Good for PHP basics

My son was looking for an introduction to web development, and I couldn't think of a better place than PHP with which to start.

I found the author's writing style very enjoyable - and was particularly impressed by his choice of example programs. For instance, the chapter on databases introduces concepts using an adventure game!

The only problem I had was the lightweight treatment of Content Management Systems (in particular the discussion of PHP-Nuke), which ended up being much too generic to be of use.

However, that doesn't really detract from the quality of the rest of the book, which is highly recommended.

For the absolute beginner A+

This is an excellent book for the beginner. It steps you through the functions and has good sample code. I really recommend this book.

If you read it 2 or 3 times you'll get the idea

The authors writing style leaves a lot to be desired. He's hard to understand sometimes. He uses a game to illustrate the concepts of PHP & understanding the game was more difficult than the code. It's not bad - it's just OK. I'd recommend Charles Wyke-Smith "Codin for the Web" for a clear explanation of rudimentary PHP MySQL concepts with real world examples - not stupid games.
