Rating:  - Pathetic, do not buy ---10 stars
You could write a book just describing the errata and missing instructions for this one. Don't waste your money!
Rating:  - Good starter for PHP in Dreamweaver
If you already know PHP then this book will be too easy for you. If you know Dreamweaver and want to get into PHP, this book isn't large and can help you a lot.
Rating:  - Good book for PHP beginner
I've found this book very useful for a PHP beginner as me. I could make the whole website working with Dreamweaver MX 2004, PHP5 and MySQL 4x on my local machine and test it on a webserver using PHP4x and MySQL 3x.

Rating:  - Riddled With Errors
This book is riddled with errors, from nonsense layouts to coding mistakes. The interface (a hotel booking system) is very rudimentary and does not work as advertised.
The book does introduce readers to Dreamweaver's server behavior interface and does a good job walking readers through a local install of Apache, MySQL, PHP, and a few other tools.
A good idea, poorly executed.
