Aside from being a robust open source server-side scripting language, PHP is easy to learn and master even for someone like myself without a CS degree or background. The combination of PHP, MySQL, and Apache has become a welcome solution to many Web applications deployed by numerous entrepreneurial businesses, non-profit organizations, company intranets, and online e-commerce stores. It’s been more than 6 years since I started using PHP in Web design projects. And during these years, PHP has gone through lots of improvements and its latest stable version (5.2) packs numerous changes and new features making this scripting language even more robust. So I’ve decided to update my knowledge in PHP, and while I am at it, I will obtain a PHP 5 Certification offered by Zend so my PHP skills can be officially recognized. In the process of studying for the exam, I’ve learned many new features in PHP 5 as well as other PHP knowledge that I wasn’t aware of previously. I am happy that the preparation process has been progressing nicely, and I am expecting to complete the study and pass the exam by the end of the month. Wish me luck!
