 Awful lot of waffle and poor page layout August 29, 2008
A. Cresswell (West Midlands, UK)
I bought this book at the same time as PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide (Visual QuickPro Guides) (which has been great) and Mysql Crash Course (Sams Teach Yourself) (which is a useful reference). I'd already developed one successful website using ASP.net, and had started to learn a few little bits of php from the web.
This book was the worst of my 3 purchases by a long way. It's just so boring! It was the first book I started with (because the outside looks nicest!) but inside it's just dull and badly laid out. The author may be technically competent but he rarely uses one word when he could squeeze in 3 or 4 instead. The code is annotated by comments in the lsitings, but these aren't really detailed enough to help you understand what's going on.
Sadly, I put a coffee cup down on this book and it's marked the cover. Otherwise I'd have sent it back.

Too simple for someone who knows other languages like C#, C, Javascript or Java as PHP is similar in syntax. What I need is some hardcore PHP and this failed! I will be looking for another book.

I've bought many books and tried many cbt's to learn php and mysql. How to do everything with php and mysql by vikram vaswani is amazing in how clearly everything is explained.
Well done and thanks Vikram for a great book! Keep up the good work! I've already bought another php book by Vikram Vaswani.
10/10.

I spent some time looking at books before I selected this one - I am glad I took the time. It is well worth while. It's a very well put together book. From installing php and mysql it examines first PHP and the Mysql and then the two working together. It doesn't really have tutorials but there are loads of really useful code examples. At the end it demonstrates the build of a news publishing system. Every chapter has a load of great websites for more information.
This is a very good intro book. It is not really a very useful once your up and running needing a good reference.
Downside - I found the set-up lacked something. I didn't bother with Apache as I already have IIS and it would have been good to have an ISS set-up, but its not hard to find on the web. Also its a bit Unix based - sorry but I use .... what's it called again?? - oh yes 'windows' or something! I think most people buying this book will be using windows and if you use windows this is still the book for you.
However the book does not deserve less than a 5.
