Just a followup -- if you want to show other websites on your own
page, a friendly way to do this is using an iframe:
<?php
$site="http://www.example.com";;
?>
<h2><a href="<?php echo $site?>"><?php echo $site?></a></h2>
<iframe src="<?php echo $site?>" frameborder="0" title="<?php echo
$site?>" width="80%" height="200px"><span
style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">Your browser does not support
iframes</span></iframe>
That way, the site gets the hit, and you aren't copying anything. If
you do go this way, make sure to provide a break out so the user can
open the target site in a new window/tab.

The best book for a beginner? No, don't tell me php.net, I hear that
one already, and while it is indeed good, I want something in a dead
tree edition I can canny around and smoke as needed.

The latter is dated, but was clearly written.

I agree with Bastien -- I've had great luck with the PHP books.
"Beginning PHP4" has a permanent place on my shelf, even though PHP4
is outdated. "Beginning PHP5.3" hasn't quite supplanted it as a
concept book, but is my go-to for "here's a way to solve this
particular problem using a new version of PHP" book.

I'm still waiting for the day when folks on this list get together
and say, "let's put all of our notes together, as beginners and
intermediates, and put together a book for the newcomers, from the
newcomers, by the newcomers, who can relate to them without the taint
of overexperience."
If properly presented, it would not only be easy to shop to
publishers, but it could also be one of the first truly collaborative
publications to exist on biological remnants.

I agree with Daniel. I would be willing to contribute to that type of
collaborative initiative.

PHP Essentials (first edition) by Julie C. Meloni was the first book about PHP
that I ever bought. I did not find it very useful.
The second book was "Core PHP First Edition" by Leon Atkinson. It was more like
an encyclopedia/dictionary with some decent examples.
Around 2001 I started participating the general mailing list. I haven't bought
another book on PHP since. PHP.net manual, the php-general mailing list and the
wonderful members of this list, and Google have provided answers for all the
questions I have ever needed to ask since.

Is there something wrong with the PHP.net manual? Or you just want
something physical to be able read any where and stay unplugged? If the
latter and there's nothing wrong with the official manual, try downloading
the chm or single html file and print as you go. No need to lug around
thick that manual/reference ;)

Interesting, I forget that's there... I must have a play with it
