 Terrific Learning Tool
With very little previous web programming experience (though I have recent experience with PL/SQL), I started using PHP 1 year ago. I've read several PHP/MySQL books during the past year, but this one is the best. As others have noted, it may not be for the pure beginner, but at my level it's perfect. It helps me better understand concepts (session usage) that I was justing using by rote before. It reminds me of things I should return to in my code (like authentication) that I may have been sloppy with. And it's pretty easy to read. If you got tired of waiting for this edition to finally be published, you might want to check it out now.
 Classic book on good programming practice
I recently read this book and it took me a short time to get into the wave of the author. It narrates in a natural way an ample range of details that were easy to catch. As a security practitioner I find this book very clear, so it took me through the basics of PHP and MySQL, and finally it took me to very strong fundamentals to develop rich programming applications with security in mind, from the beginning.
Of course, this book is read better with very good programming skills, so you can focus more on important tips through the book.
Excellent - long time arrival
Amazingly I've been waiting for the 4th Edition since 07/2007 - then 11/2007 then summer 2008 finally it arrived fall 2008!
When it arrived I bought it quickly. A great book that perhaps is a bit advanced for beginners - be careful if you are just starting out with MySQL and PHP - this book may not be quite for you.
Great book!
I bought the 4th Edition, and it was exactly what I expected for a PHP & Mysql book. It comes separated in 5 parts: PHP course, Mysql course, E-Commerce & Security, Advanced Techniques, Building Practical Projetcs.
The First two parts are a simple "crash course" for each technology. So you can step in the next chapters with the base.
What I liked most is that it comes with very practical examples, and also the source code comes in the CD. This way you do not need to type everything. Also it comes with the software needed to install on your PC and start learning PHP =).
PROMISED HARDCOVER; GOT PAPERBACK...!
The book is excellent, but the only problem is that when I ordered, the description read "Hardcover," but I got "Paperback" instead . . . disappointing. . . .
