Murach's PHP and MySQL (3rd Edition)

As described.

For me this is by far the best book I've read so far, throws you in the deep end quickly and explains things so well! Would highly recommend it to anyone learning php, it's greatly speeding up my knowledge! Thank you for all the effort that been put into this book!

Truly a Beginner to Pro book. All the topics I needed to learn to get productive fast, and presented in a nice logical sequence. If you need a PHP learning and desk side reference, don't pass on this book. It is one of the better books Murach has in their inventory. Definitely an A+++

I really like the simple-to-follow methods shown here. The table of contents is well written so you can pick a topic and jump right into exactly what you might need - a great reference book!

You learn php from the beginning, in very precise steps that are the building blocks, which eventually makesense of the whole PHP topic. The book is put together for the student rather than most books on the topicfrom the tutors point of view.Great achievement to have put this wonderful course in book form together, which is the best I have boughton the subject.
