Customer Rating:      Summary: Great book Comment: This is my second php book, and i was looking for something with a lot of examples, and good MYSQL documentation. This book has it all. I would suggest this book to anyone who knows, or is learning PHP and MySQL. The best PHP book that i own by far.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A book that matches it's cover! Comment: I'm a web application developer who is new to PHP. Chapter 1, "PHP Crash Course" laid a great foundation. After reading Chapter 2, I was able to do many of my normal tasks using PHP. Easy to read and follow for someone who has experience programming web functionality in any language. This book concentrates on the information needed to deploy practically any web functionality using PHP and MySQL.I bought this book based on the other reviews. They were right!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent, in-depth coverage of PHP & MySQL Comment: This book, in conjunction with "Sam's Teach Yourself PHP4 In 24 Hours," taught me everything I know about PHP and MySQL. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to get my PHP-based website off the ground.However, I feel that, if I hadn't also ordered "...PHP4 In 24 Hours," I would've felt pretty confused; this book is definitely best used by people who already have some basic knowledge of PHP.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent book on PHP and MySQL - 6 stars! Comment: I needed to quickly create an advanced, dynamic database driven website for work.This book was an excellent starting point, taking the reader who knows nothing about PHP to being able to create medium to advanced scripts in a minimum of time. The included advanced tutorials are invaluable. It would be unfair to not mention that it also includes a very good reference on MySQL, from configuring it to using it. If you need to learn PHP/MySQL get this book and a copy of the reference manual from php.net I would give it 6 stars if I could.

FIVE STARS !!! ++++++++++++++++
