Looking for suggestions for a PHP textbook for an "Intro to Web
Programming" class that will be using PHP5 and MySQL. This is a
first-semester course, so no programming experience required.
It would be nice to have a text that adhered to (what I see as) good
practice using quotation marks... i.e.
print 'The cost is ' . $cost;
NOT
print "The cost is $cost";
AND CERTAINLY NOT
print ("The cost is $cost");
echo substr('abcdef', 1);
NOT
echo substr("abcdef", 1);
I will be teaching, so a book that a student can-- before the class--
work through and understand is good-- doesn't have to be a traditional
textbook! But it shouldn't be a reference manual either.
