I haven't start this thread. So be carefull. I have Leons second edition
and you can buy another book at Markt+Technik. The PHP manual is for free
use. Use that if you are not comfortable with Leons book.
It is not very good to judge some books on this list. I know some authors
who contribute to the PHP manual and write own books.
