 It looks pretty cool, and even has some PHP specific stuff, but you have 
 to pay to play.

[PHP] Regular expressions book

2005-08-03 Thread Stefan Lemmen
Hi,

I've want to dig a bit deeper into regular expressions for php.
I wonder if anyone can help me choosing between 2 books I'm considering buying:

1. Open Source Regular Expression Recipes - Nathan A Good
2. Mastering Regular Expressions - Jeffrey Freidl

If your using/reading one of these books, please let me know which one
is best for PHP regex.

Thnx

Haven't read the first, but the second is very good. It really helped me 
to grasp the concepts of regex.

Also, you could try the O'Reilly book - Mastering Regular Expressions.
It's hardly bedside reading, but very thorougher.

It isn't PHP specific, but it is a very good guide from the ground up. It
isn't very good for 'quick reference' cookbook type stuff, but it will
give you a very good understanding of regex.

If you run Linux as a OS, there are a couple of regex gui's
(KregExpEditor for KDE) which are helpful. You 'design' the expression in
the interface and it gives you the actual reular exp as the result. I
am finding this a good way of learning, i.e. figuring out how the result
came about...

Just my thoughts...

Steve
