PHP 7 Programming Cookbook is a hands-on PHP 7 technical book by the veteran American software developer Doug Bierer, translated into Chinese by Su Baolong. The Chinese edition was published by Publishing House of Electronics Industry in 2017; the original is PHP 7 Programming Cookbook, with simplified Chinese rights granted by Packt Publishing. The book has 13 chapters plus an appendix and is organized as practical recipes in a problem–solution–discussion format, moving by topic from setting up an environment all the way to engineering practice. Chapter 1 covers installation and configuration notes for PHP 7, the built-in web server, a MySQL database for testing, installing PHPUnit and class autoloading, and completes a website scanner and a PHP 5 to PHP 7 code converter. Chapter 2 explains abstract syntax trees, parsing and foreach handling differences, performance enhancements, traversing large files, importing spreadsheets into a database and a recursive directory iterator. Chapters 3 and 4 cover functional programming (type hints, return type declarations, iterators and generators) and object-oriented programming (inheritance, static members, namespaces, visibility, interfaces, traits, anonymous classes). Chapters 5 to 7 focus on database interaction (PDO, an OOP-style SQL builder, pagination, entity mapping, secondary queries, jQuery DataTables queries), a form-element generator and form factory for scalable websites, $_POST filtering and validation, and XML conversion, REST and SOAP clients and servers. Chapters 8 to 10 discuss date/time and internationalization (handling emoji, character conversion, locale detection, number and currency formatting, internationalized calendars and recurring events, non-gettext translation), middleware (validation, access control, caching, routing, cross-framework and cross-language calls) and advanced algorithms (linked lists, bubble sort, stacks, binary search, search engines, multidimensional array aggregation). Chapters 11 to 13 move into engineering: design patterns such as hydrators, the strategy pattern, mappers, object-relational mapping and publish/subscribe; $_POST data filtering and validation, session protection, tokens and CAPTCHAs, a password generator, and encryption/decryption without mcrypt; best practices, exceptions and error handling, unit tests and test suites, mock data generation and custom session parameters. The appendix implements PSR-7 value objects, request classes and response classes in detail.
很多 PHP 7 入门书停留在语法罗列，这本书胜在“配方式”实战：13 章全部围绕可运行的任务展开，从安装环境、PHPUnit 与自动加载起步，一步步写到中间件、PSR-7、加密与单元测试。作者 Doug Bierer 有三十余年开发经验，书中示例既有工具性（网站扫描器、代码转换器、SQL 生成器、表单工厂、数据水合器），也有方法论（策略模式、映射器、发布/订阅、对象关联映射），读者照着做就能把碎片知识串成完整工程能力。第 8 章的国际化日历与循环事件、第 9 章的跨框架跨语言中间件、第 12 章的验证码与不依赖 mcrypt 的加密解密，在同类书中并不常见，对维护老项目、准备迁移到现代 PHP 框架的开发者尤其有参考价值。需要提醒的是，书中部分 API（如 mcrypt 扩展、旧版 PSR 实现路径）在今天已发生变化，阅读时应结合当前 PHP 版本官方文档对照，把重点放在设计思路而非逐字照抄代码上。整体而言，这是一本适合当作“案头工具书＋进阶路线图”反复翻查的中高级读物。
