Excellent Book5
I own several PHP/Mysql reference books, and this one is the most comprehensive of all of them. Just the right balance and written descriptions/explanations and practical applications/examples. I wouldn't necessarily say this book is for beginners, but anyone that's a novice to professional would love this book. I highly recommend the 3rd addition for any PHP/MySQL developer that is looking for a great reference.
This book is a reference manual at best...1
If you are new to PHP, DO NOT buy this book. I can't believe all the good reviews here. There are no practical examples, and very little useful information. It is, at best, a reference manual. If you're new to PHP, check out David Powers' books.
Just a reference book3
Hello there,
I begin learning PHP in 2003. I havn't progressed much since then. I learned the basics of PHP from "PHP and MySQL Web Development" by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson. I know how to interact with the database, create sessions, I can even go furder if I'm interested and I read some tutorials over the internet, however I wanted to have a book that I can read in bed.
So I took this book based on reviews and because it also covers a bit of PHP6 All I wanted is to remind me on some stuff I read some time ago and learn some new things, tactics I could use.
So I started to read. I rememberd some old stuff about Arrays, Strings. I still can't get OOP but I havn't tried to much. Now I will defenetly use PEAR because the examples in the book weare helpful, HOWEVER...
As other people say, this book is more as a reference book. I didn't got so much information. I'm on chapter 21. I will soon start to read about MySQL and I can't really say I have learned something. Yes, I know some things but still, this isn't good for a beginner.
The book "PHP and MySQL Web Development" starts MySQL in chapter 2. This means you start from the begining on actualy doing someting useful. Here you just read chapters after chapters but you don't actualy have good examples. Yes, you have examples and how to use some functions but no big examples.
I first got my disapointment when I was on SESSION HADLING chapter where I really wanted to see some COOKIE examples. All I found was some COOKIE FUNCTIONS and some explinations that I could have got from PHP Manual. From PHP Manual I could have even found some examples, here nothign. Then I found some simple details about $_SESSION. TO little covered in this important chapter.
Then I finally got it. All this book does it present to you some functions. Explain them. You see a small example and you move on.
No actualy practice! I really wanted a BIG BOOK from where I can learn more stuff.
