Re: [PHP] Good PHP book?
When you really want to learn a language, I find it useful to have a book that teaches you the language, and then a book for reference. Head First PHP is a GREAT starter book, especially if you're the type whose eyes glaze over when you're presented with walls of text. Its easy to read and very visually appealing. Plus it does a great job of teaching. http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-MySQL-Lynn-Beighley/dp/0596006306 As for reference, php.net is the best book out there. Beyond that, the Zend Certification guide and the o'reilly books you really can't lose. On Sun, Dec 14, 2008 at 5:33 PM, jeffery harris jhar...@harris4interactive.com wrote: Hi guys/gals.
