I bought this book to get me started with PHP. I've used all the other web development languages like JSP and ASP before, but having heard good things about PHP I decided to give it a shot. This book will give you a great introduction to PHP. I managed to install the included version of PHP /Apache without any hassle at all.The book covers accessing data from MySQL and gives you a quick and concise tutorial on SQL queries. Also covered is uploading, security, dates and times, php classes, and cookies/sessions.
I honestly can't believe that they managed to cover everything I can think of doing in a book this small. And its pretty good value for money as well.
If you are looking at getting into PHP, buy this book and you won't be disappointed.
