So you know HTML, even JavaScript, but the idea of learning an actual programming
language like PHP terrifies you? Well, stop quaking and get going with this
easy task-based guide! Aimed at beginning PHP developers just like yourself,
this volume uses step-by-step instructions and plenty of visual aids to
get you started testing scripts, using basic syntax, working with variables,
creating Web applications, and everything else you need to know to create
dynamic Web pages with this increasingly popular and important scripting
language. Along the way, you'll learn about all that's new in version 5:
the new Zend Engine, updated XML support, greatly improved streams (now
able to access low-level socket operations), a bundled copy of SQLite, and
more. Throughout the book, you'll find sample scripts and projects as well
as the timesaving tips and techniques that have become the hallmark of the
popular Visual QuickStart series. A companion Web site offers all of the
book's scripts for download.

The Perfect First Book on PHP
This is an outstanding first book for those wanting to gain a basic understanding of PHP. The text is straight-forward with lots of good tips and the examples are useful not only within the book but as code snippets for your app. I have lots of programming experience and just needed a quick leg up on PHP; this book was perfect. It is not a reference but the book also has tips on where to find definitive reference information on the PHP.net site. A huge bang for the buck.
