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!

"A good book which allows people to progress at their own rate, and to explore the things which interest them beyond the scope of the book."
