Title: Some good hacks, not a lot of PHP
Review: The book has a lot of hacks, to be sure! And if the author presents a hack that EXACTLY fits your need, then the book is worth a read (not a buy). WAY too often, though, the 'hack' is "How to use some other, non-PHP product to get PHP to do what you want."The book is like bizarre combination of "Look what I can do!" and "Buy this book where I tell you, quickly and poorly, how to use someone else's product that really IS great!"The book is barely worth checking out at the library.
Is the review positive or negative?
