Acknowledgments
All of the authors would like to thank the technical reviewers for their helpful com-
ments on the content of this book: Shane Caraveo, Andi Gutmans, and Stig Bakken.
We’d also like to thank Andi Gutmans, Zeev Suraski, Stig Bakken, Shane Caraveo,
and Randy Jay Yarger for their contributions to early drafts of material for this book.
Rasmus Lerdorf
I would like to acknowledge the large and wonderfully boisterous PHP community,
without which there would be no PHP today.
Kevin Tatroe
I’ll err on the side of caution and thank Nat Torkington for dragging me into this
project. (“You don’t want to write a book, it’s a miserable experience... Hey, want to
write a book?”) While I was writing, the denizens of Nerdsholm and 3WA were
always quick with help and/or snarky commentary, both of which contributed to the
book’s completion. Without twice-monthly game sessions to keep me sane, I would
surely have given up well before the last chapter was delivered: thank you to my fel-
low players, Jenn, Keith, Joe, Keli, Andy, Brad, Pete, and Jim.
Finally, and most importantly, a huge debt of gratitude is owed to Jennifer and Had-
den, both of whom put up with more neglect over the course of the past year than
any good people deserve.
Bob Kaehms
Thanks to my wife Janet and the kids (Jenny, Megan, and Bobby), to Alan Brown for
helping me understand the issues in integrating COM with PHP, and to the staff at
Media Net Link for allowing me to add this project to my ever-expanding list of
extracurricular activities.
