5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 11 Sep 2005
The Amazon synopsis of this book is way off, seems to be describing a different book. Anyway - How to do Everything with PHP & MySQL is a perfect starting point for learning these technologies. Every paragraph introduces a new concept, but you never get the feeling of being left behind (though the book does assume some basic HTML knowledge). Each chapter concludes with a list of online resources where you can learn more detail about the topics covered. This is one of the most easy to read and instructive programming books I've ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful!, 26 April 2006
By S. Brewster - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm a beginner at PHP, and have found this book very useful. while it's not comprehensive, the author does an excellent job of explaining how things work and why.

I have been using this book in conjunction with the php.net website, and while some prior knowledge of html is assumed, this book is ideal for people that have not used PHP before :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars A great place to start PHP and Mysql, 10 Sep 2007
By M. J. Parsons (Wiltshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I spent some time looking at books before I selected this one - I am glad I took the time. It is well worth while. It's a very well put together book. From installing php and mysql it examines first PHP and the Mysql and then the two working together. It doesn't really have tutorials but there are loads of really useful code examples. At the end it demonstrates the build of a news publishing system. Every chapter has a load of great websites for more information.

This is a very good intro book. It is not really a very useful once your up and running needing a good reference.

Downside - I found the set-up lacked something. I didn't bother with Apache as I already have IIS and it would have been good to have an ISS set-up, but its not hard to find on the web. Also its a bit Unix based - sorry but I use .... what's it called again?? - oh yes 'windows' or something! I think most people buying this book will be using windows and if you use windows this is still the book for you.

However the book does not deserve less than a 5.
