Solid coverage of beginning topics
. I used this book as a tutorial on the subject with graduate students who had only basic programming experience and we all agreed that it was a great way to get started with database-backed PHP work.

Not Worth One Star
To many typo's and script errors which did not work!

Actually I would give the book a 5 star rating if they changed the name to Trouble Shooting Script Errors, Test Your Skills!. Worst book of all time, sorry guys and gals but whoever wrote and edited this book should buy a book themselves "Learn to Write and Edit by DUMMIES".

Great beginner's book
It covers everything you will need to start out and it's written very well - very easy to understand. This is a great book for beginners. The appendeces at the end are also wonderful, they cover php functions, mysql data types, etc. Also very helpful is the fact that you can access help forums that are specific to this book as well as downloadable files for every project in the book.
I have several other php books and this is by far the best: the easiest to understand, the most comprehensive.
