The source code for the book is at the book's website. I have downloaded it easily without registration.
This book is great, if you are confortable with PHP already as it's an Advanced book. Among other topics, I liked, Perl Compartible Regular Expressions which are explained so well that you will be able to write complex patterns to validate staff with or for general pattern matching. Advanced Arrays is another peak. You will find deeply nested arrays being manipulated by Recursive Functions. If you like OOP, then you will find two detailed chapters on
Object Orinted Programming.
UPDATE:
There is a chapter on AJAX. The chapter has full fledged AJAX Application. The last chapter explains how to parse XML documents with PHP. There is a very brief explanation on how to create XML documents but that is not exhaustive. I think the useful parts are the parsing of XML using PHP and creating RSS Feeds as it's a practical example with code and screen shots that shows how the whole thing is rendered in a browser.

Another excellent book by Larry Ullman
16 July 2007
Format:Paperback
I've been reading Larry's books since back in the early days when php/mysql books were barely found. I have to credit Larry's books with helping me just get started learning about php & mysql, and even helping me with most of what I learn today. I've purchased every new version of his books and pick up new things every time. It's so easy to step along with the examples, to help provide a solid understanding, and to give a fresh reassurance of what I may have already known... plus I always learn new tricks and techniques. I guess that's why I keep getting his books. This book especially helped me with a few tricks just at the right time, right when I needed help with them. I have over twenty-five php books and his are all in the top of my favorites and most referenced to.

Solid
23 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback
While not quite as good as its predecessor (PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Websites 2nd edition) in terms of readability and ease of understanding, Larry Ullman is still, with this book, miles in front of pretty much any other technical author I have read. The chapters on object oriented programming are certainly the best I have come across on the subject.
There is also a quick but useful demo of how to put a bit of AJAX in to a PHP site to increase usability.
The one thing missing from this book that I personally would like to have seen, would be an introduction to frameworks.
But let me stress this point: Larry Ullman is the best technical author, by a long, long way, on any subject I have ever read about in my life. I just wish he was an expert and wrote books on all the other things I want to learn about - that's how good his teaching ability is.

Advanced but not unlearnable
6 May 2008
Format:Paperback
This book is a great continuation of the PHP5 Visual Quickstart Guide by the same company "Peachpit press). They stay with the same learning style that they have in the other books (visual and doing) but go into more advanced operations.
