Good book for the PHP certification.
 
Review Date: October 4, 2007
Reviewer: H. Wang,
This books covers a good amount of the topics on the certification, and I would definitely recommend it for the certification and general PHP knowledge. You will probably need more than this to pass the certification. I would recommend taking the online practice tests from the Zend certification site as well.
Buy this book if you want to pass the PHP 5 certification exam

If you are planning to take the PHP certification exam, you need to read this book. I passed the test on my first attempt and feel that I owe it to Ramsey and Shafik. The authors are active in the community, highly responsive, and genuinely helpful. I regularly recommend the Zend PHP 5 Certification Study Guide to developers in my coaching program. Bottom line? If you code PHP, buy this book. Full stop.
Very pleased

Reviewer: G. Lazu, London, UK
This is a very good study guide for the Zend PHP5 exam. Touches on quiet a few of the more subtle subjects in PHP5 and has a very nice learning curve. It's not recommended for the beginners and has to be read alongside other materials (be it online or offline) for maximum efficiency. It's not the definitive PHP study guide and you shouldn't rely on it alone for the exam. Great value for money!
I passed!

Reviewer: Pablo Viquez, San Jose, Costa Rica
I took the test and passed :) (I think that says it all ;-) )

I studied the book along with the PHP help in order to digg a little more on the functions. I also bought the online practice test to see which areas I needed to focus on.

I liked the book, easy to understand/read.
A good review, but not in-depth by any means...

Reviewer: Brian Dailey, New York, NY
If you have already been using PHP5 on a regular basis, this book is a good source of review material but doesn't necessarily cover very much new material. It is, I suppose, a good foundation to study for the test, but it *most definitely* is not the only book that you're going to want to read before taking the Zend Certification test.

I also noticed a lot of errors in this book, so beware of that. I recommend the book by Mike Zandstra PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice in addition to this one, especially if you are moving from PHP4 to PHP5.
