Review title: You're better off using the online documentation.
Product review: This book has many issues. Such as poor organization and indexing, missing php functions, and lack of in-depth examples with good explanations.If your new to programming and desperately need a reference to get you started, this may be the book for you. Yet the problems I mentioned above would be frustrating for new programmers. Its frustrating enough when you know what your looking for and can't find it. I find myself using the online documentation far more than I use this book.On the other hand, this book does provide various examples on how to use php and may prove to be helpful to some.Please note that this review does not cover chapter 2 "Installing and Configuring PHP" since I did not need to read this portion of the book.
