Re: [PHP] php books
Revisiting said dead horse, it's interesting there is no clear consensus of opinion about what is the best book to use to learn php. Generally, you get several people chiming in talking about the website. Now the website is the bomb indeed, BUT IT'S NOT A BOUND BOOK! So that's a terrific answer to a totally different question. Kirk I did not actually read Head First PHP MySQL (because I was already too deep into PHP before this book even came out), but in general I have really enjoyed learning the beginnings of my experience with various languages from the Head First series. That series is generally really user friendly and makes it easy to dive in to the language covered by whichever book you choose.

Re: [PHP] PHP Books - A poll of sorts
The vast majority of my work these days is done using the Drupal CMS, which has its own coding standards and best practices and conventions that are (IMO) pretty darned good. I've adopted most of it in my non-Drupal work, too, for simplicity. So um, maybe, but I probably wouldn't jump at it as I feel I'm already using good enough practices.

The team that delivers the Chisimba framework (http://avoir.uwc.ac.za), has also developed our own best practices, as well as documentation standards and coding standards. These standards are pretty much in line with most of the large projects out there (I have never needed to look at Drupal, so I cannot comment there), but I am willing to bet that there isn't much of a difference. We publish our coding and doc standards, as well as a bunch of HOWTO's etc to get started, under a CC BY-SA license, so that if people would like to adopt that, or build on it, they are free to do so. I would not mind seeing at least *some* homogeneity in PHP code, across projects, but I still don't think that *all* projects need stick to the same standards - this will ultimately stifle creativity, which is what PHP is all about anyway.

Re: [PHP] PHP Books
Hi Chris The first book, Teach Yourself PHP and MySQL in 24 Hrs: I got that one myself, but it tends to gather dust nowadays... It was very useful in the beginning with learning the basix syntax etc, but I quickly outgrew it, and rarely use it at all, not even for reference. I got the book called PHP and MySQL web development by Luke Welling and Laura Thompson. This is a great book, I sleep with it under my pillow and use it regularly as a reference to examples. I'd say it's basic enough to start out with, yet advanced enough to keep you interested as you grow more adept. BUT, I must admit, at this point, the single resource I use the most wrt PHP is the manual that comes with PHP, great reference to functions etc, but of course, you need to know of these functions before you can just refer to them... So, I would still suggest getting the Luke Welling et al book. There's a new edition on Amazon for $35, plus shipping of about $25. The last time I ordered, the Rand was much weaker, and the VAT was about R55, bringing my total to about R800, but it's well worth it... There is also a new book by Rasmus Lerdorf and it's cheaper than the book I mention, unfortunately I don't have insight into that book, and what would the guy that wrote PHP know about it anyway heh? ;p On Wed, 2003-03-12 at 11:45, Chris Blake wrote: Greetings learned PHP(eople), Can anyone offer comment on the following books on PHP.

PHP Fast Easy Web Development by Julie Meloni kicked things off for me (after knowing only HTML) basically walks you through the code of common things that you would want to do with PHP. (email a submitted html form - insert/retrieve and edit data in mysql database) Read through the examples and picture it in your mind. Lots of it is repetition but by the end you'll understand or at lest know where to look to find answers to solutions you want http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search/002-6827406-7685618?tag=opera-20index=blendedkeyword=PHP+Fast+Easy+Web+Development Julie's site: www.thickbook.com Many tutorials available here as well. PHP Bible is another good reference book. There's also a lot of sample code in here if I remeber right http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search/002-6827406-7685618?tag=opera-20index=blendedkeyword=PHP+bible The manual is really invaluable as well. It's very well organized and easy to find what you need if you know how to use it. A boring but helpful activity would be to read through the summaries of the functions. You won't remember all [or any :)] of them, but you will get an idea of what is possible and how powerful the language is. Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes Also ought to pick yourself up this cheapy while your at it. A great intro to SQL. It's great for a reference and an idea of what is possible (and how simple the majority of what you want to do really is) You'll probably be using MySQL at some point and this will help lots to understand how the database can help you out. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search/002-6827406-7685618?tag=opera-20index=blendedkeyword=Sams+Teach+Yourself+SQL+10+Minutes olinux --- Armoured [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hello, i have been told that i should email you to help me with my question, and the auestion is: Can you recommend an GREAT book for someone to learn php off.

I learned a lot of techniques like using templates and PHP's object oriented features, and some non-introductory coverage of things like databases and security. However, the book is more like a rough guide than an in-depth tutorial, so you really need to already know PHP to use it (which is why I liked it -- short and sweet). I'd recommend it to someone who knows PHP basics but might want to know how shopping carts are written, or how to use OO or some security and database advice. There's a chapter on XML too, but the XML stuff in PHP changes at times so I wouldn't rely on it. Rasmus Lerdorf wrote a book on PHP for O'Reilly, it apparently just came out a few days ago although I haven't read it. I believe it covers many advanced topics as well (not just a tutorial).

RE: [PHP] PHP books
Ditto on that one Adam. PHP And MySQL Web Development comes highly recommended. Big book lots of content. Real world working examples. Very well written. You will break the binding on this book I guarantee it. ;) -Kevin -Original Message- From: Adam Alkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 2:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP books A great book I read is PHP and MySQL Web Development, authors Luke Welling and Laura Thomson. Its an excellent book to read if you are new to PHP and MySQL, and even if you have a good knowledge.

[PHP] PHP Books
Hi, I know this may be a previously discussed topic, but I want to be sure I get the right books. I need a good book on intermediate PHP programming. I am looking to buy PHP 4 Bible, but is that the best I can get? I looked through the list on the PHP website, but it does not rate the books so I don't know which is best to start off with. Untill now I have used the manual, but I need more everyday examples.

RE: [PHP] PHP Books
I second the recommendation of the WROX Professional PHP Programming book. If database work is anywhere in your future, though, try PHP and MySQL Web Development by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson. It is an EXCELLENT reference on both PHP and MySQL, and although I own several PHP books, I find myself referring to that book for almost everything. (I think one of the authors, Luke Welling, is on this list, but I'm not sure.)

[PHP] PHP Books
Hi, I'm just starting PHP and am looking for some books that you'd all recommend. I've used quite a few of the SAMS books before and have found them to be really good, i also have access to The PHP Dictionary which i've also found to be really good. But are there any books which you would recommend??
