cNickerson Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Hello, I have the 3rd and 4th edition. I like to browse through new edition to see what Larry has updated. What has changed in the 5th edition? Does it cover some OOP? Does it cover PDO for MySQL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Apologies for the delayed reply; I was on vacation! Thanks for your question and interest in the book. The fourth edition was a really heavy rewrite of the 3rd edition; the fifth edition is a fairly mild update: Fixed all the bugs; made everything up-to-date for the current standards, PHP 7, etc.; moved the appendix back into the printed edition, but lost Chapter 19 accordingly; added a bit more security. It covers the same OOP as the 4th and I'm pretty sure both cover PDO for MySQL. If you have the 4th edition, you may not benefit that much from the 5th (maybe look at "What's new in PHP 7" instead). Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
