What protocol is used for the fontend/backend communication? SOAP?

Some books I found helpful are

"Better, Faster, Lighter Java" by Bruce Tate, ISBN: 0596006764
"Beyond Java" by Bruce Tate, ISBN: 0596100949
"Upgrading to PHP5" by Adam Trachtenberg, ISBN 0596006365
"PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice" by Matt Zandstra, ISBN: 1590593804
"Advanced PHP Programming" by George Schlossnagle, ISBN: B0009EK8A4

I am not sure if this is anywhere near what you are looking for ;)

I really like Java for my bigger projects with Hibernate as ORM-tool. I am
also very satisfied with PHP5. The only thing I really miss with PHP5 is a
good debugger which slows down development considerably.

Soory but I have no idea. The only thing I can say is that I used MySQL
versions 3.x and 4.x for years without any problem :)
