Disregard the one star rating because I nver got this book. Some glitch at Amazon decided my address was undeliverable even though I've been getting packages for 10 years. I was really hoping to get this book because I like the HTML CSS book by the same group. Amazon, please look into this glitch.

Well. I bought this book based on a misleading forum post. I'm a PHP programmer myself and wanted to get more in depth on certain areas regarding the language. If you like confusion, then this book is the one you should get. I couldn't get past reading one page, I tried and tried but all of the drawings, funny pictures of people (what the hell what that for?), and graphical elements I just couldn't, basically impossible. What a mess. Never returned a book to Amazon before, ever, but this one I sent back… It was very disappointing. Just think that a page of this book tries to explain something simple using a Graffiti like form. HUH ? PHP is not hard at all, why make it look like it?

The materials presented in this book are very confusing I had to stop reading and pick up another PHP book.
The writers quiz you on stuff they haven't talked about and wants you to learn from the answer afterward… How annoying!
I am giving the book two stars because I did learn a few things from it.

Good to learn how this stuff works. Still making my way through the book but I'm surprisingly absorbing a lot in just a short time from it.
