With web development now being considered a commodity, projects are getting larger every day.

If you are dealing with large projects on a daily basis, you know that the most difficult task is to deliver products on time and within a budget. However, many factors can influence those variables, including the programming language development methods you choose.

This Short Cut shows you what a good choice it is to use PHP and Smarty for large-scale web projects.

If you follow the principles and methodologies described here, you'll achieve greater productivity in your development tasks.

Chapter 1 explains what CodeIgniter can do, the 'framework', and how CodeIgniter fits in. It further talks about the open-source business model and gives some disadvantages of CodeIgniter, at the end.
Chapter 2 explains what happens when you install the site, and which files will be created. It gives a detailed overview of the required software, and explains the basic configuration of CodeIgniter.
Chapter 3 explains how MVC helps to organize a dynamic website. It goes further to explain the process by which CodeIgniter analyzes an incoming Internet request and decodes which part of your code will handle it. Then CodeIgniter syntax rules and the different types of files or classes you can find—or write for yourself—on a CodeIgniter site are explained. At the end of the chapter, some practical hints on site design are given.
Chapter 4 looks at how you set up a database to work with CodeIgniter, and then how you use the Active Record class to manipulate the database.
Chapter 5 covers various ways of building views, how to create HTML forms quickly, and how to validate your forms using CodeIgniter's validation class.
Chapter 6 looks at one of the basic questions affecting any website i.e. session management and security; we also explore CodeIgniter's session class.
Chapter 7 covers the way in which CodeIgniter uses objects, and the different ways in which you can write and use your own objects.
Chapter 8 covers CodeIgniter classes to help with testing: Unit tests, Benchmarking, the 'profiler' and ways in which CodeIgniter helps you to involve your database in tests without scrambling live data.
Chapter 9 looks at using CodeIgniter's FTP class and email class to make communication easier, and then we venture into Web 2.0 territory using XML-RPC.
Chapter 10 talks about CodeIgniter classes that help in overcoming problems arising regularly when you are building a website, for example, the date helper, the text and inflector helpers, the language class, and the table class.
Chapter 11 looks at several useful CodeIgniter functions and helpers: file helper, download helper, file upload class, image manipulation class, and the ZIP class.
Chapter 12 covers exploring your config files, using diagnostic tools, and potential differences between servers, along with some notes on security.

Backed by a tireless development community, PHP has been a model of language evolution over its 10+ year history. Borne from a contract developer’s pet project, these days you’ll find PHP powering many of the world’s largest web sites, including Yahoo!, Digg, EA Games, and Lycos.

PHP Objects, Patterns, and Practice, Second Edition shows you how to meld the power of PHP with the sound enterprise development techniques embraced by professional programmers. Going well beyond the basics of object-oriented development, you’ll learn about advanced topics such as working with static methods and properties, abstract classes, interfaces, design patterns, exception handling, and more. You’ll also be exposed to key tools such as PEAR, CVS, Phing, and phpDocumentor.
