Description: This is an absolutely fabulous book for beginning PHP. If only they made books like this for every scripting language. The examples are simple, easy to understand and hell, they work! PHP is a pretty complex language but this book dives right into the core of what you need to know about CGI with PHP. Even if it doesn't explain the code in depth enough it at least allows the user to have a basic grasp of what the language is doing with line-by-line explainations. The section on mySQL is very complete and should allow the reader to take off running with mySQL, plus when you are done with the exercise, you have a web interface for mySQL that you can use indefinately. Any experienced perl programmer will be able to see the advantages of PHP just by thumbing the pages (me for example). The only reason I give it four stars is because of the annoying blue text - please tell me this was a mistake. The HUGE TEXT was a turn off as well, reads like a child's book. I'll take it though and I recome ..
