PHP isn't the easiest of languages to learn, no matter what anyone tells you. I was looking for an organised introduction to it that would explain everything gently and in laymens terms, but still give me the ability to start building php websites by the end. That's exactly what this book did, and I absolutely love it. In fact, I've read mine about 4 times now, and the pages are starting to fall out, so I may even need to get myself another copy soon. This is a really good book for fledgling php developers.

I resisted learning PHP for a long time. I stuck solidly to HTML and CSS when building my own webpages, though I did use third-party PHP-based software on my site. One of the scripts was very buggy and not very secure, so I was convinced that not only was PHP hard to learn, it was fully of security holes. I've since revised my opinion.
Before I bought this book, I bought a couple of other books, but they were not as easy to follow as this one. This book is geared towards people who have little or no experience of programming. (You should be familiar with HTML and CSS. I would not attempt to use this book if you don't have a handle on those.) The scripts are very practical and useful, and I can see myself using them on my site in the future. I highly recommend it.
The reason I gave this book four stars, and not five, is that the section at the end about regular expressions isn't really that useful. He does not cover PCRE; POSIX is deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0. (Current version is 5.3.3) I was really disappointed with that, as it's hard to find good tutorials online.

This book is very helpful to anyone who wants a quick way into php, I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to programme in php. If you know another language, you'd probably finish in a couple of weeks as it does not go into deep details, it only teaches you what you need to build applications
