Reading "Creating Interactive Websites with PHP and Web Services" (Sybex) by Eric Rosebrock.
I've found it a good textbook and wanted to get some feedback from the group about two things I noticed in most of the code throughout the book which has helped me. 1. The author separtares .html form from .php script by using many include() functions for the .html files. I have found that that helps from getting parse errors from the many escaped strings throughout the .html within a .php file if the coder can separate the .html markup from the backend script as much as possible. Kind of like CSS which can separate form from content. 2. The author makes use of many switch() constructs throughout the book as opposed to if / else. He brings in variables from query strings when the user submits the .html form to match the switch() contructs which then decides what action will follow. Anyway, I found the textbook a nice change in the way he presented his scripts and thought others would like to share any feedback if they have read or are reading the book.
