This book can serve both as a reference guide as well as a practical introduction to php mysql. The book has a wider scope by not only exposing the reader to advance php programming and practical examples but also a detailed overview of mysql which is usually not found in php programming books. My only gripe is that the book could be written better in terms of style but overall this is a very good book to buy.

This book has an intelligent way of teaching beginners! Also an EXCELLENT resource for experts! For the price it is going for it is well worth your investment! I would pay twice as much for this same book had I had to do so!

This is a very good resource for learning PHP and MySQL. I have programming experience with [...], but this is the first time I have ever done work with PHP and web development.
This book helped me put together a dynamic photo gallery with a secured session controlled web based administration interface very fast. I can not recommend it highly enough. The examples are very useful; even the example projects. It teaches you how to build a shopping cart, email service, etc...
The writing is very concise and neat, and the book itself well organized. It seems like a lot of hard work went into making it because it flows very well.
PHP is a very easy and powerful language that I'm glad I am now utilizing, thanks to this book.
Tip: Windows does not have a PHP parser. To save yourself money for a testing server, and the hassle of uploading your work every time you update it, use WAMP Server. It's free from [...] and it supports PHP, MySQL databases, and other stuff. It is very convienent.

So I knew C++, MySQL, HTML, CSS and worked with some PHP, perl, etc., and then I found an entire web development e-commerce project in my hands. And I had to single-handedly make the whole thing, and run millions of dollars through it. Eek.
I got this book when I was actually looking for a PHP/MySQL learning guide. I was in line with some giant Learn PHP/MySQL-type of book, and something told me it wasn't the right book. I got out of line and found this book, "PHP and MySQL Web Development". When I started browsing the book, it dawned on me: I need to master this stuff AND be building my project at the same time. This book does exactly that.
You will learn the ins and outs of PHP and MYSQL AS IT PERTAINS TO WEB DEVELOPMENT. I strongly recommend this book to anyone about to build a web application with PHP and MySQL. It is just perfect for it.
