Summary: Good thorough intro to PHP and MySQL
Comment: Well done, maybe 5 stars. Has all the intro and intermediate info you need. Includes some best practices and programming concepts which I didn't want, so perhaps tries to include too much. But I'm being too picky. This book has everything one needs to get going with this technology and is thoughtfully presented. definitely recommended.

Summary: Love it! Highly recommended!
Comment: I bought the first edition of this book several years ago and it has been my bible ever since. It makes everything amazingly easy to learn. I didn't even have to sit down and do a read-through. I just skimmed it to start out, sat down in front of the 'puter, and flipped through the book to figure out how to code each part of my first PHP-MySQL site. It was almost too easy. I have created about a dozen database driven sites since, and I always pull the book out for a quick refresher before I start coding. I wish there were books this great for learning all web technologies.

Summary: The one to have
Comment: There is a bunch of books related to PHP and/or Mysql.
I bought 4, one about Mysql only, one for PHP only and 2 about Mysql+PHP.
Surprisingly, this one is the best - even better than the dedicated ones.
The author starts by introducing PHP, follows Mysql, then elaborates on making projects with examples, guide to build Php+Mysql projects and use of advanced features.
Just start from page one and follow the explanations, examples and advices - you are a php+mysql programmer in no time.

Summary: Great book to start learning PHP and MySQL
Comment: This was first book for me to learn PHP and MySQL. I have known C,Java,Perl and Informix database earlier so it took me little effort to understand the syntax of PHP and MySQL. I was glad to know many things new including both are open source, highly demanding, flexible in terms of good parts of Java, C and Perl. Installation and starting work on was very easy.
This book gave me lots of pointers on how to work on things at project level rather than little snippets. Towards the end it really gets better.

Summary: PHP and MySQL Web Dev is better than average
Comment: Not a bad book. It covers a little more that the basics but doesn't get real deep, and for my needs that was good. I wanted to find several books I could give to my entry-level programmers that would provide them with an extra reference. All in all it was a good addition to our class library.
