Title: Not great
Product review: This book is way to generic. Not great at all for someone who's starting to learn php, and isn't clear on the syntax or semantics of php. For example the code it gives to connect to oracle 8 and run a query is literally two pages long. Most of it is redundant and unclear. Further, commands like include_once("DB/standard.php"); does not parse on Windows NT machines running php. (A lot of syntax errors in book.) So, if your fairly new to PHP, and/or running anything either than a unix/linux/solaris box this book isn't for you.Oo the solution for the problem about include_once("DB/standard.php"); is to give the absolute path: include_once("c:/php/pear/db/common.php");
