 Hands down one of the best PHP books for newbies
This is easily the best book I've found on PHP for beginners. It's not the only book I'm using, but boy am I glad I started here. I have several years of experience with HTML, CSS, and ASP, and have recently decided to learn PHP/MySQL. If you have some background in web design, and want to learn PHP, David Powers is your man. Keep writing David!
 PHP Solutions
This book is easy to read and easy to follow. The only downside is there are now review questions or tests at the end of the chapter to test yourself on what you've read.
 php Solutions
I purchesed this book hoping it would give good examples. NOT!!! Just another book for people who already know what they are doing. Now this is my opinion and this book did nothing to help explain the INCLUDE function or how to handle directories in php which is the help I was looking for.
Start using the PHP examples straight away
I decided I wanted to add PHP to my website to make it more dynamic and reduce maintenance. But I didn't know any PHP. So I picked up PHP Solutions and within an hour or two of opening the front cover, I had converted my website to PHP and added several dynamic features that were demonstrated in the book!
This book is brilliant. It provides a good background and understanding of PHP and the examples are easy to follow and apply straight away. It also shows you how to keep your code safe and avoid ugly error messages.
 Hard To Follow But Very Useful
This is my first book on learning PHP, so maybe that's why it was difficult for me, but I would often give up on something, then search the web or other books for a tutorial, only to find that the answers were in this book all along.
I wanted to create an image gallery using php, and found a halfway decent tutorial on the net, but didn't realize that this book actually covers image galleries.
Some nice tutorials in this book revolve around,
- blogs
- event lists
- user registrations
- file uploads
- image galleries
- and a bunch of other stuff.
If your learning PHP this is a good book to buy, even if you don't understand everything, you can bounce around to different books or online tutorials, then refer back to this book and maybe it'll make more sense.
