementation of a web site can make you or break you in search engine rankings. Furthermore, the fusion of technology and marketing know-how can create web site features that attract more visitors.

The mission of this book is to help web developers create web sites that rank well with the major search engines, and to teach search engine marketers how to use technology to their advantage. We assert that neither marketing nor IT can exist in a vacuum, and it is essential that they not see themselves as opposing forces in an organization. They must work together. This book aims to educate both sides in that regard.

Building Scalable PHP Applications
Building a scalable PHP application requires a lot more than just good coding. In this article, Chris Hartjes takes a look at some of the major concepts that have to be considered when building PHP systems that can meet a surge in demand head-on.


Long Live the Code
Companies of all sizes use PHP widely today. As the PHP codebase grows, maintaining existing code becomes an increasingly important part of a developer’s work. Along the way, major PHP updates like PHP 6 and reusable components like PEAR, eZ components, and the Zend Framework are shaping up. Author Stefan Priebsch explains how you can avoid rewriting your code from scratch and still benefit from these new improvements.


Frameworks: What's the Big Deal?
Prado, Ruby on Rails, .NET, Struts, CakePHP, Zope, Cocoa, Turbine, Drupal, J2EE, the Zend PHP Framework... it seems the development world is just crazy about frameworks these days. What's the big deal? Why is it that web development seems to be moving toward frameworks? Find out in this piece by Darryl Patterson.



Test Pattern: Organizing for Change
Change is a fact of life in software development. New columnist Jeff Moore explains how we can apply some of the same principles we used to organize our physical work areas toward organizing our software to adapt to change.


Security Corner: Cross-Site Request Forgery in Action
Of all the modern attacks aimed at the visitor of a website, cross-site request forgery (CSRF) is one of the most interesting, since it allows exploitation without the actual hacking of the website. Security expert Ilia Alshanetsky explains how CSRF uses a seemingly benign web feature to trick and confuse the user into performing the tasks desired by the hacker.

Book Description
In this book you'll learn how to:

   * Create dynamic websites with design and usability in mind, as well as functionality
   * Understand how PHP scripts work, giving you confidence to adapt them to your own needs
   * Bring online forms to life, check required fields, and ensure user input is safe to process
   * Upload files and automatically create thumbnails from larger images
   * Manage website content with a searchable database

You want to make your websites more dynamic by adding a feedback form, creating a private area where members can upload images that are automatically resized, or perhaps storing all your content in a database. The problem is, you're not a programmer and the thought of writing code sends a chill up your spine. Or maybe you've dabbled a bit in PHP and MySQL, but you can't get past baby steps. If this describes you, then you've just found the right book. PHP and the MySQL database are deservedly the most popular combination for creating dynamic websites. They're free, easy to use, and provided by many web hosting companies in their standard packages. Unfortunately, most PHP books either expect you to be an expert already or force you to go through endless exercises of little practical value. In contrast, this book gives you real value right away through a series of practical examples that you can incorporate directly into your sites, optimizing performance and adding functionality such as file uploading, email feedback forms, image galleries, content management systems, and much more. Each solution is created with not only functionality in mind, but also visual design. But this book doesn't just provide a collection of ready-made scripts: each PHP Solution builds on what's gone before, teaching you the basics of PHP and database design quickly and painlessly. By the end of the book, you'll have the confidence to start writing your own scripts or&8212;if you prefer to leave that task to othersto adapt existing scripts to your own requirements. Right from the start, you're shown how easy it is to protect your sites by adopting secure coding practices. The book has been written with an eye on forward and backward compatibilityrecommending the latest PHP 5 techniques, but providing alternative solutions for servers still running PHP 4.3. All database examples demonstrate how to use the original MySQL extension, MySQL Improved, or the PHP Data Objects (PDO) introduced in PHP 5.1, letting you choose the most suitable option for your setup. Summary of Contents:

   * Chapter 1: What Is PHPAnd Why Should I Care?
   * Chapter 2: Getting Ready to Work with PHP
   * Chapter 3: How to Write PHP Scripts

With no corporate IT department just down the hallway, he was forced to learn how to fix everything himself. When not tinkering with the innards of his computer, he was reporting for BBC TV and radio on the rise and collapse of the Japanese bubble economy. Since leaving the BBC to work independently, he has built up an online bilingual database of economic and political analysis for Japanese clients of an international consultancy.

When not pounding the keyboard writing books or dreaming of new ways of using PHP and other programming languages, David enjoys nothing better than visiting his favorite sushi restaurant. He has also translated several plays from Japanese.

His clear writing style is valued not only in the English-speaking world; several of his books have been translated into Spanish and Polish.

What started as a mild interest in computing was transformed almost overnight into a passion, when David was posted to Japan in 1987 as BBC correspondent in Tokyo. With no corporate IT department just down the hallway, he was forced to learn how to fix everything himself. When not tinkering with the innards of his computer, he was reporting for BBC TV and radio on the rise and collapse of the Japanese bubble economy. Since leaving the BBC to work independently, he has built up an online bilingual database of economic and political analysis for Japanese clients of an international consultancy.

When not pounding the keyboard writing books or dreaming of new ways of using PHP and other programming languages, David enjoys nothing better than visiting his favorite sushi restaurant. He has also translated several plays from Japanese.
