I have read other books about php including Programming PHP by O'Reilly, but Learning PHP gets at the hear of how to use PHP to create dynamic websites. This book is great for begineers and for power users. There are some exercises at the end of the chapter to practice, but the nice thing is to be able to look at the answers for extra examples at the end of the book.

This book covered so much about php and it's power in so few pages. The book also covers the new PHP5 features and the last chapter makes you want to explore more about php.

This book is a must have.
