Hey, I just taught myself php from the on-line docs at
http://www.php.net/docs.php
and some good sample source. I'm thinking I'd focus less on the book and
more on choosing good samples.
I personally like O'Reilly books in general. But I haven't seen their
PHP offerings, so I'll refrain from actually recommending anything there.
