YES! The second edition is out! With the huge popularity of the LAMP (Linux Apache Mysql PHP) environment dominating the shared web server environment, it's no wonder that PHP reference books have exploded. So while Ruby on Rails/Python/etc are gaining popularity, PHP is still one of the most prevelent scripting languages for web servers today. So even with a Computer Science background, I still learn best from examples, and that is what this refreshed edition is all about. So my fellow web hackers, this is the answer to those nagging questions on how to implement the usability features in your website that have been eluding you. (ie. email without using a mailto: command, killing that second accidental form submit click, pulling environment variables, dealing with time zones, etc)
