I have been using this book for over a year now, and it has been a lifesaver. It is so handy to have a constant reference close at hand. Even with the wonderful PHP docs available at php.net, this book is very useful, particularly if you're learning PHP after knowing another language.


It does not cover advanced programming topics, but it is a very thorough reference to PHP. It is very interesting to read back through it after a year of working with PHP; many of the things that have puzzled me in the past about PHP are noted in passing in the text, even in the very beginning chapters about variables, flow control, etc.


A required book for anybody who writes significant amounts of PHP.
