Review title: Could have been a terrific book
Product review: Unfortunately, this book has many errors in it and, until the publisher (Sybex) decides to release an errata sheet in order to make it truly usable, I can't recommend it. (I'll be happy to revise this review if they do.)This book has the potential to be one of the best on the subject - the author's writing style is clearly a cut above most other technical writers and he seems very knowledgeable about the subject. Unfortunately, as it stands now, the book isn't usable by a beginner because there are so many errors. PLEASE fix them!Update (Feb 3, 2004)I give up - since I first posted this on Amazon, nothing has been done to fix the errors. Neither the Sybex site nor the authors own web site deal with the problems in the book. Look elsewhere if you really need to learn php.
