Cronthenoob Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I find that I like the "head first" series books the best.The tutorials are great and they are pretty interesting reads. I could probably just read through the book and not fall asleep, lol. Lots of pictures and descriptions, they make it very easy to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 As some people on here know, I'm a fan of the O'Reilly series. They have several good books on a wide range of topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Goat Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 PHP for dummies was pretty good, the other "Dummies" books are probably good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula_dude Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 A great beginners book is PHP5 In Easy Steps. But if you're looking for intermediate books you might find that a little patronising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatsr Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 As some people on here know, I'm a fan of the O'Reilly series. They have several good books on a wide range of topics.Agreed.O'Reillys books are mainly about security as far as I know and how to bypass it ore I should have been reading the wrong books.Ruud Hermans.They're not mainly about security, although if your site isn't secure, you might as well just take it down. O'Reilly publishes books about a wide variety of web design languages AND also books on site security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eguru Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I find that I like the "head first" series books the best.The tutorials are great and they are pretty interesting reads. I could probably just read through the book and not fall asleep, lol. Lots of pictures and descriptions, they make it very easy to learn.It doesn;t matter if u are a fan of the publications above , instead just think is it good enough for the learner. coz everyone is not like u as they differ.Orielly pub is for people who are geek as it is not easy to learn , i would recommand you sams publications or dreamcode pub.Regards.

justsomeguy Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I wouldn't necessarily agree, I think that O'Reilly books are written in a style that makes it very easy to learn. Specifically, these might help:http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/learnphpmysql/http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/progphp2/http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/webdbapps2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
