 How to learn PHP |
| Review Date: July 7, 2001 |
| Reviewer: iamtgo3, Naperville, Il United States |
| I have picked up "PHP for the World Wide Web Visual Quickstart Guide by Larry Ullman" and love the book. From reading his easy to follow hands on examples in the book I taught myself PHP and mySQL in 3 days. His book was very informative and enabled me to redo my entire site in PHP. I have emailed the author on different questions and problems and have received very helpful and informative replies. I would definately recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn PHP. |
Easy as PHP

| This is the most perfect programming book I've read, and the most easily understood. I only wish I'd had it 3 years ago. It's great for beginners not only to PHP but to programming in general. |
Excellent

| Very, very, very good book. I couldn't be happier. I even bought the php & mysql visual quickpro by the same author, and I am anxiously awaiting the release of the advanced php. The author is very friendly and happily provides help. I have been very happy with all the visual quickstart and quickpro books I've purchased. |
A great book for first time php user

| I've gone through several php books, but this one is easy for the beginner php'er and not so technical user. The examples were easy to follow and definitely worth while, unlike some other books that include examples that you would never use in a real life situation. I probably would not recommend this book for someone who has some background in php, since the contents covered within this book are very basic. But for a beginner like myself, it has helped immensely |
It doesn't get any easier

| As much as I'd like to give credit to the author, you have to recognize the beauty and simplicity of PHP, without which such an excellent book could not be written. As another reviewer noted, don't compare this book to the VQS JavaScript book. Just keep in mind that JavaScript is confusing and extremely difficult to learn. I can't, however, imagine someone having a problem with how the VQS books are laid out. Also unlike the JavaScript book, you actually *learn* PHP with this book. This book will teach you how to create forms and handle user input in a variety of ways with simple files as well as mySQL databases and, use cookies, and to a limited extent, encrypt data. Like every other "programming" book, it touches on control structures (loops, conditionals, etc.). What it doesn't cover, it gives a brief explanation of with a list of valuable resources. With half a brain and a basic knowledge of HTML, you will without a doubt be able to create a web site with a password protected login, personalized settings and a searchable database. While this is currently the first PHP book I've read, it's the *only* book I've ever read that truly got me up and running in a few days. If you have any interest whatsoever in PHP, BUY THIS BOOK FIRST. I just ordered the Advanced book and I can't wait to get it! |
