Very well written, wonderful examples. Scripts are broken down and explained in detail, piece by piece.

This book doesn't waste your time. It isn't so much about code snippets as it is about tactics and strategy. You have a site. You want to put some dynamic content on it. Here's what you do, using PHP and SQL. One step at a time, it tells you the best practices for security, for email, for XML parsing. And the author is not afraid to express strong opinions along the way, and to explain why some extensions and practices are better than others. NOTE: You must know how to write basic PHP code to get the most out of the book. It isn't written for beginning programmers. But it's really useful even if you develop with some other language.

I've been searching for a book like this for a long time, and it doesn't disappoint. 76 useful scripts, and even an introduction to regular expressions! Perfect for anyone working on a project.

I had a background in HTML/CSS and Actionscript but had never done much with PHP. I was looking for a book with simple, real world examples that would get me moving in the right direction. This was that book. After quickly digesting several of the short, well written chapters, I was able to do a few things that I wanted to do as well as several things I never dreamed of. This book gave me enough of a start that I now feel comfortable using the vast array of free PHP resources available on the web to continue my learning. This is a not a reference manual or a tome on PHP/MySQL application development, but it's a great entry into working with PHP.

I was looking for a PHP script online one day and stumbled across this book in my search. After reading the reviews, I decided to give the book a shot. As a person who owns over 15 PHP books, I was wondering whether I would find something magical in this book compared to the others. I was VERY surprised!
This book is absolutely AWESOME!!! The books chapters are very well organized and then broken down into important topics of interest under that. It bills itself as "real world scripts that solve difficult problems". This book succeeds in this. The book also includes 3 full programs.
I have found use for 45 of the 73 listed scripts. If you are a PHP developer, this book is a MUST for your arsenal.
