Basically if your HTML is good and you have a grounding in SQL you will find this book easy to get to grips with. In less than a week I had written a fully functioning bulletin board system using PHP and MySQL. Could have done with a CD though. That's my only serious criticism.
Once you have read this you will have a beginner to intermediate knowledge of the language, from there you can either teach yourself furthur techniques or go on to a more advanced book.
Overall this is a great starting PHP book, it will take longer than 24 hours however.
However for me the best reason for buying this book was the fantastic last two chapters. These chapters cover setting up a complete web portal/community based site which allows users to login, modify their details/profile, add events to their pages and more. This was the basis on which I built a website and stood me in good stead for the job.
As a previous reviewer mentioned, the source code does not come with the book which means a lot of typing (the last two 'hours' took more like 8 hours to type up, and I don't type that slow either;\). On the contrary though, this can be good in that it forces you to debug your code as you go along, helping you understand better why errors occur when a script is executed.
All in all a definite recommendation for beginners (and even intermediate/advanced readers, if only for the example site in the last 2 hours).
It steps you through PHP 1 hour at a time. Read more
