Review title: Too many holes
Product review: While some of this book was helpful as a tutorial for someone new to PHP, there are far too many holes in the book and it is lousy as a reference manual. The index is terrible. To me a book like this must have a strong index or else it is useless. For example, I am working on a project that needs to determine the current date - a fairly common requirement. However, there is no entry in the index for dates or the PHP function getdate! I found the answer at the PHP website but that is what I bought this book for. This is just one example of the poor documentation in this book. There must be better ones.
