2.0 out of 5 stars Know nothing about PHP? Stay away of this book..., Jan 19 2004
By 
JASTMI.com (Porto, Portugal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: PHP Bible, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
At first sight, it looks a nice book and after you notice its hundreds of pages you may think "I've found THE book to start learning PHP". Nothing could be more wrong!! If you know nothing about PHP just stay away of this book. It's not well structured (you hardly find what you want by using the index), the author wastes paper with silly advices (not speaking about the first chapters which are really needless) and the examples all along the book don't work as an invitation to keep reading it... I bought it as a victim of a good marketing operation but now I sell it together with MySQL Bible on a good price to those who don't believe me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good book for experienced programmers, Nov 8 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: PHP Bible, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I know that many people love this book, but I'm not one of them. I'm an experienced programmer and this book was not helpful to me. The way the book generalizes about programming concepts, databases and PHP itself makes me think that it is perhaps intended for beginners. Within the zillion pages that this book contains, I'm sure there is useful information. But the book rambles, it doesn't teach. Another book -- "PHP and MySQL Web Development" by Welling and Thomson -- takes an approach focused on real-world examples. That book works a lot better for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its a good book for Beginner, Aug 26 2003
This review is from: PHP Bible, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
Its a great book for our beginner to read that the codes and contects are very details. Also, the authors are very helpful that when I have problems in the book, they will teach me through email. So, my PHP become better now.. So if you are also a beginner, you must try this book
