Rating:  - The Best
The best book for learning PHP and MySQL integration. You can literally create functioning, job-earning interfaces from the information in this book.
Rating:  - Another review...
I'll just say what I like about this book. It is easy to understand how things work from following examples. Some authors know the information but their writing style is horrible, that is not the case here. The book is broken down into sections/chapters in a logical way. It is concise but at the same time explain things sufficiently.
As I was reading this book further, I found a very serious contradiction that I thought I should share with the readers:
Page 144: "PHP does not support function overloading..."
Page 161: "PHP5 now supports function overloading..."
P144 should either say that prior to v5 it didn't support function overloading or just not mention it at all. People tend to make notes or just memorize things as they read and sometimes skip pages. This book claims to cover PHP5 so errors like these should never make it into final print.
Rating: - Excelent book
It's easy to understand and shows you examples of how to actually create useful functions.
Rating: - All their examples work!
Excellent book. All their examples work and they describe the differences that can be encountered in different recent versions of PHP. Pretty much all you need is here, and the whole book comes on the CD so you can take it with you when you are travelling.
Rating: - Excellent Read and Reference
For beginners this book is very worthwhile. I bought 2 "PHP and MySQL" books from Amazon and I haven't even opened the other book. Whenever I need code examples or a reference this book provides me with the answers.
The included source code also offers alot of code examples.
