Most Helpful Customer Reviews   25 of 26 people found the following review helpful: Excellent book! Brilliant author., 28 Jan 2005 By  "nwmicro" - See all my reviews I knew absolutely nothing about php5 or php and now i find it easy. this book helped so much. from the start it thoroughly explains how to setup your computer for testing your code. the book then follows and gradually introduces the reader to more advanced details. i had bought a different php5 book but got completely lost and fustrated with it, i was nearly put off php5 but then after using this book php5 is a dream to work with.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I feel it gets into too much detail too soon and is overwhelming for someone just starting out. That said, such is the depth of coverage, I can see this becoming a fantastic 'bible' or reference book for those that have nailed the basics - which is why I still give it four stars.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I found this book really difficult to read and not good if you are a total beginner. I would recommend another book if you know nothing at all about web design and programming as some terms will be difficult to understand.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
