I haven't start this thread. So be carefull. I have Leons second edition and you can buy another book at Markt+Technik. The PHP manual is for free use. Use that if you are not comfortable with Leons book. It is not very good to judge some books on this list. I know some authors who contribute to the PHP manual and write own books. -Egon -- LinuxTag, Stuttgart, Germany: July 5-8 2001: http://www.linuxtag.de/ All known books about PHP and related books: http://php.net/books.php Concert Band of the University of Hohenheim: http://www.concert-band.de/ First and second bestselling book in German: http://www.php-buch.de/
