I'm trying to learn PHP and MYSQL, and I have loved every other O'Reilly book I've read, so I didn't hesitate to order Learning PHP & MySQL. I should have read the reviews. Although the structure and general strategy for teaching seems sound, there are SOOOOO many errors and awkward sentences it's unbelievable. When I started working my way through it I printed out the errata pages, and just today I got stuck on a page. After an hour or so of frustration I came back to the errata listing online, and there are NEW entries. So if you do buy this one, and get stuck, check back often!
