Summary: Absolute must for newbies
Comment: What more is there to say. I decided a year ago that I wanted to start a webdesign / web programming business, and quickly came across the need to understand PHP and MySQL. Right now, I feel confident enough to actually start building applications or using opensource scripts that I adapt myself.
Larry takes a clean and crisp approach to teaching you from scratch up to an adequate level. And the accompanying website is GREAT!!! The forum is frequented by other readers and the man himself, so if you ever got stuck you need not worry. Buy this book if you're serious about learning PHP and (in a lesser degree, but still quite useful) MySQL.

Summary: Excellent Book !!!
Comment: Of all the programming books in all of the different programming languages I've studied, this book is by far the best I have ever read. It is very well written and easy to follow.
Most computer books I've read either do not give enough detail (in an effort to 'keep it simple' I suppose) or give you every single nuance of the language making it very difficult to know how to get started. This book strikes just the right balance.

Summary: Fantastic book
Comment: Fantastic book
I would rate myself as having intermediate programming skills, but I was new to PHP. This book was great, it's good for an intermediate level and it's a no nonsense kind of book. Everything you learn how to do in this book is a practical application that if you are a web designer/developer you will most likely need to know at some point in time. The intro is short and sweet, and the author never goes on to long about one topic. Once a topic is learned it is used throughout the book. I have had the book for about 2 weeks now and I am almost done reading it and getting ready to apply some knowledge to my next project. The two chapters on SQL were also great, its like getting two books in one.
I can't recommend this book enough; it was so nice to get a book that actually teaches practical things at a fast pace. The layout shows a lot of repetitive code, but in some ways this is good since it only takes you a moment to glance at the code and recognize where the new code is, and how it applies to what you have already learned, as it is in red and the old code you have learned in early chapters is black. I like this because when books only show the new code you need to be in front of a computer to see how it all fits together, with this book you can just site on the couch and analyze the code as a whole.
Really good book, now I want to pick up his advanced PHP book by Larry Ullman.
