5 out of 5 stars If you have a job to get done - Buy this book   May 2, 2001

This book has been a life saver. Although its a big book, it doesn't contain fluff like some its size. With a variety of sample code to use as a base you will be up and running your site in no time. The index is complete, too.


5 out of 5 stars At last an excellent allround PHP book   April 29, 2001

When I ordered this book (for work, but soon I'll have my own J) I didn't know what to expect, but I must say that I'm impressed.

I feel that it is a mix between "PHP Developers cookbook" and "Professional PHP Programming". On top of that you get a basic introduction to the general programming theories. That alone is very positive!! Many other books give you just a simple example or two and you have to put that in to a greater context yourself.

My hat off for this great book.

This is the best book covering this subject I've read. It's really, really well written by people who knows what use to be the most difficult parts. They must be teachers and experts - at the top of both lists! It gave me understanding of this subject and helped me a lot in my own teaching.

You never know what your really going to get when you buy a book online but I am totally happy with this purchase. This book offers real world examples and full source code for many of the PHP/MySQL projects developers tackle on a day to day basis. Details can be found on: Image generation, cookies, user authentication, shopping carts, content management, mailing-lists, PDF document generation and a lot of detail on how to set up and install both PHP and MySQL on your server. The authors do not only show you the code but explain what's happening so that you can customize the scripts for your own use and they do this very well. This book is aimed at intermediate web developers who are familiar with HTML, some type of programming (ASP, Perl), but you certainly do not have to be an expert programmer to understand what's going on. All and all-the best web programming book I've bought, period.

This was the first book I ever bought on PHP/mySQL. Usally you can find a good book on PHP or mySQL, but never both. Well, this is great AND it has both. I don't think I would be where I am today programming PHP if it wasnt for this book.

Easy to follow and with great examples. I keep it by my side all the time!
