Summary: Train gives it 5 stars...
Comment: This book was great!!! I have struggled for a while now to find a PHP book with such easy understanding of what you are actually doing. I bought the book and went to the authors website to download the small amount of error that have been corrected and went on my way. One of the great things about this book is that there code sniplets are right. In many books I have read about PHP code sniplets have had errors and wouldn't run. This book also provides great information about MySQL. From backups to access, it is presented with great knowledge. I highly recommend this book also to anyone who wants to understand Content Management. It is has two great changes on CMS.

Summary: Second edition
Comment: I recently purchased this book from sitepoint after people ranted and raved about how good it was. I can honestly say, that it is not that spectacular. There are far more other books on the subject of PHP that teach the same thing that are MUCH better than this.
Sometimes when you are complete NOVICE you need a book that will "hold your hand" along the way, this book does not do that it assumes you have an idea of it already.
My suggestion, is dont bother.. Look for something else instead

Summary: Note that reviews below canNOT reflect SECOND edition
Comment: Just a "heads-up": Hopefully you are looking at the Amz site for the SECOND edition, said to have come out March 2003, ISBN 0-957-92181-0. In that case there may have been significant enhancements to cover some objections mentioned below (which, by their dates must refer to first edition). I've not been able to find in a book store to evaluate it (hoping SOMEBODY out there will), but the SitePoint site says about this edition:
*Fully updated for PHP 4.3
*Installation instructions for Mac OS X
* Full index provided
* New WIDER book size
* Enhanced fonts
* Lay-flat spine
* All content revisited.
Note also that at the publisher's site you can DL the First 4 chapters free - which, I guess, will need to be my next stopping point if none of you can find a physical copy to review either.
