AndyB Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Whatever books get recommended, be aware that it takes a long time to author and publish a book. Many books contain outdated code which is more likely to frustrate than educate.

Honoré Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 There are a lot of good books on PHP available.As my daily reference manual I use the on-line PHP manual at [a href=\"http://www.zend.com/manual\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.zend.com/manual[/a] .A good tutorial for learning how to use PHP to get basic web sites running is "Core PHP Programming" by Leon Atkinson.Tips and trick on "how to" in PHP4 and PHP5 are found in the "PHP Phrasebook" by Christian Wenz.And why not prepare yourself for the Zend PHP Cetification exam with "Zend PHP Certification Study Guide" by Zend Technologies?Finally, did you ever envisage the development of desktop applications with PHP? The book "Pro PHP-GTK" by Scott Mattocks will put you on the road.

Larry's books are good. You can find the basic edition, Advanced Edition and a combined PHP and MySQL. Much as I agree with AndyB that many books contain outdated code which is more likely to frustrate than educate, there are, however, forums for these books that answer questions posed from the them.here2learn Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/12232-any-good-books-on-php/#findComment-46924 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveejay_1 Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Thanks guys. I'll have a look at Larry Ullmans book. Did a search on amazon for it and feedback was excellent. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions. Until then.
