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.

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.
