I'll second that comment on the documentation with PHP. I bought the Definitive HTML Reference a few years back as an HTML reference because there was no single place where you could get a high quality refernce for all the HTML, CSS and JavaScript commands. The online documentation is pretty good, but I feel nothing can beat the Windows HTML-Help version: Its speedy, has an excellent search and it saves connecting to the net just to look something up.
