Re: retiring the books section for good?

Yes, I think we can remove it. Finding interesting books is quite easy these days, so there's no need for this page. But there is something that needs to be taken in account: the money generated with Amazon links. I don't know if that's much money or if PHP.net needs such money (well this year, it will receive much money from Google). So I vote to remove that section, but provided that the condition above is met. Nuno

Hi, We have a books section on php.net. Not many of our users know this though, since it is not too prominent. Some of the publishers now that however, and periodically send in new books to add. Some of the good publishers don't care. Nowadays the books section is partly outdated and mostly a subjective selection of those books we had time to add and got direct information about. Since despite new book suggestions coming in, noone really cares to update the books page, I would suggest to retire it, as the scripts collection was retired way back, after all the script collection sites popped up. Opinions? Regards, Gabor
