Good 2nd PHP book
I found that this book was an excellent 2nd PHP book. I understand the frustration of those who found it uninstructional. I also bought PHP fast&easy web development which is a step-by-step tutorial in PHP. But now that I've done the tutorial I'm REALLY glad I picked up both. If you're just starting in PHP this is not the best book for you to start with. But if you're...

Consider Something Else!
This book was a great disappointment! I am building a large application in PHP and was looking for some good project planning strategies and patterns. Instead I found the usual shopping cart examples written as if for a small scale project. The code snippets are full of white space and a few lines of code takes up an entire page, hence it is hard to follow. What little...

Consider Something Else!, February 10, 2003
This review is from: PHP Professional Projects (Paperback)
This book was a great disappointment! I am building a large application in PHP and was looking for some good project planning strategies and patterns. Instead I found the usual shopping cart examples written as if for a small scale project. The code snippets are full of white space and a few lines of code takes up an entire page, hence it is hard to follow. What little code I did try was full of errors and bad syntax. This book does not have a CD with it so you must type in all the code that you may want to start with. I suggest the book 'Web Applications Development with PHP 4.0' for your true professional projects.

Almost Unreadable, September 5, 2003
This review is from: PHP Professional Projects (Paperback)
Its not the worst book I've own, but it is very much a "type this in and view it" type book. No real explaining of deep concepts or anything like that. As far as the typos, sheesh(!), they are everywhere. And the code examples are so misaligned and wrapped around the page so strangely it is the very definition of unreadable code.Skip this one,...

This book is only for beginners, November 11, 2002
This review is from: PHP Professional Projects (Paperback)
I needed some help in the development of a fantasy sports website. I already knew some of the php basics from reading some tutorials on the web and this was my second php project. So I bought this book for three reasons 1-Its title (professional projects) 2-Its size 3-Its price which is higher than other php books. But although I found out some good things in this book like the beyond the lab chapters, for me it was a disappointment for several reasons:1-I had to read things I already know (programming basics).2-A lot of white spaces(the book should be half its size)3-The book is over priced...
If you want to buy this book make sure that you are a complete beginner or else you will not find a lot.

By A Customer
This review is from: PHP Professional Projects (Paperback)
This book is very incomplete. It is very brief on key issues, I can never find what I'm looking for.

Lots of typo, not really for professional projects, June 17, 2003
This review is from: PHP Professional Projects (Paperback)
First off, this is not a book for professional projects. The topics that the author discuss are very basic and not really pointing out any key concept. This book is more appropriate with the title such as 'Beginner Guide to PHP'. There are also typos throughtout the entire book. I spent more time correcting the errors in the code sample than graspping the concept itself. Not to mention that the examples layout on the page are very unorganized, the book doesn't make good use of margin and tabs. The screen captures are not very well prepared. Good book to read for fun or freshing up on PHP, but definetely not for professional projects.

A good one this!, April 15, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: PHP Professional Projects (Paperback)
I am new to PHP, but I found this book to be a gem despite the fact that it targets advanced PHP audience. The projects are certainly real-life. Absolute worth for money.
