RE: [PHP] Books on PHP

PHP and MySQL Web Development is a great book, and provides a good resource for both PHP and MySQL in one text. However, I think its sections on actually learning PHP are a bit on the short side, assuming more knowledge and self-motivation than a lot of people (ok, beginning students) might have. I highly recommend it, but I would add to it the PHP Bible (which you already have) and, if that isn't enough, the PHP books from Wrox. PHP4: A Beginner's Guide is actually pretty good and might have been (had I received it in time) the best choice for a class text, since it is structured and written that way. You really can't go wrong with any of those books, a good project to keep yourself interested, and a local copy of the documentation. c -- Chris Lott http://www.chrislott.org/
