I've hand-coded HTML since 1995, but this is my first real language. Julie Meloni's "PHP Essentials" got me up and running so I could complete two sites with MySQL database connection. Folks from this list and Leon Atkinson's "Core PHP Programming" are getting me through the next site, which is strictly PHP/HTML and tracks 350+ variables over 8 (4 in, 4 out) pages. After a 15 minute study between the two at a book store, I preferred this book over "Professional PHP Programming" because of the many examples cited in the book (and listings on the CD) and the author's easy style. I have only 700 more pages to go, too! ;) - Larry Jaques, President 1.760.941.8868 DIVERSIFY!
