There has always been the necessity to have a definitive guide on PHP?Nuke. This tutorial describes the installation and structure of PHP?Nuke and the details of customizing the front end to suit the users' needs. The architecture of PHP?Nuke, with its modules, blocks, topics and themes is presented in detail, as well as the interplay of PHP and MySQL for the creation of a mighty content management system (CMS).It also delves into more advanced issues, like the programming of PHP?Nuke blocks and modules.

This book is born as a "thank you" to all the users who visit spaghettibrain. There has always been the necessity to have a definitive guide on PHP?Nuke, possibly in Italian language. Due to time constraints, nobody has ever had the will to carry out this operation.
