Even if youve never programming a single variable or function before in your life, youll be able to follow along with the books material, creating relevant, useful code in the process. Throughout the book, you'll find sample scripts and projects as well as the timesaving tips and techniques that have become the hallmark of the popular Visual QuickStart series. A companion Web site offers all of the book's scripts for download as well as a support forum where you can ask questions from the author and other readers like yourself. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not a feather in the visual quickstart guide's capThis book covers the basics pretty well, but on more advanced topics such as mysql and regular expressions this book seriously lacks. The examples are way to simple and not very helpful at all. His section on simple query language is down right terrible. The regular expressions exmamples are inane and unpractical.

Rating: - Awesome!!!I received tis product in a timely manner (in time for class), and it was in excellent condition when it got here! This text book has been extremely helpful in learning PHP, and is one of the many tools I am using to further my Web Design knowledge. Rating: - PHP for the World Wide Web (QuickStart Guide)This is a very well written technical reference. The examples are so good that I was able to get my 1st PHP web page up quickly even though I hadn't been through the entire book. Larry Ullman's book has passed my personal test -- I got something useful done. I'm now in the process of reading the entire book and using the sample code to more properly learn PHP. I have a number of QuickStart books and they are all excellent. They are on my sites recommended reading list. [...] Rating: - Great for learning PHPI picked up this book at the library and it was so informative I had to go out and pick up a copy for my bookshelf for keeps. If you want to learn PHP go with this one.
