The book will be coming out.

No I haven't heard any more, but Rasmus has been a bit busy having his hand crushed and practicing baby noises, so he's probably in no shape to respond just yet! All I can find repeatedly says 'any day now', but there's no hard data beyond what can be seen (your (IMHO valid) comment notwithstanding) at the O'Reilly site. Am not keen to put in an advanced order, sight-unseen; and the man is usually right here, so ...

Too bad they don't have that "read a sample chapter" set up yet. That's a feature I don't usually use (there's a Barnes and Noble and a Borders near me if I want to read), but in this case would be nice. Erik Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.

But on the other hand, the writeup at O'Reilly that you link to doesn't really entice me -- it seems to offer the same topics as most other non-introductory PHP titles out there. I'd probably pick it up regardless, if only to demonstrate to O'Reilly that there's a demand for more books on PHP. To date, their PHP selection is pathetic.
