RE: [PHP] Recommended PHP Books?

well, I got all I know from scratch starting this may.. (PHP 4 went out then), I had NO programming experience whatsoever all I was : Web Director and "Web Usability Guru" ... PHP itself is easy and to become a programmer (any, not PHP only) is enough to love mathematics, algebra and computers and have lot's of time and patience. (that's how I see it). a little bit of talent would always be good. No books are necessary for a start. However to go onto an advanced level then yes: you'll need to do some studies.

A good book >for this is "Professional PHP Programming" YES! That's my favorite "intermediate/advanced" book for PHP. But the best "total beginner" PHP book, by far is: The PHP4 Bible - by Tim Converse and Joyce Park http://www1.fatbrain.com/asp/bookinfo/bookinfo.asp?theisbn=076454716X It will walk your co-workers through easy-but-deep tutorials about every aspect of PHP, including many less-documented things like PHP4 Sessions. (... and believe me - I've read ALL the PHP books out there.
