It's my first PHP book and I think it's the last one.I don't want anymore. This book show deep technical detail about PHP.The concept is well illustrated by pictures and the content not only show you how to programming PHP but it also show you how to apply PHP in real life such as using it with Database, integrating with XML, making e-commerce shopping cart.,etc. I like it.

I was disappointed after I bought and read this book. Too many people gave it a five star. I will give this one 3.5 but this is not a choice in the drop-down box. SQL Server system tables and system stored procedures are very important. This books doesn't give me much information. Microsoft might not want DBAs and developers to really know the inside of SQL Server 7.0. OLAP and Data Warehousing are also two very important areas. I can't find these topics in the content. MSDN library is a much better resource for writing sql statements or queries. You will know the syntax and more examples. Overall, this is still a good book.

Finally good book on the market for stored procedures. This book "shoots" directly at the hart of problem. Developers need tips and advanced technics, and you have it here. I recommend this book for every professional who want to be the best in DB programming. Try it, you'll find for long time searched solutions, I suppose.RegardsNikola

Title: Core PHP Programming: Using PHP to Build Dynamic Web Sites (2nd Edition)
Publisher: Pearson Education
Authors: Leon Atkinson
Rating: 4/5
This is a well written, and useful book for the novice PHP programmer. It has nice examples, and a "down home" style that will appeal to people bored of the usually droll programming manuals. It is also an excellent reference manual for the experienced PHP programmer, and much better than the terse online doc available.The only negative worth mentioning is the quality of the printed material itself. It looks like the book was rushed to print -- the bindings have excess glue, and many of the pages are machine crinkled. Otherwise, I'm sure my copy will end up well worn and dog-eared ...

Title: Sams Teach Yourself Apache 2 in 24 Hours
Publisher: Sams
Authors: Daniel Lopez
Rating: 4/5
Setting up my first Apache server, I found this book to be an invaluable aid. It discusses Apache's range of capabilities, explains the internal processes involved in serving Web sites, and illustrates typical configuration options. The explanations are simple, straightforward, and organized, and the writing style is encouraging. If I have any complaint, it is that I ran into more build/installation snags with several third-party Apache add-ons than the book predicted. Your mileage will no doubt vary.

Title: PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice
Publisher: Apress

Rating: 5/5
Learning PHP is easy and rewarding, but as your software grows you will need to know how to manage your code, work as a team, and break your problems down into well defined abstractions. This book gathers together all the tools you need in around 400 pages. Not too long considering its scope. It's a practical guide with an easy style that gets straight to the point. It's a great introduction not just to PHP 5 but to object oriented methods in general. If you're just getting started, or if you're an old hand and want to see how large scale applications can be written in PHP, I recommend you read this book.

Rarely, do I ever read a book with a lot of meat in it. This book has a lot of meat. It explains PHP in detail with a good knowledge base all around. I have read better books before but this is definitely on of the better ones. Sure its not literature like some people expected on there reviews but hey its a computer programming book not Shakespear (nor would I read Shakespear anyways).

This book taught me how to program in PHP in just one day. However, I don't think the beginner will spin up that quickly but I do recommend it for someone with some experience in programming that wants to learn what PHP is all about. This book actually had me writing code that would connect and use a MySQL database with ease. To be fair, sometimes the book didn't do a good job explaining some of the concepts but overall it was sufficient. I dont recommend this book to experienced PHP users. But it is great for beginners to intermediate.

Title: Microsoft(r) SQL Server(tm) 2000 Analysis Services Step by Step
Publisher: Microsoft Press
Authors: OLAP Train, Reed Jacobson
Rating: 3/5
This book is very basic and should provide a good foundation for those people who are not familiar with SQL 7's OLAP or the newer implementation called 'analysis services'.It is easy to read, the examples on the cd work perfectly and the tutorials provide a good overview of how to create your own cubes.It's pretty thin and after reading through the first few chapters I found myself putting it down and just diving into designing my own stuff with microsoft's interface. It's a very logical application and with little or no resource materials people could easily figure this out with the tutorials included with the software.This is not a good reference book, though I'm at a loss as to what would be a decent reference book on this subject since it's one of those things you either know or you don't.MDX is VERY thin, and since you can teach the basics to yourself, a reference/primer book on MDX may suit you better.
