PHP 6 does not exist yet, and no hosting companies provide it as an option, so describing existing versions of PHP as "not-feature-complete" is a bit premature. As the book is simply an update to his original version which was published in 2003, and again in 2005, it is about using PHP and MySQL to build a dynamic web site, and as such every version is still perfectly valid and useful to the novice programmer. This not a book which is supposed to describe every possible feature within the PHP language as it is not necessary to use every possible feature in order to build a dynamic website. -- Tony Marston http://www.tonymarston.net http://www.radicore.org
