Customer comments on this selection.
 Great semi-advanced updated book.
It is pretty good. Especially for the people who worked a little bit on php but not an expert yet. (That is me.)
Good book for programmers
This book is a good reference for people who already have a fair amount of programming knowledge. You don't need to necessarily know PHP since it's pretty similar to all the other languages out there. You should however have an idea of how a data driven website works.
There's a reason its O'Rielly
O'Rielly is a name I trust, and often look to for technical manuals. Their cookbooks and pocket guides are particularly sweet.
I am constantly pulling this book for snippets of code. Converting dates all around, array manipulation all the mundane but oh-so-common choirs.
I have already added an extensive collections of methods and classes based on the book's code. With my newly found admiration of Object-Oriented design and development I am able to reuse the code I create once again and again.
If you are new to Object Oriented coding, check out
Object-Oriented PHP: Concepts, Techniques, and Code
Together you can build powerful classes of date or array methods to handle anything you'll come across, and anything new only makes them better!
Great way to improve your PHP!
Each recipe states a Problem, gives a Solution, adds Discussion to help you understand the "why" behind the "what", and tosses in a "See Also" section if you need more info. There are 26 chapters of problem-solving recipes that will not only get you over the current hurdle but provide for learning in quick bits. Take a couple minutes, try something that interests you, and add it to your toolbox.
Awesome book!
 Good for intermediate developer
This book is not for someone who doesn't know programming. If you haven't coded at all in your life and don't basic PHP syntax you need a different book.
It also isn't a full solution for your site. You can't by this book and expect it to provide a complete solution for your programming needs.
What is it. It is a collection of discrete coding examples of how to program. It's not a book of syntax. It is a book of techniques that you can learn and then use as needed on your own projects.
I haven't read this book from end to end but when I recently had my first XML project it was useful to learn my different options on how to approach the project. Next I will be working on improving security. Again it has good examples that I can use and MODIFY for my own needs.
