PHP +

This is by far the most comprehensive PHP reference app on the App Store, providing not only the complete PHP manual in a fast, searchable form, but also a complete copy of my book Practical PHP Programming, which provides in-depth documentation for hundreds of PHP functions alongside over a thousand practical code examples to help you get the most from PHP. If you've ever heard someone talk about "the Hudzilla PHP book", you've just found it!

This app gives you:
- The complete PHP manual at your fingertips with a beautiful, iPhone- and iPad-optimised reading experience.
- Fast function look up and description for over 4000 functions
- A complete copy of my book Practical PHP Programming, which is a heavily revised and extended edition of the O'Reilly book "PHP in a Nutshell".
- Full keyword search across the PHP manual and Practical PHP Programming, helping you find what you need fast.
- Covers everything from MySQL, OOP, networking and XML through to security concerns, optimising your code and writing custom PHP extensions.
- Works across iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad with a single purchase - use it wherever you want!

Some other apps just give you the PHP manual, some give you a half-baked PHP tutorial, but Practical PHP gives you all that and a whole lot more - it's the ultimate tutorial and reference guide for PHP developers of all levels!

But don't just take my word for it - here are some things others have said:
