Customer Review: With very little previous web programming experience (though I have recent experience with PL/SQL), I started using PHP 1 year ago.

Customer Review: This dreadful book is so far below O'Reilly's normal high standard that it's hard to believe anyone at the company saw it before publication. It is riddled from start to finish with typos, technical errors, bad coding practices, contradictions and statements that are just plain wrong. It's quite... more info
Customer Review: The samples are so clean clear that makes PHP easy to follow, if you are new to PHP this a must have after reading any beginners PHP book
Customer Review: I'm sorry, but after going through just the first couple chapters in Book II, I've already encountered many mistakes in the reading.
