Summary: I highly recommend this book
Comment: If you ever read a book from Peachpit Press, then you know what the wonderful Visual QuickPro Guides are like. PHP Advanced Visual QuickPro Guide uses pictures rather than lengthy explanations. You'll be learning the more advanced features of PHP no time!" Larry Ullman's book on PHP is a great place to start when you are looking to advance your skills.
PHP is such a hot topic on the web now, that there are so many books out there on the subject, and so many of them make it more complicated then it really is. This book does a great job at teaching you the advanced use of PHP scripting. The author explains all the code that he has written, and goes through it in a language that anyone can understand.

Summary: Intermediate, a hard read, poor editing
Comment: A bunch of people are out there writing tons of PHP books, because it is such a "hot" web language. Do a quick Amazon search and you'll find lots of "advanced" adjectives in titles. This text is not advanced (no detailed session management, minimal security descrition). The description of classes (objects) is okay, but could use a more in-depth discussion of object data access, function overloading, etc.. (realizing PHP's objects are not "real" objects -- yet).
At a higher level, I find the Visual Quickpro format hard to read. They use a two-column newspaper style of typesetting that results in short sentances that I find hard to read. Everything is kind of "cramped-up". Also, some of the code examples show poor editing. For example; pgs 196 and 197 show two full pages of HTML OPTION values for months, days of month, years, etc.. Give me a break!, I don't need to see all this stupid HTML if I am writing advanced PHP!! Also related to editing, some of the web-page examples are half-page size to fit the two-column typesetting.

Summary: Good sequel to PHP: Visual QuickStart Guide
Comment: I have been impressed with the Peachpit Press books in general. The visual examples and logical organization makes it easy to use as a reference or to simply learn something new. PHP Advanced is the next logical step to the Visual QuickStart Guide, and I've already found myself referencing this book for more complex statements. I've been developing web sites for almost 8 years now and have had a taste of Cold Fusion, ASP, and PHP -- these PHP references make it easier for me to refresh my memory as to what statements I need to use to obtain the desired results in PHP.
