RE: [PHP] Want a Good Book for Ref on PHP

You know, I was wondering the same thing. My situation is the same. My opinion is that the professional version probably strips out most of the beginner's content and adds more advanced php content and dives into everything in more detail rather than just trying to get a beginner off their feet by providing simple tasks Wrox is a great company, they come out with books that are the most comprehensive. Both versions might be a good investment for hardcore php programmers. Best thing to do is to just stop by a barnes and nobles bookstore and start looking through both books to see which one is best for you.

However from what I saw in the book shop they cover lots of the same ground. I (and my employer) wouldn't like to pay for the same stuff again. Is there a significant difference between the two?
