    Very good introduction to PHP although it doesnt include some of the obvious basics you might want to use.

    Note: It covers PHP 5 - and most hosting online is still running PHP 4 (as of June 06) - so you will have to adapt areas of your code quite considerably to run on the older version.

    On the whole a good book with good example code - best used in tandom with online resources such as php.net

    I bought this to learn from scratch PHP. It's an excellent book and has brillient examples. I had a working web site up and running within a week including security and personalisation options.

    If you want a PHP based web site and have just a bit of HTML knowledge then you'll not get a better book then this to help you.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2009
    This book is very good and comes with a handy cd with a pdf document on for handy references on the computer or if you dont want to lug the book around (it is quite heavy).

    While its probably not for the absolute beginner, it helps if you have some understanding of the web (like html and css) and perhaps (but not vital) some php and/or programming experience to get the most out of the book.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible - Hasn't Helped Me Once
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 January 2009
    Verified Purchase
    I got this book a couple years ago as I needed to start making my static website more manageable with SQL and PHP. Since then I've slowly been making progress but absolutely no thanks to this useless book. I genuinely have not found anything of help in here and have instead browsed the net to find snippets of code to help me. Everytime I come across another problem I see if there's anything in this book to help out but not once have I found what seem to be simple, basic issues covered.

    Having originally learnt html from a book I'd hoped that php would be similar but have been sorely disappointed. This review is my only 1 star review still on Amazon because I normally find something positive but not here. Terrible.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction to PHP and MySQL
    Reviewed in the United States on 17 August 2005
    Verified Purchase
    Before reading this book I had an abundance of programming experience in C/C++ but none with HTML or programming a dynamic website. This book allowed me to quickly realize that there is not much difference between traditional programming and server-side web programming. True, one has to know a little something about html to present input and output, start a session, keep track of session and form variables, and interact with a database, but aside from this the programming is much the same: variables, loops, control statements, functions, and objects. And may be the strength of this book is that Welling's and Thomson's presentation makes this very clear. The presentation is no more difficult than it needs to be to get a web application up and running, whether it is a simple on-line survey, or an industrial strength e-commerce site. I was almost alarmed at how easy it seemed to zip through the chapters, or skim through later chapters finding the right tidbits of helpful information.

    I found the chapters on MySQL very good, although I did supplement them with Parts I and II "The Relational Model of Data" from Christopher Date's "Introduction to Database Systems", as I wanted to have a slightly more advanced perspective on SQL database querying and a better understanding of what comprises a database system.

    Finally, I should note that a benefit of using MySQL and PHP is that both tools have very good online reference manuals that will answer questions about advanced syntax and use that is omitted from this book (although I must say that this book covers a significant amount of both manuals, and places them well within the context of actual website development).

    I couldn't have asked for a better book.

    Voila un livre d'informatique comme on aimerait en voir plus souvent: clair, précis, exhaustif sans être une masse informe, abondamment illustré, bourré d'exemples didactiques et de niveau progressif.
    Developpeur de sites depuis plus de 6 ans, donc largement expérimenté tant d'un pt de vue technique que gestion de projet, je ne pensais pas pouvoir trouver un livre sur PHP/MySQL qui me satisfasse à ce point.
    Un grand bravo aux auteur.

    ... but i've gone through the php crash course (the first part of the book). I have a html/javascript/css background so I could understand and digest most of it. The only thing that turned me off was how it got into describing all exceptions/additions and various obscure details that only served to complicate my mind. You know when you're a beginner? you don't neccisarily know how to filter out the crap that doesn't have any immeadiate utility. Personally I learn from lots of practice and actually writing code over and over. There wasn't enough of that - maybe i need to get deeper into the book. Lynda.com is really great: they give you a bit of information, always followed by you actually writing or tring it out yourself.
