Re: Good PHP Books

There's Programming PHP by Rasmus Lerdorf and Kevin Tatroe (O'Reilly). It's the only one I have, and have been satisified with it. I was already a year or so into php when I got it, and use it mainly as a reference, so I don't know how good it is for beginners. Mark McCulligh wrote:

Hi Other PHP Users, I have been asked to teach an introduction course on PHP/MySQL at my local College. I am looking for a good beginner book for the course. Like most people I learned PHP from php.net and online tutorials. But I need a book for the course. I am looking for a book that is not too long also. Around 500-600 pages would be great. I can't give my students 150 pages every night to read, for books like "PHP and MySQL Web Development" by Luke Welling, Laura Thomson even know they are great they are just to long. It is only a 35 hour course for only can cover the basics. Plus something that covers version 4.2 or greater. I don't want to teach them old syntax. If anyone knows for a good beginner book, please let me know, thanks. Mark.
