Summary

PHP Toolbox explains how to use popular PEAR modules and PHP add-ons to simplify your XML processing, database access, templating, and other common tasks. It also explains how to use a PHP code cache or optimizer, which speeds up your code without requiring any rewriting or code changes. The simplicity of PHP, the ease of development, a large community, and the expansive repository of open source PHP libraries, make it a favourite of web designers and developers.
