PHP is installed on nearly nine million servers, and usage has grown at the rate of 6.5 percent per month for the past two years
PHP is easy to learn, well suited for Web development, and can be embedded with HTML, making it a good choice for creating dynamic Web pages for e–commerce sites and other Web applications; a database–friendly language, it connects easily to Sybase, MySQL, mSQL, Oracle, and other databases
Explains how to acquire and install PHP, how PHP′s features make it a useful scripting language, and how to use PHP for three of the most common applications: interactive Web sites, database storage, and common operating system tasks

From the Back Cover

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, some errors, 15 Jan 2010

By	M. Otten (France) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: PHP 5 for Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)

Very easy to read, everything clearly explained in every little detail. But there are some errors that are unacceptable in a book about programming. For example page 81:
"(about double and single quotes) The following two statements are the same:
$string = _Hello World!_;
$string = _Hello World!_;"

This should have been:
$string = 'Hello World!';
$string = "Hello World!";

They could have asked someone to test read the book before actually printing it. Also, this print isn't the first print so I wonder after how many prints a book from the "for dummies" series can be considered free or errors.
