You shouldn't use the cookbook in that way. Try like this: You are writing whatever application it is you are writing, and you come across problem X dealing with stuff about Y. What you do now is browse through the very first section of the book, called "Contents at a Glance". Look for the header concerning Y, then look on for a solution to problem X. Most problems you will encounter as a newbie are indeed touched upon by this book, and when that is not the case, there is the internet. > My only php resources are internet and this book. Great. That combination should get you well underway. ad. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] book help
Hi ! As I wrote earlier, I am a begginer in php and I don't have much experience in other programming languages. I have bought "the PHP developer's cookbook" and , just as I was told, I have read on-line tutorials for beginners(I read as many as I could find), but I still find this book rather difficult. Can anyone who has this book suggest what chapters should I read first or which topics on php are the most apropriate for a beginner. My only php resources are internet and this book. Thanx!

RE: [PHP] book help - where is O'Reilly's PHP Programming???
What I have been waiting for is an O'Reilly book on PHP and today I just discovered that Rasmus supposedly edited it for them (titled, "PHP Programming"), and was supposed to be published at the beginning of the summer. However, both Amazon.com and BN.com say it still hasn't been published. Does anyone know the status of this book? I'm sure it will be the best book on PHP!

RE: [PHP] book help
There is a ton of great stuff online as someone else mentioned. You might also want to check out phpbuilder.com, and zend.com for their various articles and tutorials. As for books, depending on what you're after, I highly recommend: "PHP and MySQL Web Development" by Welling and Thomson. This is also a book that is selling super well. I've read it nearly cover to cover and thought it was great. By a "beginner in PHP" I'm not sure if that means you're only a beginner at PHP (i.e. you have experience with other languages). I use a lot of other languages so I blew through the language tutorial parts pretty quickly, so not sure how that stacks up to say some of the WROX books or various others. You might also want to read the reader reviews on Amazon, that's how I found out about the above book. -Original Message- From: Nikola Veber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 10:36 AM To: php forum Subject: [PHP] book help I am a begginer in php and I have bought the Sterling Huges' "php developer's cookbook" since it was the only book I could find.

RE: [PHP] book help
since it was the only book you could find, that makes it a good choice by default, if you ask me. you can also visit www.devshed.com for some great tutorials.
