Re: XML and PHP by Vikram Vaswani

[Nigel S. <nig...@us...>]

:o)  Well spotted!!!  It was only published a few months/weeks ago!!

Yeah I have a copy, so does Sam, we were consulted back at the start of the
year.

Yeah I would recommend it, I've been working through some of the chapters
and there is a really good and useful spread of topics allowing you to learn
and understand how many PHP/XML based technologies fit together to allow you
to design websites built on XML.  The chapters are fully of well commented
and described examples that allow you to scan through and read the self
documenting source, and then just read the paragraphs when you aren't clear
about something.

I learnt stuff from it, todo with WDDX, XML-RPC and SOAP, but the
SAX/XPath/XSL/Db stuff was already familiar, so it may be beyond some of you
already, but for those who are relatively new to either PHP or XML it really
is a great reference/tutorial book :o)  Add to that the finish and style are
really nice so it's a pleasure to read.

BTW, Vikram, I still have the intention of putting a review similar to this
on the phpxpath homepage, as it is a book I would be happy to recommend to
our users :o)

:o)
