We are already linking to http://www.phpclasses.org/ so we won't add

That should not be a problem because you already have in that page 8 links to Zend.com, 2 links to CodeWalkers.com , 2 links to WeberDev.com, etc... Why would it be different in this case?

It was not Mehdi, nor me who added the eight links to zend.com for example. It used to be one, and one time Zeev decided to put up more links... I don't like this... I need not like it of course :)

I don't see a problem there as long as the links point to distinct types of resources in the site. Some of Zend.com links point to pages that sell their commercial products. As long as you allow competitors to list links to their links there, I do not see a problem. As a matter of fact everybody that provides resources to the PHP community has an equal chance.

What I am suggesting is not quite for you to add one more link to a site of mine, but rather to have a section to list resources about reviews of PHP books, not just to list my reviews site but also to list others that provide PHP book reviews. I think that would make that links page more useful to the PHP users that look for reviewed books and also help authors that spend a lot of time writing PHP books have their work more exposed.

I would say that this kind of links would better belong on the books.php page.

Yes, as I mentioned I agree that would be more appropriate. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html
