From the Back Cover
The 5th edition of this popular book has been fully updated for PHP 7, including replacing the PEAR package manager with Composer, and new material on Vagrant and PHP standards. It provides a solid grounding in PHP's support for objects, it builds on this foundation to instill core principles of software design and then covers the tools and practices needed to develop, test and deploy robust code. PHP Objects, Patterns, and Practice begins by covering PHP's object-oriented features. It introduces key topics including class declaration, inheritance, reflection and much more. The next section is devoted to design patterns. It explains the principles that make patterns powerful. The book covers many of the classic design patterns and includes chapters on enterprise and database patterns. The last segment of the book covers the tools and practices that can help turn great code into a successful project. The section shows how to manage multiple developers and releases with git, how to manage builds and dependencies with Composer. It also explores strategies for automated testing and continuous integration.Taken together, these three elements: object fundamentals, design principles, and best practice, will help the reader develop elegant and rock solid systems.

VERY good book.BUY it, if you really want to learn objects and patterns in PHP.I have 14 years of PHP development experience and I learned A LOT from this book.Very well written and with very good examples.Highly recommend to any level PHP developers!
I've owned PHP Objects, Patterns, and Practice for over a year, and it's still one of those books I go back to. It's a well written, generally well executed book on what constitutes Object Oriented Programming in the PHP5 environment.First, the good news:This book is a crash course on OOP design and thought. It borrows heavily from two monumentous texts in the field - the Gang of Four's book, and Java Enterprise Patterns - and condences their essences into an easy to swallow form. The basics are all here: how to create well designed classes, how to instantiate objects, etc. There's a hidden gem in the introductory portion of the book: the Reflection API. This API is built into PHP, and gives the coder unparalleled access to the guts of the classes and objects in a given project. It definitely has its uses.The patterns are all generally useful, with the only exception perhaps being the Interpreter pattern. I'm just not convinced that creating one's own command line interface syntax is necessary, given that PHP projects aren't usually interactive. It seems like something best left to an appendex, or extra web content.Now, for the bad news:Some sections of the book, especially some of the code examples, could've used a better editor. Small things, the kinds of things that can trip up inexperienced coders, crop up. Using private properties instead of protected. Using the wrong variable name between examples. That sort of thing.There's also a lack of a satisfying conclusion, so-to-speak. Zandstra himself claims that generating objects is perhaps the hardest thing to demonstrate. Yet, most of his examples (excepting the patterns late in the book) are canned. Objects and classes exist only to drive the theory behind a pattern home. Few real world examples are given. Admittedly, some patterns are simple to transfer to a real project, but concrete examples of that nature could serve to further cement his point. For example, it's not difficult to see how the Composite pattern would work well for dealing with an XML document, but would there ever be a need for a Visitor object to act on one?Finally, and in continuation of my last criticism, Zandstra never touches one of the things PHP is used the most for: form handling. Can forms be represented by classes? Could forms be generated by objects (perhaps using a Factory pattern)? What about form validators? Wouldn't the Strategy or Decorator pattern work? Supplementing his online Civilization game and CLI/quiz examples with this would've really put the book over the top.Still, with that said, PHP Objects, Patterns, and Practice is still a text that gets far more right than wrong. It's definitely a must-buy for those PHP coders looking to write modular code.
The book starts a bit silly. If I'm reading a book about object oriented PHP development, is because I WANT to do OOP with PHP, you don't have to sell it to me or tell me that since previous versions there was some hideous object orientation-like structure. I fear this comes to "fix" the issue that a most of the opensource PHP projects I've seen are not object oriented (or were not when I looked at them), so the book tries to teach how to do things better in OOP.Apart from that, it starts not teaching you the basics of PHP, but entering directly into objects in PHP5, which I appreciate. It goes step by step explaining everything, and giving good advices of bad practices to avoid.There are a lot of notes of how to "fix" the code for PHP4, not bad, but a bit annoying. Given the poor object orientation of all previous versions, the book should stick to PHP5 only.The book explains all basic concepts of OOP (including advices and good practices), UML diagrams, going on to specific design pattern implementations in Part 3 of the book. This has been for me personally the "gold" part of the book, specific PHP 5 implementations of DP allowed me to see true object oriented source codes.The patterns come from three widely known books, and are very well explained. We can find from the typical Singleton or Factory, to some other advanced ones like the Strategy or the Observer.The code samples are quite good, giving you direct examples of how to implement a Factory design pattern or playing with classes and inheritance to show exactly how they work. There is a lot of theory and good practices too. Much better than the usual hello world and simple ones, this codes can be really of help in real word scenarios.Avoiding reinventing the wheel, whenever necessary the book mentions the SPL (Standard PHP Library) for already available pattern tools and objects (like the Observer or the Iterator).Chapter 11 goes on some Gang of Four patternns (the classics), but chapter 12 talks about enterprise patterns, and chapter 13 database patterns.One of the big examples is actually how to build a full MVC engine, with a frontend controller, an application controller for the logic, views, templates (including the Template pattern by Flowler)...After the MVC and presentation patterns, another bunch of Business Logic Layer patterns (like the Domain Models), and then goes into Database patterns, like the Data Access Layer, Identity Map...When approaching serialization, gives good advices on how to do it. And if any kind of code hack or "non-perfect technique" is performed, we are advised of it very clearly. I wish other books were so careful to try to teach only good things...After a bit more than 300 pages, the book switches to non-coding advices, tips and basic knowledge, like source code control (but using CVS, which is quite outdated!!), PEAR, testing with PHPUnit, automated builds...This part for me felt a bit like filling up pages of the book. If I want generic advices I will search for them, I was searching for design patterns applied to PHP and as much as general advices, not more than 160 pages of non-patterns stuff.Being a .NET developer since years, at first looks strange to me to be teached once and again that I should use classes and structure accordingly the code. While not yet perfect, object orientation in PHP5 looks useful enough to be able to do really good architectures for web applications, it just lacks more restrictions to avoid an inmense amount of errors that still can happen if you're not a skilled PHP developer (things like dynamic properties creation, untyped parameters or dynamic class instantiation should be at least redone in a more restrictive syntax).Also, I liked the author's point of view, not telling you to always implement design patterns the same way, but understand what they try to solve, and extract what you need for your projects. I really wish other books (whenever about PHP or any other language) had so good and real-life practical examples as this one.This book is a must-read for PHP developers that want to take out the common thinking of "you can't do clean code with PHP" (which sadly occurs too often). Even when it should be only 300 pages, is worth it (but is also why I'm giving it 3 stars out of 5).
Matt Zandstra gives a good coverage of multiple OOP patterns applied to PHP programming, with good tips about where and how to use them. He also gives a small intro de PHP and write a lot about other topics (the "Practice" part of the book: using PEAR, testing, version control, continuos integration, etc.) all applied to PHP programming. Lot of people think this book is only for advanced programming but I think even novices would benefit from it. If you already have a previous edition this edition is a good upgrade (Matt rewrote some chapters, specially the ones on Practice). Even the printing is far better than the 3rd edition (the previous edition used terrible font and spacing making it hard to read) and it's more compact. I recommend this book to any PHP developer (novices or experts alike).
I have several years of Java experience and I needed to learn PHP for work. Because of my Java experience, I didn't need to learn programming in PHP from scratch - just take what I know in Java and learn how to do it in PHP. (I uset this book in combination with other online exercises.) This book helped me do that, and as an added bonus provided a refresher on object oriented design and design patterns.
Very, very instructive book for intermediate to advanced PHP programmers. There are many 'professional' developers who really ought to study this book or one like it, such as Introduction to Algorithms, Pattern Hatching, or Design Patterns, all available on Amazon.
